"Allows the use of a 4" downpipe and full AC compatability. Obviously, very large turbos fit with this manifold, thats a T76"
Offers "wastegate priority design"

What do you guys think?

 

Looks nice but it looks like its not gonna flow that great, I'd rather use a full-race manifold

 

This is definately not a manifold for the faint of heart...lol....Looks awesome!

 

looks nice though

 

interesting....

 

Is it just me or does it look like the merge collector is just sort of stuck on the side of the tubing? Can you post some pics of the other side? I would be curious to see how fast this turbo would spool on the street, that is a lot of tube to fill.....

He had been making incredible manifolds for the honda boys for years, this manny will probably be just as good.

 

The exhaust gases have to make a sharp turn to enter the turbine housing. The path of least resistance is going to the wastegate. Not a very efficient setup.

 

Watch that radiator hose......

 

Interesting! Keep us posted!

 

My only other concern is the flow into the manifold from the exhaust, it does not seem very straight on, and a 90 degree turn into the manifold couldn't help the gasses movement... Exactly what marksae said, and mark sae are you in SAE?

I used to be involved with the Forumla SAE student project during my undergrad years. I'm no longer affiliated with SAE, but kept my s/n since then.

 

Ah gotcha, I just had my frosh-year SAE experience, its fun. Sorry for the O-T post...

Boost creep big time with the waste gate being after the inlet flange to the turbine. Also the hard 90 degree turn into the turbine housing can't be good for flow.

 

As much as i don't particularily like or care for LoveFab, the placement of the wastegate and turbo are sound. This is taken from indy car. My previous manifold from hytech exhaust was built from these principals, and even with what you guys would consider a huge turbo, I had great boost response, and top end from that setup. boost held rock solid also.
