Pics of the turbo manifold. Hardest part is done. NA-T very soon. Oh and turbo is a GT35R

The hardest part has only begun.

You might also want to consider maintenance and cleaning up the car while you're at it.

Otherwise good start.

Yo it's so dirty I got spiders and insects living in it, haha. I gotta raid bomb the whip cuz it's been sitting out so long since february. Engine bay hasn't been cleaned it since I got the car, 10+ years of dirty and grime oil, plus had to replace every seal out there. It'll be rejuvenated soon though.

what manifold is that one?

s0arer

It's one from ebay, cheapy, but worth the price and saved time from making the manifold from scratch since the collector and downpipes were already done. My mechanic modified it to where he wanted it.

What brand manifold? And does the GT35R have a 4" inlet? If you can find a link of it it would be nice!

s0arer

Probably some Taiwan company makes it, or maybe it's local. I'm not sure if we got it from the same person below on ebay, but looks the same. I know it was only $200 shipped for everything which was a steal at the time, now it's at $300.

definately looks like quality work....

And you shouldnt have any trouble getting this setup to work.

How much work exactly did he have to do to get it to fit? It looks like he cut off the flanges and used the OE ones, but what else? Thats a close fit next to the plus wires, I bet he had to cut off the turbo flange and clock it a little to get it to fit. Those sorry *** ebay manifolds usually dont work with bigger turbos like the GT35, especially in tight places like our cars... It looks good though, you might want to get him to brace it while he has it out cause its bound to crack. I might have to try one of these manifolds too since the full-race one is $2400... Keep us informed on how it works and good luck

s0arer

He hacked from the flange and he cut angle pipes so it would look cleaner. He It's not in position yet so it may move, yeah he had to clock it, plus calculate everything else, piping, oil return, ect... there's good clearance everywhere. Surprising the turbo bolted on the manifold can be slid in without having to put them in seperate, for installation ease. yeah, he may add a brace as well. Definitely keep y'all posted.

Isn't this the XSPower kits that are offered on www.clubna-t.com ?

DryBlaze

Oh so he reangled the manifold so it would clear the distributor? I thought someone actually offered a cheap manifold that clears the distributor with a 4" inlet.
