not bad. i made my 4" dp tonight and last night. im just gonna run an open dump for a little bit. Im hopping to make it to the strip on wed.

Ongaurd!!!!

Very true. but you try to get a impact into the junk yard lol

or take a C-clamp and clamp the flywheel to the aluminum dust shield and then losen the bolts.

You will be glad you Replaced your battery try while your engine is out. its alot easier. and repainting your engine bay at the same time. I painted my engine bay with the engine in the car but the manifolds off... ya wasnt fun. And on the beer note... What junior in HS doesnt know where to get beer???? regardless of his age!!!! lol. I would call him up and ask if he likes good beer and a cigar. Have your dad/mom get you a cas and a few good cigars

Ya you could spend 80 bucks on that OR you could take a piece of chain and put one bolt through the end and bolt it to a pressure plate bolt. and then a few links down put another bolt into the bellhousing. You could even do this with thick wire and wrap it around a few times

I compleatly agree with this. I have been looking at all the manifolds that have been posted so far and i think that this one would do the best for us. http://forums.hybridz.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=6673&d=1208626726 http://forums.hybridz.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=6672&d=1208626726 it gives us a nice tubular design and also gives an external waste gate. and stockish location

I understand all this and when he gave me that price i was a little worried also. I feel im far from having these made yet and I have alot of questions that i want to ask him and make sure we are getting a decent product. A decent product is more important than price i would believe with in reason. Ill keep ya updated when i get more info.

All right guys ive gottne one e-mail back from this guy and things look promising. Price will be under $200 bucks per his quote. but im not sure what style that would be i wrote him back and gave him some pictures of what would be best. He didnt say what it would be made out of either. I honestly think that a manifold that was like the one a few posts up would work well for this group buy to keep "most" of the people happy. it keeps every thing close to the stock location to satisfly the ac and not having to rework our exhausts to much or our intercooler piping. It also would probably be pretty easy to make which would keep costs down. Just give me some time to work things out with him to get this going, and then when i have some solid information on this i will update you. As right now nothing is set in stone so nothing can really be set. Ill keep ya all updated. later Jeff

that might do it..

I think you are partly doing it because. "YOU CAN" Ive seen his work and i must say its top of the line. It will look like it came from the factory when he is done..

lol This group buy shouldnt be a problem. considering we have like 18 people who are interested already. Sure its depending on price and design for a few but i think that all can be worked out. Still havent heard back from SSAC. ill let every one know what i find out. should i start another thread on what we are wanting in the manifold? Cause i havent gotten any input on that yet. Ill keep every one informed

LOL i had to check to see if it was mine or not. I pretty bad at it. Im really trying to get better though.

in megalog viewer pull up your battery voltage in one of the graphs. if it drops below 9v ever its resetting

whats your battery voltage? sounds like your ecu reset

AWSOME!!!!! im stoked ive been wondering what was going to happen Thanks a million

I agree but if you look at the manifolds they sell i would say that they make a decently well designed manifold.

very cool pic. but to me if you where sliding. wouldnt you be steering into it? your tires are pointing all the same through out the whole thing...

here is the t3/t4 flange may not be ideal but it might work. If we have to choose i would say go with a T3 i think more of us are using that flange http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-T3-T4-Turbo-Manifold-Inlet-Weld-Flange-1-2-Thick_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33742QQihZ024QQitemZ370043081004QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

All right i think we should convert this thread into more of what we want in this manifold. I am not all that experienced in the external waste gate so input on that will be needed. As far as the flange goes i think that the majority of the people are running the T3 flange. There is the posibility that maybe they have those T3/T4 flanges that i have seen on ebay. This would suffice both needs. Also would it be in our best interest to move the location of the turbo? like say an inch out or something so no spacers would be needed for any turbo? Alright lets get what we want in this manifold buttoned up so we can get it on the way.

Jeff Ive never done it but i think ill take a shot at it. I just e-mailed them and im waiting on a reply. i asked about price and asked him to walk me through the process more.

I dont go there either and thats why. This forum expects its members to search to find the information that is already been covered many times. If someone doesnt have enough desire to find the info he wants that he cant press the search button. Then why should we go out of our way to spoon feed him the answer. I have been noticing that its becoming more and more of a trend for people not to search. More and more posts are regarding to basic simple stuff that can be found in the archives rather easily. All right im done. My thing is simply "Help yourself"

So we should spoon feed every body simple little questions? If thats the case then why not just merge this site with zcar?

I have a feeling we would be on our own for the dp still. there is just so many of us using different turbos that it wouldnt work out.

SEARCH!!! its been covered many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many times..
