i was wanting to get everyones opinion. just trying to see what can be improved on or what would people like to see made. What Jake and I are working on is a full kit. Not the BS thats out there now. This consist of manifold, downpipe, IC system, battery tray, and intake pipe. full 3" exhaust is to come as well.

Everyone can check out Jakes thread for some of the new pics.

everyones opinion please

 

Well as demon pointed out the j pipe is going to be a slight modification. Or maybe use a soft pipe from the evolution 10 since they are longer.

I mean I like the idea of the issue is these kits are too old right now. There really is no one turboing the lancer anymore. It may not just be worth your time anymore. Unless you do one off kits.

The manifolds look great though and I like the idea of a 3 inch downpipe.

 

The manifold is rock solid but of course with the manifold moving a little everything else gets involved. A j-pipe and downpipe are still being looked into. Chase hasn't gotten that far yet. His lancer gets him to and from work so it can't be down too long. I believe he is going to see if the evo down pipe can be modified to fit first then go from there. The manifold alone is like 25 pounds. It definitely is good to go.

 

Everything for this kit will end up being made before we are done . Jake and i have put alot of time and effort in to this and it will be worth it in the end. It not a $4k kit, its not over priced. This manifold wont break.. Its quality...I mean at least Jake will have a one off kit.

 

If u want to see most recent work check out jakes build

 

Actually do Road Race Motor Sports and Speed Corps yes they do offer the Turbomanifold witht the flange that fits the engine exhaust ports flange of the 4G94, because is not the same as the EVO's. I also had see some custom made but they are a lot expensive $$$.

So, you can always buy the 4G94 engine exhaust ports flange or remove one from an aftermarket header, and buy some custom steel manifold tubes in order to weld all together, or you can go with the flange and the T3 or any other turbine flange to a machine shop and ask they to build the turbomanifold for you. You can always use turbine flange adapters if you want to use a T25 manifold but with a T3 turbine etc.

Here is a picture of the Turbo Manifold I bough for Talon Eclipse:





But of course that that big flange, doesn't fit the 4G94 exhaust flange, but not even that this biggest beast, will not fit in the space between the engine and the radiator, so, I removed the radiator second fan, but still the T3T04E doesn't fit in the space, so then I spent another $150.00 to cut this flange from the Turbomanifold and to weld the 4G94 flange, and also to cut off and reweld the T3 flange as well as the runner lenghts to make the turbomanifold smaller, the result:



Finally, the T3T04E fits between the engine block and the radiator panel:





And I am very happy with this custom Turbomanifold, it works great.

There is always the oportunity to make things possible, but of course it will cost a little more and will require more work and effort. Thanks.

 

Oh geez...

I'm sure he has it under control dude.

So that manifold was for a talon huh?... Explains it all.

 

Yeah, and RS brought up a key point in jajajaja's thread that got closed down by staff for useless info...lol. Was that the runners don't reflect the correct 1 and 4...2 and 3 setup.

 

Please don't taint this thread. Your manifold is sloppy and will crack. Your runner number 3 looks like its pretty restrictive. Start your own build thread.... but with actual proof.

 

Just read through this thread...progress is looking good. I have a cast iron manifold at the moment, but may at some point look into doing a custom...I know as it is with my car being an automatic, I just might benefit from a custom setup...If I do though, I'll wanna do something more extreme since I'm running speed density and could get really creative with it. Gonna keep my eye on this and see how this fully develops

 

Chase can make a completely custom setup for you. Don't be afraid to PM him. Hes a cool guy and will answer any questions you have. He has a lot of great ideas but no time to work on all of them at once. The manifolds he make are built like tanks. Its definitely heavier than the current SC manifold. Actually, the thickness is a bit on par with a cast iron manifold. Its not flimsy piping. I'm still not sure but Justin with Speed Corps may be selling these? It was originally the idea. A good 4g94 manifold is hard to come by so he's here trying to fix that.

 

I can make any setup you want... I am working with jake on his 16g setup and i (for myself) am doing a Forward facing setup with a GT28r ball bearing vband housing... I offer any manifold for a turbo that you want... Intercooler setups as well.. Jake has been a good friend through all this and we have worked closely on everything.

i have not had time to load pics to my thread,,but all current pics are on Jakes.

P.S. the welds on that manifold above look like a$$...and a very poor mass produced design.IMO

 

LOL, I agree on that manifold above....Glad its not mine....I actually looked it up. Its a Megan for the 4g63T Eagle Talon that he hacked up to make it work for his. I bet he didn't even research it when he bought it. Probably had no clue at the time that it would line up to out cars without modding. And it took a lot away from exhaust flow. Way too cramped on a couple of those runners...lol.

Now on to mine, I currently have a cast iron mani which is holding up great. has a chrome heat shield to dress it up, but as I stated being SD now, I may be interested in something custom and more aggressive looking of course. To be honest, it may not be til after the new year before I come calling to you to see about making one. This is what my setup looks like as of today....

 

Not bad. I'm surprised your running a stock fan. I can't see if your running the other side.

 

The cast iron mani isn't nearly as deep as most everyone elses' setups. It actually has room to go ahead and leave it on. But I do have one on front as well. I was anticipating that I was going to have to remove mine, just ended up not having to quite yet. You can be honest though...lol The current Manifold could be spiced up a tad
