    ForcedFirebird's take on a 524td upgrade.

    Done for the night. Wanted to seal this up completely, but am exhausted. Long weekend, long day. Sometimes you have to put things away, being tired makes you less efficient...

        I am designing a bolt-in replacement upgrade for 524td turbo manifolds so one who has one won't have to change much on their turbo system to make more power.

        We have been picking at this design for a bit in spare time/eves etc and figured might be time to get some opinions.

        This will be a direct bolt-on replacement for a 524td manifold, only with better flow. Also planning on making another variation that will allow an HX35-sized turbo fit direct.

        They can be either dual or single scroll and plan on having the WG hang up side down for easy recirculation to down pipe, but could be left off and probably fit RHD e30's.

        Thoughts?

                        This is cool. How efficient will it be compared to the 524d?

                          Prototype is finished.











                          also welded a silencer on an expansion pipe for a 14hp GoPed.

                            I have enough materials to make at least 3 more. Have 3 locals running on TD manifolds that might be interested in upgrades and happen to have a spare Holset - might just try one out on my car hehe.
