Hks Cast Manifolds

[R33 Impul]

Hey Ppls

My stainless exhaust manifold has developed a 1.5 - 2cm crack were the runners join at the turbo flange, so I am weighing up my options and was thinking of buying a HKS cast iron manifold to replace it with.

My problem being is that my turbo (T3/04B) has an internal gate so I was thinking of using a steel plate and some exhaust sealer to block off the external wastgate outlet on the manifold.

Do you think this will work and would it have and adverse effect on the flow of the manifold?

Thanks

No. Ive got the same manifold and will be running it with a blocked off external gate.

[R31Nismoid]

where was the manifold from/how much was it (the stainless one)

you could get the ext gate extension cut off and welded i would imagine.

My old manifold is being returned to a non-ext gated one actually

The Stainless one is from *cough* Ebay *cough*
