Custom manifolds?
 
Anyone know someone reputable or a company that makes good quality manifolds as I would like to use a gt series turbo when I get my impreza
cheers

Intake manifolds or exhaust manifolds?

jme-rst 01 December 2010 06:53 PM

Presumably exhaust manifold as that's what spools the turbo

m@t STImulation 01 December 2010 07:15 PM

u mean a twisted turbo set up?

jme-rst 01 December 2010 07:27 PM

the subaru engine is a lot different to my rs turbo I have just sold,basically I want to use a garrett gt series turbo on my future scooby and would like to know of anyone that can sort this for me,I'm thinking it will just be a different flange on the manifold to allow fitting?

A manifold like the one here but with a different flange to fit the turbo,maybe they could do it as I'm guessing they are made to order and not off the shelf

Have a look at Frayz's thread in projects;

All you need is an uppipe. The HKS conversion uses a GT series turbo. It wouldn't be difficult to modify an uppipe to a gt flange. You would also need to modify the turbo outlet. Again, you could just modify a downpipe with a V band outlet or similar.

Thanks very much a gt28rs "disco potato" it is for me then :)

An exhaust manifold won't give better spool it will actually make the car spool later.

Why not just buy a scoobyclinic turbo or a md321h,t or v which are cracking turbo's and are a direct fit...

m@t STImulation 01 December 2010 10:10 PM

i take its from his ford

jme-rst 01 December 2010 10:52 PM

Garett turbos are the best,scoobyclinic turbos use the internals of a garett turbo and look like some of the eBay jobbies.
there's no way I would of had a gt28 on a 1.6 It would have been a lag machine if I did,so it's not from my ford,I would of had a gt25 but I got rod of the car to get a better base to spend my money on.
St/st manifolds which are made correctly are proven to improve bhp and spool up so don't see how it would make it laggy??
