Cool... looking forward to it. Interested to hear what turbo you are running and thoughts on clearance too.

only trouble with this manifold is you have to widen the bolt/stud holes and also you have to cut the studs a little bit so it doesnt touch the manifold when it all bolted up.

I like this. Closest to an OEM style look that I've seen so far in NA-T manifolds. I do wish the waste gate mount wasn't placed in such a way as to announce its presence though.

Sorry I never posted up. I was trying to get ready for a road-race session on Thursday, which didn't happen.

The wastegate mounting is kind of weird IMO, I had to buy a 1.5" flex line to run down under the car. I had to cut most of the studs to fit the manifold, although I've done this with every 2JZ exhaust manifold. The generic 3" ebay downpipe works better with this lowered manifold. The 4" intake pipe fits fine and clears the distributor easily. Compressor clearence isn't an issue, but Turbine housing will be with larger turbos hitting the shock tower.



Anyways here are some pics.

What size turbos are the two of you that have this manifold running? Some references for what turbine housings are known to clear would be good.

Thanks for sharing BTW!

61mm compressor, with .68 exhaust housing. I will measure, but there is probably about 2" of clearance. I was intially going to take a picture with a measuring tape, but I've been lazy after all of the snags I've run into. I'll do that later and post up.

Btw the video from sp with the supra gte version of the treadstone manifold has the wastegate positioned differently on the manifold. It's placed right in the middle of the manifold, but the Ge one isn't. I dunno how much it will affect boost spikes and creeps. Just something I have noticed.

Ive been using this for about a month. 61mm with a .68 hotside and works great. ON 10.5 psi....no creep or spiking at all. tial 44 to keep it calm. Overall...great product....btw...had a garret 74mm with a .96 hotside mocked up...with a little room left...no distributor issues..but was too big for me

92R154, checked out the car yesterday at the Glenn Burnie meet looks good, fmic just needs to fill out the grill opening, RSX seats looks good too. On the way home you rolled up on us was in the black 40 coupe, I was in the passenger seat when pulled alongside you and told you to get on it
