Is there an aftermarket Turbo Manifold out for our MSPs?

I see them for Eclipses and stuff all the time. But never for our car. Also would it really make much of a difference from ours , or is ours already pretty much good enough?
 
personally, i don't think it'll make that much of a difference with the little gt25. if you upgrade the turbo though, an equal length manifold would be cool :)
 
not worth upgrading unless you're changing the turbo. there are MANY other weaknesses of the car to spend money on if you need to.

p.s.- it's called an exhaust manifold, not a turbo manifold

This is an upgrade worth getting!!! If you take off our heat shield you will see that the turbo is placed on one side not in the center and also the runners on the turbo manifold, and yes it is called a turbo manifold, are very big. Why, I think its bc this is the same turbo setup thats used on the 2.0 liter turbo diesel in Europe and they use bigger runner on there exhaust manifolds. I also was taking to terry at spool and he said by putting an equal length manifold on the MSP would give faster spool up, better throttle response and a small increase in power..
 
in my opinion, there is no need to upgrade anything that is t25 specific, which is why i stated such. you can upgrade plenty of things that are non-t25 specific that will carry over when a turbo upgrade is done so you won't have to redo anything and can still see plenty of benefits from these upgrades. there are many other weaknesses to address before spending $500+ on a tubular exhaust manifold (specifically the fuel system and the tuning of it, among other things), since nobody is going to be making a cast unit.

and chapter 10 in maximum boost is titled "Exhaust Manifold Design," not turbo manifold design. i think Corky Bell knows what he's talking about. go find a turbo manifold for a dsm, you won't. you'll find plenty of exhaust manifolds though. but really it's just terminology, and they're interchangeable, neither one is right or wrong, i just dislike the term turbo manifold

the t3 and t25 flange is the same. either turbo will bolt on.
same flange used on a td04-15g... and others.


exhaust manifold, turbo manifold.. its the same thing.
 
the t3 flange is not the same as the t25, if it were people on this board would have already just bolted up a t3/t04. and people with sr20's wouldn't have to upgrade the manifold to go with a t3/t04. the t25 flange is the same as the t2 flange, or any 2 series like the t28. as far as the mitsu turbo, i'm not sure about that, but i know none of the other g series (13g, 16g, 18g, 20g, etc...) are going to bolt right up.

first, the 2g eclipse has a garrett t-25, which is one of many mistakes they made on this car :)
second, it has a mitsubishi flange, it is not just a straight garrett turbo, which is why a mitsubishi 16g will bolt right up. you cannot bolt a t-25 from a sr20det to this manifold, for example. we do not have a mitsubishi turbo flange on our turbos, it is a straight garrett flange, and a t-25 from a 2g dsm will not bolt up to our manifold.
 
Ok. That clears things up. I meant to put T-25.

Why dont we just bolt up a sr20det into one of our cars and be done with it lol.(hump)

What I meant by that was swap our engine for the sr20det. It was a joke. Not a very good one I guess.
 
i knew what you were sayin :)

all you'd need is an engine, ecu, wiring stuff, a bunch of custom piping/tubing, a way to either mate our transmission to the motor or get their transmission to fit on our car, among other things :)
 
If this is true (that any T-2 series would fit), couldn't you use a GT-28R or GT-25/40 Hybrid?

That's what I was thinking you could do. If not, I'm not sure I wanna spend a grip for the turbo I do want and another $500-600 for a different turbo manifold.
 
Callaway was very careful to ensure that ONLY the Callaway GT25 would mount our manifold. In fact from furthere inspection, it almost looks like a one piece design. (It's not, but it sure looks like it.)

You'll need a new manifold to accomodate a new turbo.
 
This is so NOT TRUE ! The T25 that came with the MSP use a standard rectangle inlet flange and the outlet also uses a standard five bolts pattern. You can get a BB turbo from the Nissan SR20 and it'll bolt right up.

Just curious, yours is/ or has been apart?

You have a PM.
