can anyone using a t78 tell me what manifold their using also did you have uim clearance problems or anyother problems with it? thankyou.

 

its a stainless steal tubular style manifold. It's pretty impressive if I may say so myself. does anyone have a picture of it?

 

The "new" T78 manifolds are fully divided and do have clearance issues with the EGR port on the lower intake manifold on 93-94 cars. 95's had no EGR and therefore do not have clearance issues. From what I've heard, most just "bang" the downpipe a bit to clear the EGR hump. I have the "older" T78 manifold which is NOT fully divided. Anyone want to sell me a fully divided T78 manifold? :-)

 

ok,thanks but what make should i get,greddy,hks or any other?

 

Depends on what turbo you're going to go with...if I had to do it all over again, I'd either do a custom kit OR get an HKS manifold set up for V-band isntead of flange/bolt/gasket. Vband is worth it's weight in gold (and skinned knuckles).

 

I've got an OBX, the one off ebay. So far so good

 

the manifold on the greedy/ hks share an inferior
SS03 or was it 01, anyway the manifolds are decent but they can and have cracked...

RPS makes an excellent manifold truely a work of art, and helluva alot stronger...

 

rps? do you have a link?

give them a call or email and see if they can make one for the FD... good luck

 

RPS doesn't make a manifold for the RX7. South Florida Performance apparently makes a nice one. Again, pick your turbo first and go from there. If you pick an HKS T04Z, a GReddy manifold will do you no good. You might want to check with www.innovativeturbo.com as well.

Any of the "big name" designs are ok. I've not had any problems with cracking on mine but others may have.

The OBX is very brittle from what I hear and does crack quite easily.

 

i have a t78 divided flange i need to know something else too.i see some single turbo pics that hav the turbo sittin more towards the front of the car and some hav it sittin further back closer to the lim.i can't see the turbo sittin so close to the lim.doing the inlet charge much good but it seems the off the shelf manifolds leave the turbo v.close to the lim.are the manifolds that sit the turbo further out custom jobs or are they available off the shelf? i've only seen the short types that put the turbo shouldered against the lim. the turbo looks the dogs bollocks sittin out really makes it stand out too.anyone using this manifold please throw some info.this way thankyou.
