JSM Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Anyone having any interest in leading a project like this? I just don't have the time. ------------------------------------------------------------ Hey Jeff, Yeah , we can do one, but we need a STOCK cast manifold or a sample of a broken , or cracked manifold to make a jig out of. We would also want someone to help make it so it would have good appeal to the masses. What we do in cases like this - if you want to do something like this is (2) fold. A) We get the part made, and you test fit it, make sure it is correct with no issues. you can organize a group buy on your forum, and we can drop ship to your customers C) we can create an Alias name - so you can have the item tagged with a " D.B.A " name. This usually takes about 6 months from start to finish, but it can be rewarding for both parties. ((** as long as there is more than 20 people who want a manifold or manifold/dp combo ** ) Thanks Joe SSA CS SERVICE@SSAUTOCHROME.COM > Hello, > > In the old Datsun 2X0z (Nissan) world we are using the 2.8L > 280ZX turbo motors in our cars. > > Is there any plans to make a turbo header for this older > motor?

jeffer949 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Did they say what the price would be around??? And i could possible do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I also know a guy that makes beautiful turbo manifolds for mustangs that is like 2 blocks from me. i could contact him and see if he would be interested in it also. Is there a source for stainless steel exhaust flanges???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007max Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I would be down for one in the future if the price isn't outrageous. I would rather use a manifold/downpipe combo than the stock manifold and have a custom downpipe made. Did they give you anything as far as a price estimate?

MJLamberson Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Id say I am interested, but thats all I can say, (budget reasons) so how much would this cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukaniuk Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I'm also interested, but I'd need at least a ballpark price range before I could commit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 You could use the MSA downpipe. $99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnoutZ Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Im interested in this turbo header if the price isnt too bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Once we get a price you can consider me in (assuming production would take at least a month before payment is needed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78280z Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I'm interested in the header and my wallet is interested in the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I'm interested in the header and my wallet is interested in the price. Ditto, Seems that their turbo headers for six cylinder vehicles range from 200$-350$ Somewhere in the middle seems like a good price, perhaps two manifolds could be made, one with a T3 flange and then one with a T04 flange?

jgkurz Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I'm in but I can't lead the Group Buy. I have an S30 but the header shouldn't be much if any different for a ZX version. Price is less of a concern than product quality. I would prefer not to use stainless steel but rather a thicker mild steel for reliability. This is probably a given but it must have a wastegate port. I use a 40/41mm but if it came with the more typical 38mm then I could change it myself. I also would like a T3 flange rather than a T4. I would prefer it look like these: Or maybe this one if I had to compromise: But not like these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 I need to someone to LEAD this project. I just don't have the time. I was not given a price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgary280ZT Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Atta boy jeffer, way to step up to the plate. I'm definitely interested in the buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I've never seen a T3/T4 flange, but I'd be game. It would be awesome for upgradeability. The wastegate flange isn't a big deal to have either, since you can always cap it off if you run internal, and allow the option later. Options are gooood.
