Reinforce the SSAC mani, reliable or not?
 
I need to buy a turbo mani for my new B series engine, and i am thinking to buy a SSAC mani and send it to solder all the joints. My question is if that makes a SSAC manifold stronger and reliable? :8

You can actually get the cast manis (new on ebay, or decent name used ones) cheaper than the new ssac ones too. Grab one without a crack, and you should be fine.

made by the same company. You ever tig weld? Understand why it costs 250+ just to do a log



11 year old slave labor using poor grade materials make the manifold from hell. It also comes with a gangster lean has well

i have seen a couple people brace the ---- out of them and not have any problems, so if you wanna go that route then go for it. i have an ssac one im going to brace in the distant future when i finally finish my motor.

no weld penetration
material wrong gauge
warped flanges
junk flanges





etc etc




buy a cast or a hmt log and enjoy not having your turbo fall off

On another note, say both manis hold up fine; which will flow better? This 1 http://app.infopia.com/Shop/Control/...id/0/SFV/31982

or this one, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda...spagenameZWDVW

and why?

Ok, then, the ebay cast iron manifold are the best cheap option for poor people like me right?

Or anyone got a manifold can sell to me?
