proxlamus© Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 US turbo manifolds are easy to come by.. found on L28 turbo blocks from 1981-1983 EURO spec turbo manifolds are rare and have slip joints .. very cool stuff L24's and L26's have naturally aspirated exhuast manifolds.. and ofcourse NON turbo L28's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KunoZ Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 They are kind of common. You can usually find one on ebay no problem. As a matter of fact their is one on there now. They normally sell around a $100 (U.S. currency). Their is only one type I know of in the U.S. and it can bolt up to, as far as I know, any L series engine. It can be found on the 280ZX turbo models 81-83 or L28ET engines. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt I found one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=250069629077&rd=1,1 The only problem is the cost of freight, I spoke with the guy, and he said it would cost US $108 via air mail, he said he would not send it surface mail, his reason is that it take 6 month to get to Australia, So this make sourcing one a lot harder, I might try NewZealand.

Tony D Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Look for an L20ET manifold from a Cedric, Gloria, Leopard, or any other JDM 2-Liter L-Turbo Car from the mid 80's. The L20ET manifold is functionally identical to the L28ET manifold sold in the US Markets. You should have no problems finding one of those locally. Failing that, I can ship something to you surface, but like the seller said...it will take forever. Australia Post is horrendous! Even for regular first-class mail.

jeffp Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 What about UPS of FEDEX to name a few. Seems like to me that if you have to wait that long on the mail and still pay through the nose, then go with a better shipper. I don't think that would be to difficult to do. My company ships world wide, and even with the terrorist thing going on we still have a little control over how fast it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 How much would it cost to fab up a L24 manifold? Tubular VS. Log style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
