Hks Manifold

[R348]

Okay here is the thing, I've been searching ALL OVER the internet for the HKS MANIFOLD like the one that is used in John Shepherd's Talon and Brent Rau's Eclipse and I CANT SEE TO FIND ANY! Oh just now i found this, at Extreme motorsport's Catalog " this is the best since the cancellation of the HKS manifold ".

Okay so what the hell has happened to the manifold?! is it not produced anymore?! I WANT IT SO BAD! Shieeett!

If anyone knows where i can get one pls let me now ASAP! THANK YOU!!

You can get a Turbonetics Manifold that is a copy of HKS. I got mine from hahn with my S16G, works awesome.

One reason the HKS manifold is loved.... is because it was a very high quality cast. They used very good metal in their design, unfortunately no aftermarket cast manifold for DSMs has done so since.

Just another reason I got rid of my turbonetics manifold and got a SFP.

AGP Just came out with a cast manifold for T4's.

A friend of mine just purchased an HKS manifold for his project. Based on his experience looking for one, pricing them, and finally finding buying one, you won't be able to touch a used one for under $1K.

This is the new cast manifold that is offered by several vendors:

yes i've seen that manifold before but its true right..that hks manifold is still the best.. but why did they stop producing it. Sorry, i dont know much since I'm from Malaysia. But maybe HKS can make a custom manifold just like the one they stopped produce??

The HKS manifold is history. I seriously doubt that HKs will ever make them again. They do strange things such as discontinuing the VPC.. which had to be one of the all time best selling electronic gizmos ever.

Email HKS and ask them if they would make some more "pretty please!!!" Maybe they will have a soft spot... especially considering the DSM market is more prone to buy T4 turbos then ever. 85% of the people out there cant get their already too big "big" turbos to work so its time to step up to the real big-uns.

The new T4 manifold is ugly as sin (form and function) IMHO.

BAH!

The new mannifold is awesome! The damn thing should be indistructible.
If your going T4, why wouldnt you grab one of thesethings? Why does everyone want the HKS so bad? Gee, no less than $1K for a used manni????? Yeah, Im sure it would be worth it How much power increase do you really think the "majic" HKS is gonna give you over this new one? Not worth it to me.

LMFAO! Damn you hit the nail on the head. Everyone needs the newest, biggest turbo. Gone are the days (except for a select few) of the 20G in the 11's and not being a streetable turbo. People do not want to, or just plain don't have the abilities to tune "properly". So they get these huge turbos to compensate for those discrepencies. ANd still have a hard time going 13's . O'well to each his own.

As for that new manny. I personally don't like the placement of the wastegate mounting point. Yes drawinf from the collector is better but having it underneath it. It also limits gate options.

HKS manifold had the WG in the same location.

Learn something new everyday.

I really didn't know that. I don't think I have ever actually seen one.

You don't need a T4, you'll shoot your eye out.

I also wanted a T4 a little while ago. I had the fuel and intercooling to make it work and I was building an engine. In the end it just wasn't feasable, even for me with years of experience and research, it was just too much. I could never afford the dyno time or fixing broken trannies and engines. Maybe you can...

Here's my manifold, and I don't have a big turbo either. But it works well with my S16G.
