hey guys
im goin to build up a tuff turbo motor and would like some aftermarket products as well.
was just looking some things on ebay and came across this turbo manifold
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/CALAIS-VL-RB3...QQcmdZViewItem (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/CALAIS-VL-RB30-SKYLINE-R31-HI-MOUNT-TURBO-MANIFOLD_W0QQitemZ320005408967QQihZ011QQcategoryZ43808QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
just curious, is MonstA a good brand? i cant remember if its this brand or that SSautochrome or sum**** that makes really bad manifolds.(cracks and ****).
any advice would be great, but basically im after a top mount stainless manifold...
cheers
Carl
mate i bought a monster tacho from monster and they were slow in sending it, failed to give me any feedback or followup emails. The product works, but was way more dodge than the description of pics led on
I got one.. BLOODY good.. had it glowing a fue times and still strong ass..
I love it, would get another anyday..
and this photo is the manifold, turbo snail and dump pipe glowing, even my wastegate was red..
But watch it.. There is 3 designs on there.. I have personly held one of the other ones.. you flick it and it rings like your mummas best china.. thin as all hell.. i dont know what one it was but the ones from monsta are good and alot of people here will agree with me..
Thats not a cheap turbo is it? one thing i wouldnt get..
were did you get that bag from? all the ones i have seen i cant warrent spending the price they are asking...
well from what i see, im gonna go for the manifold that has the little tag looking things attached to each pipe off the manifold and near the flange to help give more strength or support.
wat size wastegate do people suggest i use with this application?

yea the 3540 was pritty cheap.. sif i would buy china turbo.. pfft just coz i got a manifold dont mean i got a crap turbo
so these things are alright huh?
so hypothetically, cause ive got a manifold leak in mine and i have to take the manifold off anyway, say i got one of these, and put my t3 on it.. what else would i need to go along with it? do i need a different dump pipe? oil lines? water lines? do i need some kind of aftermarket wastegate? whats the go?
u dont need a gate but u need every thing else u said.. (lines dump ect..) not worth it for a stock turbo mate.. buy some $12 gasket goo and fix the leak
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
there is mine i had to get the waist gate pipe modified to suit the 50 mm gate i have.
its glowed red every time i use the car (it gets started, warmed up then thrashed) and ive had no issues with it.
going from a t04e low mount on 12 psi to this setup on 7 psi it had more power on 7 than before. with no changes to the engine at all
one thing i found was i didnt get send the bolts with it.. I emailed him and he said "Yes you did, i remember sending them." Then 2 lines later "you were not ment to get any bolts".
Its 4 bolts.. i wasnt worryed but when i went to get some more no one in town could match the tread.. I had to use a bolt and 2 nuts or i could have retaped thred.
