I have a really good deal pending on an absolutely huge turbo... I'd rather not say what it is, because... well, I dont need anyone to tell me how slow this thing's gonna spool. Hahaa..

I'm looking for turbo manifold options as the exhaust flange is a t4. Its also an externally gated turbo. Is there any particular reason why fabricating a 3-4 inch spacer, that converts to t4 flange, and has a wastegate flange attatched to it, would be a bad idea?

I'm not too stoked about paying $1000+ usd for an aftermarket manifold just yet.. And I'm not very exited about that $100 ebay garbage... I'd like my stock manifold to work untill I can fab my own a little ways down the road..

Any suggestions?

Thanks dudes!

You can get a flange from t3 to t4 from horsepowerinabox.. but you might have trouble putting a massive turbo low mount if your planning to use your standard manifold ... what about 6boost? i read they're doin well in the HPI mag... custom manifolds and ones ready made... give em a go

Just checked em out.. Horsepowerinabox makes an internally gated t3 flanged manifold, and I didnt see a t3 to t4 adapter flange... Another problem I have is that the motor is in an s13, and I am unsure if their manifold would fit with my LHD steering column.

6boost's website is under construction.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Call Protechfabrication, He can make you a very strong manifold. What kind of manifold are you looking for? Equal length? Tubular non equal? Here are some pics of there work. He has made one manifold for the RB20/25 so far but it's not finished yet. Mostly SR20 manifolds that go on fwd car and awd cars like the GTiR. He is very happy with the amount of room we have with the 240's. Wayyyyyyyyyyyy more room than a fwd B13-B14. some more pics http://www.3rdgearvtec.net/Andys%20Videos/Protech/ http://www.3rdgearvtec.net/Protech/ The RB one he is making is about this thick P1000702.jpg.

Here is there web page with the contact info. http://www.protech-fabrication.com/

I've just been thinking today about manifold options and basically come to the conclusion that not only do I not want to pay $1000+ usd, but... what in the world would ever be sure to fit my application? LHD s13, very very large turbo, and still make for a reasonably shaped turbo elbow? Nothing! lol..

I think I'll be better off buying a decent welder and making a log manifold, DP, and the required IC piping.

Thanks for the help everyone

If all you want is a log then use the factory manifold. You can make an adapter box to put a bigger turbo on the car, tho it's not best way to make power but it will work.

    • Been over 2 months since I have done anything on the S15 and had a day off today so got stuck into mounting the radiator and intercooler. I ended up using factory bottom mounts as bolted in and I did order some gktech top brackets but didn't work with the PWR radiator so made up some with aluminium flat bar. Spent way to long on them but pretty happy how they are. Next job was the intercooler. Used some more aluminium flat bar and did the bottom mounts first. Top was easy as just one long piece and 2 90 degree coming off rad support and welded them on. The bumper support required some notching to let the outlets sit where I want so will add some reinforcement later to strengthen it. I have also bought ecu and waiting for it to arrive. Went with a Link g4x Xtreme but will be adding a ptmotorsport expander to add a few extra inputs over CAN. Went through a few different configurations on pclink to get what I want to allow future expansion for sensors and gearbox upgrades. Ordered gktech rear arms but looking at the hardrace lower control arms to have some extra adjustment too will see how the alignment looks after first setup. Got 2 more weeks of work before shut down and will have almost 4 weeks to work on this so planning on hopefully firing up mid January.   Also bought a 2015 brz with a heap of good gear, did noosa hill climb a month back. Owned it for 3 days changed alignment and sent it. Finished the weekend 2nd in class and only .3 off the 180sx best time last year. MCA Red coilovers, gktech rear lca, bolt on lock kit and tie rods, whiteline toe arms, cusco 1.5way diff and 4.5 ratio, endless brake pads, headers, exhaust, perrin intake and e85 tune. Electronic steering adjustment, nankang crs with koya wheels 17x9 +35. Have bought rear traction arm and relocation kit, extended studs and v3 tie rod kit. Planning on also getting flex tune as lucky to get 300km a tank with e85 and short ratio. Car is a heap of fun to drive and super easy to work on. AC in the line up at Noosa was mint in 35degree weather.
    • I'm 22 years younger than you mark, and I'm operating in the exact same way! Ha ha ha
    • All clamps are oem    one question is , what is the bit at the top on high pressure pipe where it connectes to intake manifold and other side goes toward the engine( see item in red circle in diabram attached)   ? Seen some people stating that should be removed on boosted application and skyline is boosted from manufacture so little puzzled. Mine is around 23pwi (700 hpish)   also some state it could be the bonjo bolt crash washer so bought two washers
    • what do you mean dead platform? People buy older, out dated and less power cars on "Dead platforms" for over $65k all the time.
    • That is really nice! Very nice finish when you have an oven to do the crinkling nice and evenly!
