? for anyone with a SBR Exhaust Mani.

[CanadianTSi]

Does the extra think flange on the Exhaust Manifold give enough clearance for a big Compressor housing to clear the water pipe??

I'm debating between this manifold or the Spacer from Hahn. Thanks

 

[aleccolin]

Yes, that's the reason for the extra thick flange, and the reason why I'm getting one to allow for painless upgrading in the future.

 

[CanadianTSi]

Yes I know that's the reason, but it's only 1/8th of an Inch thicker and I'm not sure that's gonna be enough...

 

[igopoopy]

how big is the hahn spacer

 

[CanadianTSi]

Half an Inch...

 

[yo2001]

With a bulls eye power turbine housing, no clearance problem even with the T04E cover.

 

[1fast97gsx]

I bought one from them and they said my turbo ( pte scm61 ) should clear just fine.

 

[1fast97gsx]

hahn spacer plates suck because then you also need longer studs and 2 gaskets ... looks too ghetto.

First off, I would just like to say the SBR manifold is the nicest manifold I ever seen in my life. I didnt even get it ported from them and it was already matched to the head/manifold gasket, which are big holes!

The flange is really thick, It only left me a little clearence for the bolts to actually fit on the studs. They all look like they're loose but they're not. I have the Bullseye-power to4b with no clearence issues at all.

Very nice piece of work though

Thanks, I appreciate your Input.

Just look down the page a little.

Another plus, straight from the mouth of Mike Huml, the thicker flange DOES NOT require longer manifold studs on SBR's cast manifold...

Nice I will be running a To4e cover also, looks like it gives it just enough room to clear.

And what did I tell you this morning^^^ ..

 

[danl]

A non ported SBR manifold is bigger than any ported 2g or evo manifold I've ever seen. They also CNC machine the gasket to the manifold for a perfect fit. I'm running a PTE 50 trim and it clears the TO4E cover just fine. Its not really even close to the water pipe. Unless you wanted to go external I can't see a reason to buy anything else.

 

[leland77]

is it true that they come already tapped for a egt?

 

[1993eclipseGS]

Mine actually did come tapped for an egt, With an allen wrench screw in the hole, While my frined's didnt. So i'm not sure.

 

[DSMSpyder99]

yea mine came tapped (you have to ask but its free), also for me the flange was SO think i had to modify the heat shield and take off the engine hoist.

Just what I wanted to hear, Looks like I'll be picking one up sometime before the spring.

 

[leland77]

yea mines on the way and, from what i hear i'm in for a great part. I'm stoked

 

[fp-green-95tsi]

I also have the manifold, however the install didn't go to easy for me. Im running a fp3055 which has the 4 bolt flange for the tial 40mm gate. The #1 runner of the manifold hangs below the turbo to manifold flange unlike the ported 2g one i was running. With it hanging lower the manifold hit the wastgate. I had to get a spacer made from stainless so it would clear. Not a big deal, and Mike Huml was very good about it and offered to do an exchange. The manifold as stated before is very nice.

 

[definitiveno]

just looking at the pictures it's hard to belive it is cast. Looks like it was cut out with a laser.

 

[danl]

Their are portions of it that are CNC'ed.
