kool, u need to get it up and running soon.

Once my new IC piping is complete, Im going to shoot it out for PC, probably going mirror red even though it will be difficult to see except for the upper cold side lol

l8r,
PD

 

Hey I watch this thread alot lol Im going turbo by spring time and was wondering if anybody uses the turbo adapter plate from zzp?

 

lol no **** the stock manifold

 

I may use it starting out till funds are available

 

do it right or don't do it

 

james said it would be fine lol

 

never said it wouldn't be ok using the stock mani is shitty tho and ur only saving 600+- by keeping it

 

I know Im gonna buy one later on.. block build next spring lol

 

dude, a saab mani from zzp costs only 300 give or take the price of shipping. Don't puss out b/c you're too cheap. Next thing you're gonna say is that you're gonna slap on a ko4 b/c that's what a stock t/c uses.

 

Dont scrimp on the build just to save a few dollars here. We all know that manifold is shitty and wont get any decent numbers from it. The Saab mani is a good start, and there are soo many other badass manis on the list. Pick a nice one and let the rest fall into place.

PD

 

Yeah guy that used to do my tuning used the stock ic first, it was swapped out less than a week later LOL.

 

its just better if you keep an eye for an aftermarket manifold from now till then. even if its used. but if you dont see none of us here running that plate is for a reason. Am planning on getting the saab mani pretty soon so ill have my hahn for sale for a fair price if by then your interested and its a good start

 

will it work and be "fine"? yes. will it be efficient and produce decent numbers? doubtful. and you won't be saving too much money by doing that. cost of the plate and getting piping made to fit that location, only to later get a different setup. you'll be spending the same if not more than you would by getting a real manifold. the stock manifold can barely cool a 2.8" pulley setup. imagine it trying to cool a turbo...

 

I may have a mani for sale soon….

 

why are you getting rid of it??? the GMR was great!

 

i want a saab mani, or i may be going back to stock. may be trading the car in idk yet.

 

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell i happen to have a saab manifold. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand i happen to prefer the look of the gmr over it

 

I'll let you know if I decide to get rid of it. I'm redoing the entire setup if I keep my car. i want another 3076r and i need a new exhaust mani, blah blah stupid cobalt.

 

well if you do get rid of it let me know. its one of a kind and i'd rather have it back and trade you than have some random kid own it.

and i highly doubt its the exhaust manifold thats causing the leak. it never leaked on my car, not once. and after it was taken off it was never dropped, banged, abused, etc..

 

Sounds like another one bites the dust lol. Going back to stock and trading in? it wasnt but a few pages ago we were helping the install occur. On another note, your sig had me ROFL!

l8r,
PD

 

Lol. Ive thought about it anyway. I think im gonna drop the motor and try to fix the exhaust leak. Its rather annoying. But at the same time im rapidly approaching 90xxx miles. I dont want to put too mich of a strain on it since its getting some age on it. If i keep it ill tear it down and build it. Idk. Still thinking about it anyway. Lol.

Mark:
Ill def let you have dibs if i do get rid of it.

 

Btw, does anyone have a pic laying aroubd of their oil return on the pan? I have to redo mine and i need a better spot to run it to.

 

Just some homemade garbage...

 

Finally. Some Non-fail posted in this thread.

 

I could be wrong, but that looks like a hahn IM.


Which would make it not homemade. Jussayin.
