M20 Turbo Manifold Question

[AbsorbantNut]

Think of what engine this came off of lol. Flows the worst for his goals.

I only saw that his goal was a turbo set up lol. For the price it's hard to beat.

ok, the neverending question :D

which manifold design is ''better''. I know that these e-bay manifolds is crap, they crack, also that they will not fit bolt on, etc.
which of these manifolds will clear oil filter and/or oil cooler lines?
and which manifold have better turbo locating, so I can easier get to spark plugs etc, I understand that it depends on turbo size, but yeah.

this


or this (I belive this manifold have better tube lenght, closer to all similar)


edit: ok, this won't clear oil filter+oil cooling lines, but how about euro engine brackets (aluminum ones)

[LowR3V'in]

I can say that top one is a freaking joke..
Second one is good. You need to rotate the filter to clear the lines because it's
a tight fit but they clear.

Use good bracing on the turbo flange because it will crack.

were do most people add a wastegaste port on the 2nd turbo manifold. anyone have any pics

I havent cracked mine... yet.

Look up kamotors m20 stuff, there should be pictures on their of where he added a wastegate provision.

[DirtyMaxTJ]

Can you post a link to that second manifold?

[LowR3V'in]

The crack was a hairline under the weld. You won't notice unless you inspect.

Split pulse and fairly decent size ports. Remember the m21 boost 13psi stock. Many people boost 18psi on them in europe. There are quite a few m20 people making over 400whp on these manifolds with a Holset mated to them.

This is what I'm running, it's a manifold from the 2006 Dan Pinder manifold group buy, with an external WG provision added on and some extra weld around the flange. I feel like this is what the 1st gen CX racing manifolds are based on. I haven't had any fitment issues other than trying to make this fit with iX mount arms/strut towers.

The 2nd gen CXracing manifolds with the WG provision are probably easier to fit, but they look like shit in regards to the poor excuse for a collector, and attempt at equal length.

That's cool. Wish more people would take pics. Thanks

hey, is there some real difference in manifolds between those two sellers, or its the same product only price is different? :D

Both seems to be crap :tsk:

Yup. 1bar and 350whp seems to be common with the hx35 and td manifold.

ok ok :D

but in reality... is some diference there or not
I just don't want to buy overpriced manifold :D
