So this manifold. Which is the eBay one that people on here have been cracking for years. You say you are going to weld up your own dp and exhaust. If you can do all that then why on earth are you not just building your own manifold. It costs about $125 in supplies to build your own log manifold that will last a hell of a lot longer then that cxracing one.
I have personally posted links and info on here on where to buy everything and what you need to make an exact copy of my MKTurbo setup. There are even a few people who have copied my shit exactly and I am 100% fine with it. |
Because thats not shiny enough.

Still waiting for someone to polish the TSE manifold.

I'm not quite comfortable enough with my fabbing skills to do a manifold. The downpipe and everything else I've done in the past and am pretty comfortable with. If it cracks, I'll replace it with a better one. I really would like to see for myself that it's a piece of shit, that's all.

I have a lot of respect for the knowledge and experience you guys have with our cars. But regardless, I'm going to do things they way I want the first time. I will take care of it if they fail. And I'm sure things will fail :)

I guess it's a good thing there is no shortage of jobs in industry as I don't seem to be making a good reputation for myself on the miata forum. God forbid. |

Here are some pictures of the welds on the IC piping and the mani. The welds are much more telling now that they have had some heat applied to them. Not great quality, but could be a lot worse. I have no information whatsoever to provide on the turbo, except the thread sizes and that it is a gt2554 replica. The turbo has already developed some blowby (mostly on the exhaust side, some on intake side) after a 5 minute low-rpm drive, so I suspect it'll be getting replaced rather quickly.

lol that's the same piece of trash manifold that has cracked multiple times over on lots of n00b's cars
dude, no one is going to physically stop you from using garbage parts, and no one is mad/upset either. if anything, it's amusing. you seem to be chill enough to admit you're making bad decisions, so keep on truckin, and just post lots of pictures when it cracks so the next guy learns that it doesn't pay to be stubborn, and that you're not discovering anything new, so really just pissing away cash. if you actually did your homework, you'd have found that another manifold, that is also dirt cheap, actually has a somewhat decent reputation of actually working for some time, and woulda got that one. oh well |
