slownrusty Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Guys...in your opinion which is the better Turbo header? 1) The blue one is the SFP Manifold 2) The other is a classic old skool Greddy piece. Both are well designed and will be a huge improvement over stock but what are your thoughts? Thanks and regards - Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280ZForce Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I say #2, but that's just my opinion cuz I like GReddy products and I think it looks to be more tubular and closer to equal length than the SFP deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8dats Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 old school one it has a better wastegate placement. and the pipes dont intersect each other.something about pulses per tube thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartspank Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Sweet pics. Greddy one definately looks better. How about a dyno shootout to see which one performs better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetiemattZ Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I know the SFP manifold is for a left-hand drive US Z model cars, but what about the Greddy manifold? Is it only for right-hand drive Z model cars? That is what I would like to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a GReddy turbo manifold, it looks different than that 1 though and fiits on my US s30 just fine when it was made and used only in Japan years ago. This 1 does have different turbo placement than mine though. Mine is more dead on center of the manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91_4x4runner Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I vote #2 for closer to equal pipe length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetiemattZ Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Does anyone know how we could order the Greddy Manifold or if it's still being made today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 How much are you guys looking to spend? Ive got a freind that makes tubular manifolds out of 304 SS. he charges $575 for a 4 cylinder, so Id imagine a 6 would be right around the 750 mark. Here is what his manifold looks like. this is the picture off of his website and Ive seen thes in person, they are VERY well made and beautifully constructed.

naviathan Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I say go with the Greddy one, but they both look a little big. As we all know with turbos you want your header runs to be the smallest possible diameter without becoming restrictive so you have better velocity.

Brad-ManQ45 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 For street, I vote the SFP manifold - lower volume and looks like smaller runners too. If the Greddy runners WERE equal length, I' might give it the nod. If it were an all out drag car, I'd go w/the Greddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Well, anybody use the SFP unit that didn't have major reqork required to make it stay on the head without warping? Given my experience with JDM Greddy stuff, I'd go that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240zwannabe Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 according to maximum boost by corkey bell the old rustic looking one is far more superior for one, the reason stated before, wastegate placement. and for two, each cylinder has it's own tube until the collector. the newer, darker colored header will build up much more heat due to the way cylinders 1,2,4 all collect into the same tube before the collector.
