New Ebay 1JZ Turbo Manifold?

[partyboy25]

Was wondering if anyone has seen this manifold before http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e..._id=145769736666&ua=WXI7&itemid=160478680474$ , or if you might have it. It seems to be the cheapest I've seen. Almost seems like a mix of a standard tubular manifold and log type mixed just because of the way the runners meet up. What are your thoughts on it? Its either this or Turbo XS for me, as I need a monifold with a T3 flange, helps spool, and is pretty cheap :icon_bigg

i dont like it. It doesn't have a collector at the flange for all the cylinders so its going to create more back pressure

Looks kinda messy from what I've seen of "good" manifolds. Appears to go 3-2-1 into the turbo? To a certain extent, you'll get what you pay for when it comes to manifolds.

Not really, theres alot of ebay supra manifold that work really well( i have one)...I would love to see a hks manifold dynoed next to a ebay manifold...i bet the different won't be more than 10hp I'm guessing; however the cost will be hundreds more..

If you have the money to spend buy a name brand unit. If you don't have the money to spend, you don't really have any other option..

I do agree, im not sure if i like the manifold picture there either.

quality and fitment of the manifold would be my main concern..

I doubt numbers would be affected all the much, but perhaps they would in relation to turbulence etc.

i bought the standard t4 divided manifold and welded an undivided t3 flange on top. The only mod i did for the w/g to fit was shorten the tube about an inch and change to a tial 44 flange

I had to modify my wastegate tube also, had to push it out about 1/2 inch...this is in a 260z though..
