Just want to hear your 2psi/2cents on this manifold. I'm in the market to get one for a JDM B18C typeR motor. Thanks.

You got any pics of the rest of that motor?

If I were building this super insane typr R motor, I would go for something a little more bling*bling. My next manifold will be a www.lovefab.com manifold. The Excalibur is the ----.

Off topic question, but in that picture, see how the oil line is threaded right into the oil inlet on the turbo.. how do you do this? do all turbos (more specifically, t3's) have this inlet already threaded?

id think wihtout some sort of reinforcing collector around where the tubes meet at the turbo flange that thing will crack right quick.

I see that too. I really cant see very well if there is any reinforcement. I want at least a bracket welded on that wastegate tube. Yeah I think it's an HKS wastegate. I cant really afford that ----. I emailed them to see if it comes with a standard Tial flange instead. I would do *bling bling* lovefab, but my fluidyne radiator extends all the way across the front frame of the car. Here's a pic:


This is why I have to get a manifold that will retain an A/C eventhough I have no A/C
