subbin.

big up yashart.

I don't care about the coating, I can get that done, but if I had to choose I'd go with the polished ceramic semi-uniform design (I don't think you can make one mike the MAM Sleeper Ram Horn style due to the position of the turbo and the limited room under the hood.

Also I would request that the EGR fitting is located in the same area as the stock area so we don't have to lengthen wires and cut and slice and all that crap.

If you can make this a reality, I am in for sure, however some kind of proof that the item we are paying for exists, maybe a sign with the manifolds with your screen name and forum name on t?

jk

But I'm in.

^^ agreed. The manifold would be as uniform as possible. This is meant to be a drop in replacement, so it should work with any intercooler piping, as well as mount right up to the stock EGR. Once the prototype is in my hands, I will know these things for sure. As I get more information, I will let everyone know.... Thanks again for your input!

To make this a true 'bolt in' replacement for the OEM exhaust manifold, you'll have to make sure it has the twist to the turbo flange, the EGR nipple, and the O2 sensor tapped hole. Due to the asymmetrical design of the OEM (turbo manifold is off center from 4-cylinders), equal length runners will be much more difficult to fabricate than simple four-into-one.

Make the finish an option with price adders to help satisfy the masses varying tastes. Personally, I don't see the sense in coating stainless steel, and polishing stainless for something like this seems a waste since it will only 'blue' due to the hot exhaust temperature anyways.

Just be sure all welding is properly filled (no undercut) with full penetration. Stress relief may be necessary after welding to anneal the heat effect zone of all the welds.

I'd make it equal length and ceramic coated. You want it to fit and not discolor from the excessive heat.

Yeah if it fits with my Hiboost fmic... I'm def in.

yashart, any word on the fitment of the prototype? Keep us posted. (peep)

Nope, no word yet. Once it is in my hands, I will let you guys know. Trust me, I am just as anxious as you guys.

I plan on doing a before and after dyno to see what the gains are. My autometer gauges also allow me to datalog, so I can compare spool time, boost, etc.

Nice.(first)

Ah so The Hebrew speaks good words.

im excited like a little school girl (boobs2)...

 

[^tyrant^]

any idea when the prototype will be ready? i got a massive exhaust leak going right now. and im going to try to hold out long as i can in hopes this works out.

 

[69RMSP]

Just gonna bring this to the top

 

[forcedboost]

I vote for an external wastgate with a dump tube! has anybody done that with an msp yet?

 

[mspHtown]

are there any updates on this project?!

[yashart@work]

almost the one month mark should have more information for you guys very very soon

sweet...I need a better manifold for my furture plans

 

[kamon8404]

what would be a price range??
coz if you guys do something lke 400$, you'll blow the competence away

I am in agreement with that! Subbin for info and hopfully a good price.

 

[kamon8404]

Is this going to have the stock t25 flange? Any thought into a bung for an egt gauge sensor?
