M20 turbo manifold

[dje30]

Hey guys
I'm looking for some advice on a turbo manifold
I have a home made one at the moment but I'm looking for something that is a bit nicer looking!
Anyone recommend a good rhd manifold?
Thanks
Dave

Toyosport on eBay do a nice looking! One but doesent fit very well lol it's only £117 but you have to drill all the holes out to 13mm and face the oil cooler pipes forwards and the gasket doesent fit lol if that's any help

Have seen these are they any good though has anyone got one and how have they found them once they have got them fitted , any cracking issues

Are those awful Toyosport ones the only style of off the shelf one that even remotely fits RHD cars, or?

[ross2009]

Yup only ones that are production made, tbf they ain't that bad I've ran 400bhp thro one and never had a problem

[StavFC]

What makes that one work over other ones then?

Purely the fact the turbo sits over cyl 1+2 rather than 2+3 like others, giving more room?

My only issue with the ToyoSport stuff is the design, and their pretty crappy build quality, means it's going to be more prone to cracking than some others I've seen, but they also have the turbo flange a little further back.

An expensive option would be a schmiedmann.com one they look mig welded but are stainless steel - I'm not saying its better but a new manifold to my knowledge

All the ones I see on their website are Chinese ones too.

I haven't looked but in a BM mag I bought last month there was an unpolished stainless one - I'll have a look for a link

better link

From a vague eye these look relatively good, has anyone got any reviews/personal experience??

Will the toyo manifolds on ebay fit right hand drive?

[Igotwood]

Try ppf sweden they do an m20 turbo manifold, and can custom make them to your spec of you email them, comes out just below £1000 for a t3 flange split pulse with external wastegate, or approach a good exhaust manufacturer

yes badly. not recommended, although they do flow 400bh.

If it's this style we're talking about :

they don't fit anything very well.
I just offered mine up today; it would fit on 4-6 OR 1-3 but was too short between 3 & 4 to fit both at the same time.
So I cut the flange between them - and the pieces moved together...
Wedged them apart a few mm and tried again, now 6-2 are OK but #1 won't play.
Cut the flange again. This time #1 runner moved up
Much bodging and wedging later, all is secure, but the oil filter needs to point forward and I'm not sure what to do with the oil cooler pipes. Given the extra heat going into the system I don't really want to delete the oil cooler, is there a solution?

point the oil filter backwards, over the engine mount, you can then get the oil cooler pipes on, good luck there shit manifolds haha:)
