Depends what size turbo it was made for and what size you will be using. Post a pic of the manifold looking straight down at it as if it was on the engine. This will allow us to guess where it will put the turbo.

people often buy an exhaust manifold flange from Racing Beat and use it as a spacer (need longer studs I think though).

thanks. the price of a 62-1 or 60-1 will vary depending what brand and if you want ball bearing. the garret or turbonetics non ball bearing will cost about $700 + or - $100. ball bearing any brand will run you atleast 1k. i got lucky and picked my ball bearing 62-1 for 900.

Looks like you two might have a fairly similar setup running 720/1600 with an e6k and 62-1.. you go that route your seven is gonna have some serious ***** Alex. Don't be scared to go high boost with your alky kit

the position of the t4 flange is about the same, it just angles up alittle. you should be fine with a tangent housing.

Sure you have, I suggest you keep your bullshit to yourself and sell yer buds product on merit. I haven't had one come back for warranty yet in six years. I have had people "think" they had a issue on two occasions, and found it to be something else. The only person I know to claim that he had any failure was, Tony (baddog). Though I never actually got to see it so who knows. AND FYI I told him it would be taken care of.

So if all these failures happened and they must all be in your neck of the woods for you to see them (even greater coincidence) how come no-one came to me for the free manifold or repair?

Very odd indeed.....

Better yet, why are all the actual serious track and club guys on this board running my manifolds, for SEASONS, without failure. How many others on here have manifolds with over 5yrs and 60k on them out on the streets as well?

How come those same track guys recommend me when their buddies get into the sport with their Rx7's?

Why is it other shop owners such as Rich and Ihor, or Rusty, or Ray, or Ralph, or Rob all recommend to their customers to buy my product all while running my product on their cars?

Why is it Ernie T's hasn't failed with all his dyno tuning and track time while holding up a 42R T6 with no bracing that you supposedly must have? What is he running 755whp@35psi? Or better yet Ralph's who not only puts out about the same whp but has put stupid miles on it daily as well running the same manifold.

Or the starlet I have here running anywhere from 32-50+psi for two seasons now.

Shall I keep on going??

hmmmm.......

You want to sell someone's product, sell it. Don't talk **** about others to do it.

Manifolds are the most proven, best backed, on this board. Let me know when you CAN actually make THAT statement and have the customers on here to back it up. Not kids with the possibly 400hp drive it when it runs right RX7's that may have 15k miles on it if lucky.

Also, so it is very clear. I have zero issues with elliot or his product at all,from what I can tell he makes good stuff, but you better be darn sure he is aware your starting **** with others on his behalf.


Don't bother to respond, I wont.

A hybrid is a turbo. A real turbo. A turbo that has been modified to have better performance (most the time). It is not a fake turbo, it is not special in any way, other than you can easily install it in the stock location, on the stock turbo manifold with all the stock water and oil lines. (also that you are not required to buy a wastegate) A hybrid turbo does not use magical pixy dust that don't allow meth or any other type of injection. You could use meth injection on a stock turbo, NA, or lawn mower...

What benefits are you speaking of? It sounds like you are really confused. Meth injection lets you run higher boost by suppressing knock and detonation. It also lowers your AIT. It wouldn't matter if you had a "real" single turbo, or a hybrid what so ever. Meth injection is normally AFTER the turbo in the intake, but even if you did it before why would you think that having a hybrid would net less benefit?

a hybrid turbo has some potential but its limited. its not good for your engine. u end up building a bottleneck at the exhaust housing. if you dont have the money then you have no choice but to stick with a hybrid. aftermarket turbo's obviously open up alot more potential.
