Yeap not a problem, I'll keep prices on the DL until its finished and proven to gain bottem end power. Just want to keep everyone informed on the progress
Sounds good -- keep the info coming!Yeap not a problem, I'll keep prices on the DL until its finished and proven to gain bottem end power. Just want to keep everyone informed on the progress

are you dynoing it vs the stock one?

Yes we are getting the car dyno'ed with the stock manifold on it to get a baseline number, then swapping the header on and dyno'ing again. Hopefully within the next couple weeks
I don't think any aftermarket exhaust header will fit under the heat shield. Why would you want to hide it under there any ways?
Normally I do a search and try to find the answer to my question before asking you guys but today I'm feeling lazy so here is my noob question...What are the pros and cons to equal length, tubular, log (and if there are any other styles please let me know) manifolds? Let's say I'm in the market for a new mani, why should I choose a equal length one over the other styles?

are there gonna be anny stress cuts on the flange?

SwirlFX, no it does not fit under the stock cover, that was a picture before everything came apart, its the stock log mani under there still.
livelyjay, it comes pretty close to the middle two runners, it will be fully ceramic coated inside and out. Also we are going to provide a length of header wrap with the manifold to wrap the plastic charge pipe just to be safe.
avarela86, yes we are a Rotary Specialist shop so we know about cracking manifolds. This same material is used on RX-7 headers which get much hotter than a Protege header would ever get and have no problems standing up to the heat. These should nearly be indiscructable.
GhostOne, Equal length headers give the exhaust gases the same amount of travel from the exhaust port to the turbo. lol...I'm having a tough time trying to explain why its better than a log manifold....maybe someone will have the right technical terms for it and can explain it better.
vindication, I dont think we need to put stress cuts in the flanges because we use mild steel for them which expand and contract better than Stainless Steel. The mild steel flanges along with the SS runners have been proven to be very tough and in my experience I've had no troubles with cracking.

Woohoo, awesome manifold. Am I correct that you are also doing a 1-1/2" runner option? Anyway I will definitely be keeping more track of this. Definitely keep us updated - hopefully I'll have money when this comes out because it looks like the Steedspeed manifold is loosing thunder (no pun intended).

Yeah, we are going to offer a larger runner option, but it will not be for stock location turbos. We can weld on a T25 flange for the stock turbo but I think it will choke it off too much. The large runner option would be best suited for T3 flange turbo's and engines with headwork.

also can you incorportate a external wastegate?

Hmmm well without having the car infront of me, I'm not sure if I could make a dp for it. Too many V-band options and dp flanges avail for all the turbos.
I could make an external wastegate as well. Not a problem.

...just ran into this thread
Looks like some very nice work thus far, its nice to see companies still interested in producing quality products for the Protege. btw, that 3" Turboback you mentioned caught my attention....Theres not really any options out there for full 3" Turbobacks with the stock MSP turbo, other than GHL and they want your first born as payment.
