Hey guys, I am going with a T60-1 and was wondering if I should have my tubular manifold made from scratch, or would I come out just as good getting one already made ? I'm not looking to spend $500 on a man. Are there any good manifolds running in the $300-$400 range ? I know of Crispeed's out of FL..........any other good sources out there ? Thank you.

 

BTW.....it's for an FD and it will have to match a divided exhaust housing.

 

Is this manifold garbage or what ? Just curious to see if anyone would use one of these manifolds from ebay. It's not an OBX, but prolly is from the same maker. I dunno....anyone ?? Thank you.

i just bought that manifold for my car. arrives tomorrow, i'll let you know how it works out. I think that 9base3 has the same manifold as well, so PM him.

 

Cool, what turbo are you going to use with it ? Please PM me and let me know what you think of it. Thank you. BTW.......how much did ya end up getting it for ? PM me.

 

Yikes, looks like another forum member had problems with this manifold. Read............. (ejmack) Complaint : Shipped Fast, but won't answer emails about Manifold Holes not lining up :MAD:

 

Me and 9base3 have them but he has his on the engine already.I want a turbo and wastegate before I put mine on.

 

i ended up getting the manifold for $127.50 shipped. I'm going to run a 60-1 with a .96a/r with it.



overall, the manifold looks pretty good. very solid construction, nice welds. the turbo arrives next week, so i'm going to wait until then to post pics.

 

I have mine:



NOTE: Manifold may need modification. Construction is good, but seems like it was made for a 2nd gen. Bolts fine but the exhaust housing hits the LIM (BARELY!!) Actually might have been made on a T3 platform... At any rate, you can either make a spacer (1/4 - 3/8") and it will clear or mod the manifold. I cut the flange off and angled it 10 degrees away from the LIM. No fitment issues now. The wastegate flange doesn't really fit well either (not that bad..). With a Wastegate attached, motor in car, the wastegate will hit the firewall. I had an adapter made and no problems.



I'm running a TO4R with 70 on the compresor and .96 on the Exh.



I will have MANY pics tomorrow. At work now.



I paid 150 shipped for the manifold and MAYBE 75 bucks for the wastegate adaptor and the mod to the manifold. I can get a bunch of the manifolds made if needed as well as spacers if you don't want to mod the manifold.



Summary: With a little work, you can have a badass tubular divided manifold for ~200 bones. Or you can go HKS and spend 600.







EDIT** Wait till you guys see my TO4R... BAD MO FO!!!!

 

Thank you for the info. I think I will just have a tubular man. made.
