Cast manifold! Which one??

[Bailey.]

Hey guys im trying too piece together a single kit. I certainly don't want more than 600hp so I'm going for a cast manifold. My question is which one, I will be looking at a t67 bb or that size range and a wastegate to match? Probably 50mm

 

So I want a t4 cast mani with a decent size outlet for wastegate??

 

Arnoutor turbonetics etc??

[Scott]

Arnout IMO. It's the one I will be going for anyway.

[Bailey.]

Where to source one and what wastegate flange do they have??

[Ricky49]

Stay away from OBX, one member on here had/has issues.

 

I only won't 600hp hehe I remember when I saaid that.

[Scott]

Can't check for you as I am in work but I googled it a while back and found them no bother. The flange was suitable for an HKS/Tial Wastegate IIRC.

I believe some people have used these manifolds.

I would never bother with a cast manifold setup, you will have to fabricate everything to fit, right pita and unless you can do it yourself it wont be a cheap way of doing things.

 

Id go with a whifbitz kit myself, ive seen a few of them and they look superb to me, no messing about getting stuff made and fabricated.

not quite true - I have cast maifold setup, nothing needed fabricating.

phr street kit? yeah that is a decent option for a moddest setup, its the only cast kit i can think of.

Bingo

I'm just mulling over it all, I don't reLly want, will use the whifbitz kit to it's full potential, I'm looking at piecing a kit together, I've already traced a 3 inch hks d/p and blitz mid pipe, and a 4 inch aem philter with pipe, also just been offered a coated tubular which has 50mm wastegate flange(big enough)???

 

It's just decision time on which route to take?!!!

[heckler]

the 3" downpipe probably not attach to the turbo if you use a cast manifold, as the turbo is parallel to the engine, whereas on a tubular manifold, its slightly rotated to the right.

Agh ok, good thinking, very true, would a 50 mm gate be big enough for this setup???

[JamieP]

Plenty big enough.

Seriously buy a kit rather than piecing it together. You'll probably regret it as when you're pulling bits and pieces together, some stuff won't fit and something will be forgotten.

 

PHR Stage 1 if you really want a cast setup, or alternatively, speak to Paul for one of his kits on a quicker turn around.

[AlanM]

Or you could just buy this

Grrrrrr what to do!!!!!!!!

[Stonkin]

I would listen to the people who have been there and done this mate

[Nic]

Grrrrrr what to do!!!!!!!!

 

I would contact PHR ask them for the price of their Street Kit without the turbo, then source your own turbo.

[CanisLupus]

Out of interest how many HP can you expect with a Cast Manifold?

Mine made 550 with a T61....

[CanisLupus]

Would this be the max or is there more possible?

[johnny g]

You're at the upper end there, hence why PHR go to a tubular with the bigger kits.
