Manifold

[Pat026]

can anyone identify this manifold currently have a pacesetter on my 1g I’m looking to trash I figured I’d go to this this till I could afford an fp manifold and if anyone knows what the flange is for do not have one on my current manifold. Thanks

Looks similar to the FP manifold, the flange is for a external two bolt wastegate.

 

[Pat026]

It looks cast I can’t tell to be honest I have no idea what brand, I can close the flange right if I’m using an internal?

 

[motomattx]

Yeah, you can close it off.

Stock 2G manifold that someone welded an external gate flange to. I'd just sell this to someone looking for such a manifold and buy one that doesn't have the wastegate flange on it if you don't plan to use it.

Depending what turbo you're using, I highly recommend skipping the FP Race manifold and keeping something stockish. The FP manifold costs more spool than it will give you in horsepower in the sub-500hp range unless you're trying to set records on a track-only small-turbo car.

I may upgrade in the future but I have an 18g need to get rid of this crappy pacesetter

 

[JusMX141]

For an 18G you will never need more than what a ported 2G or Evo III manifold can do for you.

 

[Pat026]

I’ll take it to machining shop this weekend for porting thank you both for the help there was also a hole drilled on the manifold looks like it was tapped by cylinder 4, Thinkin maybe for a pyrometer.

 

[Pat026]

If I was to go external any suggestions?

 

[dexterholland04]

If you wanted to go external off of that manifold: You would need to weld the stock wastegate orifice shut in the turbine housing. That manifold is setup to run a TiAL F38 wastegate. You would need the wastegate, some metal gaskets, and a dump tube.

Also, put a pipe plug in the hole that was put in cylinder 4.

How bout a 20g Justin? I dont mean to get off topic but I do feel a slight loss in spool up. I have a 20g that you built for me (thank you very much Sir) and its a td05. Its not horrible but not what you would expect, so im wondering if its because my FP manifold?

 

[Pat026]

Cool thanks got some work ahead me

It is. Switch to an Evo III manifold or a 2G manifold with the collector ported to 60mm and the lazy response shall cease.

 

[Pat026]

I can’t use a pipe plug the hole is too small I only found 3/8 it’s smaller maybe metric maybe a bolt? If so what grade I know the manifold gets hot

 

[motomattx]

In that case I would just weld it shut, a bolt could melt and fall into the turbine.

 

[Pat026]

Good point, flux cored ok or should it be tig welded

 

[motomattx]

If you heat it up red hot first then flux core should work good enough.

 

[Pat026]

So torch and mig welder is adequate? Cool or pipe plug if I could find one galvanized steel? No bolt thanks
