The last piece of the puzzle

patta · 07-07-2019, 19:44

So my engine bay has been under the knife removing and replacing anything that looks old and tatty. I now want to move onto the exhaust manifold .... now my idea is to keep the stock frame turbo as I have a damaged unit waiting to be built up in the near future. So my question to you all is this...

Which after market manifold do I buy? I have looked at jmf but that’s a little much, racetech, Japspeed so far, as above I want to keep the stock turbo but have a better flowing nicer looking manifold.

Thanks

Ctec is another option

Fp manifold.

20% bigger runners.... And doesn't crack like 3 of the standard ones I had on.

OK it doesn't look as bling as a jap speed or whatever....but works.

How much is the FP?

Around £400 at the minute it’s what I run on mine

Offer still stands

what's a good manifold that is SAS compatible? so far the only one i'm seeing is the tomei expreme manifold, but I've read around that it's prone to cracking too.

FP sounds good where do I get one of these?

Ross Sport sell that manifold, it's a really good price IMO. They also offer port matching and a thermal coating process.

Both are worth considering, you can do them yourself if you don't have the cash on hand to pay for it now.

I’ve got a Norris Designs manifold.

Cheaper and better made than c-tek.

A mate has a ported FP manifold on and his car made decent power .. these manifolds are good for 500ish so to me its a no brainer .

Mita · 10-07-2019, 08:22

Does the FP manifold still allow SAS?

war-machine · 13-07-2019, 15:27

Nope. FP manifold was made for US market where Evo's run without SAS system.

From big brands only Tomei and HKS made SAS compatibile manifolds, but both are prone to cracking on welds if turbo is not supported by additional bracket: exhaust elbow>engine block (the same as in stock).

what is wrong with the OE manifold?
