GI: Replacement exhaust manifold

[thepope540]

i'm out unfortunately. the gt 35R is t3 flanged.

It wouldn't take much to flange one for a t3.

you would have to redesign the mani for a 35r move the collector a little closer to the block and make it parallel with the block the 35r comp housing is massive.

Thinking of having my manifold coated in SSR aurora. What do you guys think?

Got a reply from the dealer the coating can't handle the heat.
Sorry for taking up space

 

[KrayzieFox]

Looks ok, but I would personally prefer a simple ceramic coat.

I know its easter and all but i gotta ask.. any update? lol Never know he could of worked on it come yesterday.

Heres the requested update...

The manifold after 30 seconds with a wire brush.

Collectors being cut

The massive pile of parts all ready to be assembled.

And a pile of thermostat spacers all ready to go.

If we buy a mani we get the spacer free right

I like the progress. Looks good. Can't wait to be rocking yet another pope part.

Yes, but the free spacer comes with a $35 shipping and handling fee

Tonight I'm going to cut another half dozen collector slices and then de-burr and shine them all. Then I can get the first customer manifolds knocked out. The NON-EWG manifolds will be first with one or two shipping this week. Highflyin has a wastegate headed to me for mockup so I can get the EWG manifolds going as well. Its going to be a busy week.

Hey tom do you accept bill me later as payment option on your website?

 

[thepope540]

Yep, if you do that paypal pays me on the spot and then you pay paypal later with interest - just like a credit card.

Do you have access to someone that wants one of your manifolds with a perrin./turbolife fmic setup for testing purposes on clearances with the EWG and the hot pipe?

I don't, but I sure wish I did.

 

[SCMP3]

Lol well I will be ordering the spacer and the mani at the same time.

Unfortunately no progress was made today. My wife's van wouldn't start after work so I had to load up the kids, drive across town, and spend a couple hours working on the parking garage floor. I'll be back at it tomorrow.

Family come first mang.

Thanks for keeping us updated and as mike stated below family comes first.

Family come first mang.

+1 and its not like i can install the manifold right this sec anyways.

I know it doesn't look like an entire evenings worth of work but making the collectors is by far the most time consuming part of the proccess. Still looks like Ill be shipping the first one or two manifolds within a week.
