Single Turbo Exhaust Manifolds

Yeh it would fit just fine. Remember our car has no inner gaurds. I could afford to have the header pipes longer than that still.

But Carl is one of the RB20 brotherhood who is ringing the RB20s neck in the US, so i think he was referring to his Silvia beign LHD

You cant really tell what the manifolds are made of as it looks to have a coatting of some kind...could be mild steel or stainless steel pipe. Things is it pipe , not tube ...so bigger, heavier, but probably more durable

Could well have been my one?

Or the one from Rons old car which went to SYD

Could well have been, from memory it was back in the early 90's, a red GTSR.

Funny how I still remember that manifold, I think we wanted to fit one similar to the Starion we have.

is heat loss from the spaghetti manifolds a problem?

i've been told that can be a problem

Not mine then

Sounds like the muppet Fred Bruno who turned a Aus Spec GTS II into a mock-up (4-door) GTS-R and claimed all these big and wonderful things (which were

Horrid car lol.

Speaking of all the talk about GTS-R manifolds, im making enquires now to have it copied through some avenues.

Will advise on the possibilty of this endeavour late next week provided cost is reasonable. Anyone care to throw a figure out there for what they would prepare to pay for a proper job, not some e-bay hock

We would consider one around $500 but it want to be good and a low mount with clearance for a bigger comp cover than standard.

I use to work at a specialist welding company, and we used a compnay that did awesone one piece Mandrel bending. Had the ability to do quite complex shapes...asll out of one piece. When i had my R31 i looked at getting them to make me some manifolds similar to the RB20DET-R manifold....the 6 lenghts of bent up tube to make the manifold out of the correct grade of stainless was about $900

The to get the flanges laser cut etc...it gets cheaper with volume...but its pricey.

To make one up out of welded sections would be a lot cheaper, but typicall if a tubular manifold cracks it cracks at the welded joint...

$500 ?

geebus... you only find that on e-bay

Funny you say that Ash as after I made my power figure the tuner put it down to my manifold being a "freak" and suggested the tuning characteristics of it are perfect for gas speed to spool a turbine urgently and keep the gasses flowing high in the rpm range as you well know from your previous setup which was no slouch at all.

He was planning to price up replicas upon my next service but as you mentioned I doubt $500 would cover a decent job. Dont hold out Ash on getting prices as I would love love an external gate version but would not dare hack up my one. The external version posted earlier looks good to me.
