I believe the 40, 42r come with the tubular. But it is an option if you want to pay for it>

Our GT3065 turbo kit comes with our cast manifold manifold. I can custom build a header for the kit but then the kit price goes up to $3695.

The header is an option for ALL of our turbos. When we use the header we use a T3 exhaust flange instead of the FP housing we use on the cast manifold kits.

The 50 trims will be ready and will be an easy install.

David it seems with your RS that you have proven that tubular manifolds are for looks! If cast can get you 9's then im happy with my kit.

scorke, you question is confusing me. The header kits use a standard T3 Garrett turbine housing. Our cast manifold kits, like the one I run on my car, use the FP housing with the round inlet and wastegate port built in.

Sorry, what I meant to ask is do you use a regular T3 flanged merge on the manifolds you build/ are the cast ones shaped like that or do you think something could be gained by using a traditional T3 shape housing with say a 3 inch outlet instead of the FP housing with the gate right there and a regular T3 merge manifold. If not what makes you think the FP housing is optimal, it seems it has proven istelf quite a bit but do you think any gains could be made going to a larger type of merge or is that housing just the best one for that wheel?

The header kit uses a Vband 02 housing on both ends. So the kit either required you buying a downpipe from us OR you can weld the v band to your current downpipes and make it work. Our manifold kits will work with any downpipe I have seen.

Scorke, I am either retarded or you just made it even more confusing! haha

Let me try it. Our manifolds have nothing at all to do with a T3 anything. They have a round discharge on them to match the FP housing.

My car has run 9.97 at 142.32 on our FP housing/cast manifold kit. The car is a 100% legitimate street car that I drive every single day. We drove it to the track on BFG drag radials, ran 5 back to back 10.0's, a 9.97 and a 10.12. Then I hopped back in the car and drove back home. The door beams are in it, the air bags are in it, 6 good speakers are in it, a DVD/TV/CD player is in it, it has the stock gas tank in it, Factory brakes calipers with full sized Giro Disc rotors on it, stock radiator in it. Nothing has been cut off the car. All the glass is in it etc. Is it light, yes but it is light withough sacrificing anything. I have to make the claim to having the fastest legit GT35R equipped street car. The FP housing has an A/R of .70, which is larger than the typical .63 housing that most T3 housing turbos run.

We just had a conversation today at lunch about this upcoming year of racing. Daniel and Trent are both hot to run well into the 9's with their street cars. The discussion was "What's a street car." My answer is a complete car that you drive on the street, reliably, and THAT IS DRIVEN INTO THE TRACK AND RACED JUST LIKE YOU DRIVE IT. I don't want to sacrifice my safety or my families safety by cutting out door beams and removing air bags from the car. That's just my opinion.

I'm RH9 DD status by the way

Sorry for getting off course

David

Haha np david thank you for the clarification, you answered exactly what I asked, which appears to of been in an unclear manner, but yes I was unsure as to whether or not your manifold matched the FP housing. In the kits that run the cast mani does that have the round flange for the FP housing as well I am assuming?

Previously you stated that the o2, dump pipe would be 350 if I am not mistaken in order to bolt one up to a 3065 and have it work with a cast manifold?


Your far past RH9 DD status David...... youve got RH8 Not a DD status, Eclipse RHRace status haha your list is far broader than many can dream of


Thanks in advance,


Scorke

The kits that run the cast manifold ONLY use FP housings. We can bolt ANY GT30 to our cast manifold, ANY GT35R to our cast manifold.

The 67 Ptrim (GT37R) will not bolt to our cast manifold, it has to use a t3 turbine housing. We can make a header turbo kit for the GT30 and GT35r kits too, they will all use a T3 housing then.
