i have noticed that the 04-06 lancers have a problem with the turbo inlet on the 16gs not clearing the slave cylinder.. Thought the t3 might be a better fit..The speed corps manifold could be redesigned but it would require the down pipe from the evo to be modified even more.

would people be more interested in a t3, evo 8 16, or the evo 3 16g setups.
need feed back please.

or what performance products need the most work or what parts would people like to see made

 

The mirages also face the same problem of the slave cylinder in using the 16g turbo. If a T3 or 16g manifold is designed for lancer it will also fit a mirage as well.

 

another thing that i was wondering about is since the internal wastegate on the evo 8 turbo sits really close to the radiator (on the lancer), does anyone have an opinion on a 16g manifold designed with an external wastegate..I know roadrace makes one.

I mean the evo 8 style turbo manifold that would clear up issues with the internal wastegate coming so close to the radiator.

 

just use a turbo without a wastegate.. like a simple t3/to4e

 

then you need to add a waste gate flange, or v-band to the manifold, which also complicates the down pipe...as far as fabrication goes, it would be cheaper and easier to cut the turbo flange off the manifold, and weld it on a different angle...assuming of course there's room for it on the engine side...you can run an external waste gate with a mitsubishi turbo by blocking of the waste gate, locking the flapper arm in a closed position or welding it closed...no need to change turbos if you already have one.

Also note that the older TD05H mitsubishi turbos have the actuator closer to the engine, rather than the rad, if the compressor faces the driver side, for example, i made my own manifold for my Ralliart, and designed it so that with a 14b/16g my slave cylinder sit between the actuator and the compressor inlet, and the actuator sits smack in between the slave cylinder and front engine mount...

 

if the manifold is modified at all, the o2 housing or down pipe will have to be modified. The header that I am working with justin@speedcorps will most likely have an o2 housing with it, so u can still use the evo down pipe. The header will be for the 04-06 model lancers to clear the slave cylinder. Its also built with better material.

 

but demon is right you could just use a turbo without a wastegate. Thats why i was wondering about the T3 manifolds, but everyone seems to like the evo8 turbos.
Personally I like both. Both turbos have there pros and cons...so it just the question which does everyone prefer.

 

thats cuz there cheap and want to do there turbo setups on a small budget and then fight through endless issue after issue..

 

I'd be down for a t3 manifold with an external wastegate

 

T3 setups are so much easier to do. the turbo can set where ever you wanted too and the down pipe is made to fit that location. I just easier to fit that e816g, and alot more options for upgrades if you go that far

 

what yall think. No its not a T3 manifold.. Trying to up load more pics

 

ok here is more

 

Looks good man. So is this a manifold for the 04+ to get past the external slave issue then?

 

yes it does clear up the slave issue. doing downpipe, intake, ect... to make sure it all works well together. slow process but it clears all issues with the slave.

Its overkill but it has 1.5 inch runners

 

Quality has never = quick
