o right tbh I aint got a clue what it's from hot and cold side where about the right size for what I wanted , I bought it off eBay 2nd hand
my manifold is just one of them cheapy ones from eBay but I've modified it

Alright. Me and my friend are building 2 325 turbo. Ill be happy with 400BHp but he want go over 600 lol
I seen that cheap manifold on ebay but tbh I though is some kind of Chinese fake shit. What mod you done it to manifold? cheers

Good project. Loving the inlet manifold.
I'm buying all the parts now to do my own turbo. Hopefully I'll make 400hp. At the minute I'm only buying all the bits.
I have a cheap ebay manifold but I intend to brace it to stop the welds cracking.

how you planning on going for 600 engine wise ?? my new engine is going to be fully forged there's no point in going for that sort of hp on the rd it's unusable imo
400 is a good target I'm going to push for 500 easy
them manifolds arnt that bad either that it's make ya own or spend like 800 quid on some thing like a 666fab one
cheers max
its getting there what parts have you got so far ? it took me 2 years to build mine I'm so glad it's done time to get it bk out I think

he going for 600+ only to build show car more likely but still road legal. We already welded head water channels like you, got decompression plates, intercoolers, got injectors, he got turbo K28, a bit bigger then yours
now I need to find one for myself.

your gonna have to spend a little more money than that does he know whats involved to hit that sort of hp
you wont hit 600 on a standard engine either
wont need a decompression plate either
what size injectors you got too ?

no i didnt o ring it most people either do one or the other
thats what i did i put it on the rd with out the turbo altho it was still bolted on lol then just added the ecu last summer
So far only got a turbo manifold. Will be buying bits over the summer and doing over winter. Still unsure on what turbo to use.ross2009 wrote:cheers maxits getting there what parts have you got so far ? it took me 2 years to build mine I'm so glad it's done time to get it bk out I think
I'll be after some ARP headbolts soon too.

After reading posts by Gunni I'm aiming for 400hp. Which in an E30 will be plenty enough.
