Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum. I own my first z33 with a DE but i was always into z32s before until i needed another daily. Anyways..
I have a spare set of stock z32 turbos that i wanted to throw on my DE. Im having trouble finding a T25 turbo manifold without a wastage flange (internal wastegate turbo) other than JWT both those are like $1300 for a pair of damn manifolds. Any help of where i can get turbo manifolds would be great!

 

$1300 is a really good price for a set of brand new turbo manifolds! The JWT manifolds are also the only ones that fit your description, and possibly the only ones available at all.

I have a set of never used JWT manifolds I would let go for $1000 plus shipping.

 

GTM had turbo manifolds that were T25 and did not have a wastegate section. I have a set for a HR TT kit (as far as I know they bolt up just fine to DE's/HR's/VHR's), but I'm trying to sell them locally with GT2860RS turbo's.

 

I thought all GTM manifolds had the wastegate port and they just put a blockoff plate on the flange when they werent using it?

But those arent available anymore anyway. They updated them to allegedly fix their cracking issue but last I heard nobody can get them to ship product anymore (the company that took over GTM product after they closed).

 

GTM do have the wastegate port and they are all discontinued. I heard GTM manifold for all different cars are known to crack. They are still priced about the same as the jwt manifolds anyway.

Thanks for the offer but $1000 is still north of what i wanted to put in. I guess i have to start asking fabricators about stainless manifolds

 

Ill hold on to them for you

 

Custom stainless manifolds are ganna be some money my dood.

Your best bet is to find aftermarket production and have someone modify them. That will still be cheaper than having a fab start from scratch. And DO IT PROPERLY. Custom mani's are not a easy thing to make.

If it were me I'd probably find some manifolds and have them modded and have a gate flange built on. But that's just me.

 

This, I've successfully made my own turbo manifold from two manifolds before on a car that did not have ANY kits made for it, WITH a $90 welder.

Why not just cap the wastegate holes? or disable internal wastegates of turbos and run external ones.

 

My custom turbo manifolds cost $1800 (SFR, 321 stainless though, which is a $400 mark up). $1000 is a very good price for new JWT manifolds.

 

$1000 shipped!!!!

 

His best bet
being a professional fabricator I would laugh if you scoffed at $1000 off shelf manifolds. My manifolds are custom built... and my engine went in and out MANY times to verify fitment.

Phunk2 knows his ****. You would do well to listen lol. Still running his fuel rails I bought back in 2008 lol
