JelmerPatrol Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I didn't get any reactions in the S130 section so Ill try it here too: I bought a euro turbo manifold from Frank280zx. It has 1 of the couplers cracked. Frank said the coupler from a Mercedes 230 or someting would fit but he wasn't sure wich one. Anyone who knows this?

JelmerPatrol Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Coudn't find anything on JeffP's website but found something you wrote Tony, back in 2006 about the couplers They appear to be from an MB 420SEL http://www.ebay.ca/itm/121914399764?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 JeffP's page is a bit disjointed he puts the stuff on several pages -- Page 6 & 11.... I thought for sure he noted it since Frank280ZX had pointed us in the right direction and JeffP found examples in the junk yard and then ordered them new from Mercedes in SoCal to install in his latest build. That is the manifold he is running now, modified for an external wastegate (see the story on that on Page 11 where he gets on me for my casual mentioning of manifold composition!) I know JeffP made a post about it, and gave the part number. I'm sure if you contacted him he could supply it... he ordered a buttload of them paranoid they would go away or something... http://www.angelfire.com/extreme/280zxt/page11.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 The bellows are one item, and the clamps are another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JelmerPatrol Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) I got the Mercedes bellow on the manifold! It is from a Mercedes 420 SEL V8 W126. I used the connecting tube from the 280zx because the Mercedes tube is longer. It fits perfect!

Tony D Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 So the ANSWER for those not wanting to click links and search was Mercedes-Benz Parts: If anyone needs to order these the part number is 1171420159 for the flexible pipe and 6039950565 for the clamp. I have ordere 2 pipes and 4 clamps, should have them by friday so we'll see how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skirkland1980 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Can the north American manifolds be modified for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JelmerPatrol Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Strange is that you can find the bellows for the 3.0l 6 cilinder diesels in EPC but not for the V8 which is the same part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Can the north American manifolds be modified for these? I would say no, it's quite a bit different if you look at it closely (JeffP's page...) Similar but different... We tried getting prototype casting places to quote a Stainless Steel cast replica... you don't want to even know the prices they asked!

Xnke Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 That's strange, Tony...I have investment castings done in stainless and carbon steel in a US foundry for not terrible money. PM me and we'll see what can be done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
