I thought you had to have a cast manifold to reliably track your turbo Miata?

EO2K 05-30-2017 01:24 PM

Hey! I know that manifold!

I honestly slightly regret selling it. Its sale caused me to spiral into my current oblivion.

huesmann 05-30-2017 01:28 PM

Luckily for you it's for sale again!

Up until the TSE manifold came out, Absurdflow was the absolutely best you could get. Then I would say Artech. I would personally still take an Absurdflow/Artech manifold over any other cast manifold besides the TSE one.

Thanks Larz!

Abe@ARTech and Matt@Hellafab both produce great manifolds, and they look prettier too!

If this manifold was to be used on a dedicated track car, bouncing off the rev limiter on banked straights like Sav does, I would recommend some gussets overlapping the welds. Or just run it and fix/gusset the cracks when they form; fixing weld elbow manifolds is relatively simple, not so for most cast manifolds.

Often you don't even have to pull the manifold off the engine :D

So does this come with an intake? or just the heat shields for an intake?

Does this fit the oem midpipe?

Still unsure what model years this kit is for. I have a 2001 with A/C.

Leafing through the various for sale threads, it seem this will fit an A/C car, but still not sure about total fitment, intake, or stock exhaust compatibility.

Another PM sent.

huesmann 06-03-2017 06:18 PM

Supposedly the fit is for an NB. I was going to have to get the additional parts to make it fit my NA and hope I could sell the NB-specific parts (AFAICT the intake heat shield and downpipe). EO2K and 18psi should be able to answer any other fitment questions.

Just buy this already, so I don't have to.

thumpetto007 06-03-2017 08:46 PM

Go for it man, my final offer was shot down. I'll just go with a brand new MKturbo setup, or FM setup.

Boosting this to the top (sorry, couldn't help myself).

huesmann 06-27-2017 10:10 AM

Sold locally.

TurboTim 06-27-2017 10:13 AM

So no one on here? Just for my records.

huesmann 06-27-2017 10:26 AM

He may be on here; but I wouldn't know his handle here.
