Default My new Turbo Manifold (TopMount)

I've been working on a new turbo manifold to help me out with some flow issues that i had this past year, decided to build my own topmount manifold & see how it went. I've got it all tacked together, i just need to weld it all up. Heres some pix for everyone.









lemme knwo what u think, this is my first manifold ever.

That's awesome. Your intake will be so much easier to deal with... with the turbo situated like that. You may want to top it off with a heat shield. No pun intended. But for the sake of your paint...

... and whose motor is that? Is that just for fit? I don't recognize any of those colors or that valve cover?

Looks a lot better than just the flange you had when I was there Can't wait to see it mounted on your motor. I'm guessing more polishing will be had in the near future.

i'm going to ceramic coat the mani / turbo / downpipe, that should take care of the heat situation.

As far as the motor... :rick:

It's my buddy's, i built him an all forged b18 so he can keep up with us in the spring! h:
