i was about to start mocking up a manifold just like this with weld-els. I would love to see it on an engine with a 2560 or bigger. see how it fits up.
|
I know you mentioned the manifold can be tap'd for either a T2 or T3, but are you planning on making that sweet cast downpipe elbow in a traditional 5 bolt pattern? (2554/2560/etc)

Nice!

I would rather see you charge more for this than stop making them. Obviously we are all thrilled to see your manifold, and the cast elbow is sweet too.

CAT comes free with every manifold :D

So I've been talking to Kraken and I think I'm going to be the first (or one of) to pull the trigger. I'll be getting a T2 tapped manifold and 3 Inch DP to mate to my SR20 T25 w/ Billet wheel. I'll keep you guys updated on my thoughts throughout the whole process.
For those interested, I'm trying to make a FM "like" kit. Which includes this Manifold + DP, Water and Oil Lines, Inconel Studs +Stage 8 Hardware, FM's silicone intercooler piping and either an ebay intercooler or Fab9 tuning IC.

Are you getting it for the 1.8 or 1.6? I would be interested in a 1.8 kit (manifold, dp elbow, downpipe) for a T2. I currently have the FM diy kit for the 1.6 but I'm swapping my motor so I need 1.8 parts.

I will definitely be interested in a 1.8l manifold. Will you have a full piping kit available for the China charger you posted? I would be interested in pulling the trigger on the entire kit!
[Edit]: This turbo: T25 T28 GT25 GT28 GT2871 GT2860 SR20 CA18DET A/R .64 Turbo Turbocharger RPFThis would be big enough for a 1.8l right? |
What turbos are you guys running on the T2 ? I'm getting the TD04 setup from Kraken but seems that's not too popular right now. :)
|
The popular ones are 2554 and 2560 on this forum but a T2 tap'd flange will support a variety of turbos.

TD04L 13t and TD04HL are two different turbos

Alright guys, to make things easier I will update the price list
I want to do the following I'll do 6 manifolds for $290 shipped, this means 3 x 1.8 and 3 x 1.6. Tapped for T2 m10 x 1.5 or m8 x 1.25 / T3 also the same configuration I am also doing 6 manifolds + downpipe + oil lines sets for $550 shipped, so that means 3 x1.6 and 3 x1.8. Downpipe will fit the following turbos T25 ca18det / T28 sr20det Payment is done by Paypal and I do not accept payments sent as gift I am not selling anything else for now until I get some feedback Also if you guys use facebook find us at kraken mx5 manifolds |
So whats left is the following
2 x 1.8 manifolds 3 x 1.6 manifolds 2 x 1.8 kits 3 x 1.6 kits Michael |

Thanks for the kind words. In no way did I take the comments as negative, i wrote a few replies but realized none actually answered the question about price.
I rather not make any manifolds then have to replace them, I made these manifolds because of the love for the mx5, cant explain it I just thought it deserved better than what was available. In now way I could afford to drop 7k on FM kit or similar, so decided to make my own, this was over 3 years ago and this where I am now The downpipe for the TD04L is actually a cast elbow with vband, it will not fit any other turbo http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...923/XSBdwt.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...924/sTptZ3.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...923/it1t14.jpg And this is a CAT relaxing http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...924/JY9s41.jpg |
