KA-T Top Mount Turbo Help! w/ Pics

[PureRush]

Fixed the problem. Bought a new manifold

[shiftdrift]

that's a terribly designed manifold, grinding down the master cylinder is a bad idea for one. for two, you will overheat your fluid, go to stop, wreck and possibly die seeing how it will be resting on it....you can't even fit a heat shield there, i would see about getting another manifold (looks like a cheap one anyways)

yeah man ditch that jank mani and get something decent im sure a quality tubular mani will clock the turbo better for better clearance

[rcdad123]

seriously, that is a disaster waiting to happen. get another manifold.

[PureRush]

Yeah you guys are right. Any suggestions on a decent top mount manifold?

[shiftdrift]

Look at the jgy log manifold

[xGUNKX]

buy a new master
either reweld the flange or get new manifold

[e1_griego]

Look at the jgy log manifold

I think you mean JGS?

JGS does good ka-t stuff!

[shiftdrift]

Yeah. Phone correct for some reason? Jgs

[89JDM240sx]

Yessirr JGS manifold will solve your problem... Also invest in a pre bent heat shield to keep the BMC from failing....

DOC Race. Full race quality at half the price.

The JGS is kinda expensive for me right now. I'm just starting school so I don't have much money to buy a manifold like that at this moment. I was thinking of picking up the cx racing stainless steel top mount. Anyone have one of those?

the problem with the chinese manifolds is the flanges are usually off/not straight, causing leaks and lots of blown out gaskets. they're also thin/shitty metal and can crack/break. if you're on a budget, look into the mazworx diy log manifold. i can weld it for you, pm me if you're interested.

ya or get a cheaper manifold and have someone weld braces on it to prevent cracking or save up a lil and get a nicer manifold or get the one cut and rewelded
