o, that makes a lot more sense.yea i figured i got the manifold for 100 bucks, and say it cost another 100 to get a wastegate flange welded to it, itll still be cheaper than paying 400 plus for a custom manifold. one day i will get a nice maniflold but right now this will work lol
-
yea, that works. be prepared for it to crack though. cast manifolds like to do that.

i feel ya on that, im in the same boat. only difference is my race season starts like....3 months earlier than it does there.
-
cast iron only crack because it is 20 yrs old and has had hundreds and hundreds of heat cycles.
and SS crack because people can't weld for shit. haha
oh and i don't think a stock manifold will make alot of power, unless you have some way of making it flow, without being a huge restriction. and cuasing massive back pressure.?

it should be fine, and your right there is a guy that is using a 20 year old cast manifold and running 12's weekly during racing season. so im not really worried.

what? im not made out of money man. im working with what i got. it may not be the most "efficent" but it will work for now. im not goin for no super car here. just something for fun.

see i was hoping you knew what you were doing, and would acually give me some feedback to the question i posed on getting the manifold set up to work well.
if you didn't know i make manifolds for a living, so this stuff interests me.

oh really? well i might have to talk to you when the time comes for an actual manifold. you dont even want to know how ghetto rigged this manifold is going to be. you will probably laugh. its actually probably the wost set up i could have on my car being the gtx manifold is crap. definatly not efficent at all lol. just cheap
-
yes i cringe at those types of set up's, but then again i was in your shoes before i learned to weld.
i had a turbo probe that was "sweet" so i know about cheep turbo cars, the last owner dubed it the ford ferrari for good reason, lol

i can weld. just not cast. and im not the greatest. i work at a fab shop and there are a couple guys i know and trust to weld cast but they are just too busy. anyways heres where it gets worse lol, im using a t3 adapter plate somebody made up to bolt onto the maniflold. becasue well you should know its for a vj20, and im going to be using a 20g, and yeaa... lol its horrible i know
