Best fit turbo manifold for an EF/ED on a budget.
 
Opinions and experiences please. This will be a D powered 1991 STD hatch with a 60 trim T3. I would prefer to use an external gate.

I am thinking splog or mini ram.

The car will have traction bars before the turbo madness takes place, so a half rad is a possibility.

Yeah, that is kind of the plan. I am kind of asking opinions on what style to go with, and possibly some pros and cons to each one.

Log will be cheaper and spool quicker.

Standard log as opposed to a splog, or as opposed to a mini ram?

I seen the word BUDGET and CDM pops into mind :-\ Under $100

But I would rather go with something better like what the other guys said :) If I had $$$

This is my Ef project

I payed only $60 for my mani used from a local, If I had money to spare I would get something from Eville140

You do make a good point sir.

Kind of wanted it to be a little nicer, but money doesn't really allow for that right now. Who knows. Maybe I will try out the old HF combo just to get my feet wet. I kind of wanted to do it all at once.

I've been at Randy's shop and seen his work. PERFECTIONIST. Awesome guy, Awesome prices, and Awesome manifolds. He did widebody's manifold and even Dave Blundell was in Awww. It might be a little more then you want to spend but I can promise you wouldn't be dissappointed and he stands behind his work. He's got a killer Yoda that he's done alot of work on himself for fabrication and welding. I'd say he'd hook you up with anything on the cheap. Hit him up and see what he has to offer.

Hmmm. The CDM manifold does look to fit into the ED bay quite nicely. I hate the wastegate port placement, but this may be the route I take since money is the biggest deciding factor.

Holy ----!

Good finds. Thanks for the heads up.

I'll probably go with the cast one.
