    love the manifolds !

    still prefer twin setup on a V engine though (even though it costs more)

    These manis in twin form would be awesome with T3 flanges..open up a whole new range of turbos . (unlike our sz90 kit with the cropped T3 turbine wheel stuffed in a t28 housing)


    how are you going to run the plumbing from the opposite side for a single setup?

    Going to modify the water lines to the heater and run it over the belhousing with a flex in the middle.

    so if you designed these manifolds for twin setup both turbos would come out with engine in?

    Don't see why not. Drivers side might be a bit harder but still doable

    I like yours better ,its more compact

    but these are have equal length runners

    these are for the hks 2835 (T3 exhaust)

    Very happy to see that someone is building tubular manifolds for Z32, what are your plans against manifold cracks under heat? Are these equal lenght or can you make equal lenght ones. I need to let someone to make me something like this, but definelty equal lenght ones, if possible then I would like to get them flow tested and compare with pentroof results.

    Chris why dont you make some of these manifolds and sell them? I mean if you can make up both L & R side manifolds for all TT owners. I am sure you would get a lot of numbers...especially if it would make changing turbos easier.

    I can make equal length ones like pictured above but I would make them a bit different. Its not hard just time consuming.

    Very very loose interpretation of "equal length".
    Thats just basically a "log" style manifold with a bit of a somewhat funky take on it.
    Was the easiest way for whoever to fabricate at the time IMO.

    Do you ever have anything positive to say? Your car better be doing 10's or competing in time attack or something!

    But he's right. They aren't what I would call a proper equal length manifold.

    Here are some:

    But really, doesn't matter a much for a turbo car.

    who did the welding on those dumps???? are these from a shop? possibly the worst weld job ive ever seen lol, ive got second year apprentices under me that can weld better than that lol, going to have a crack at building a set of tuned length manifolds for my Zed when i get a chance, most likely when i pull the plenum off to carry out some repairs, hoping there'll be enough room to tack everything in position, will suss out when it comes time

    they are made from stainless steel .

    Z1 have these for sale with 5000miles on them

    My guess is they have cracked and have been rewelded.
