Exhaust manifolds

[Doward]

Anyone have any info on the HKS Long Runner manifold developing cracks?

 

[suprahooked]

I have the hks longrunner and the gt4088 and i did have to make a turbo adapter ,check out my build thread . I have not completed my build yet but i am close to start up. Hope this helps. John:naughty:

Yeah, the 42 has a larger compressor housing than the 40. Tho aren't you running a 2JZ?

(aka the manifolds are different)

Compressor housings are like turbine housings... A 42 isnt going to have a larger housing than a 40, if they both have 70ar housings, they will have the same outside diameter... Its not the size of the turbo thats the problem, its the size of the compressor housing... Anything larger than a 60AR will need a spacer...

There is nothing wrong with a "ching chang chong" :rollseyes: Ebay mani... Its solid, the welds are relatively clean, and I havent seen any faulty manifolds yet, well, catostrophic failures anyway... With as many that are out there, they are producing a pretty good tract record...

42 is bigger physically.

Dow - I've ceramic coated 4-5 HKS long runners...none were cracked. It's a beefy manifold.

 

[Doward]

IJ's right - the GT42 is physically larger than the GT40.

jdub, appreciate the info. Reign - I have made no decisions yet on which way I'm going.... I'm thinking of selling off my exhaust related components, and starting fresh as far as the exhaust is concerned.

As far as the ebay mani goes, I've got a Canton billet block oil adapter - no worries about clearing the stock oil filter setup here!

So far mine is holding up fine.... sitting on the floor under my car, while I construct a spacer for my GT4088.

Brent: You'll need to brace it or it's going to crack on the floor

my GT 74 woulndt fit on a ssa without some reworking

Ive personally installed a t66 (TA51) on a ss auto chrome manifold. Of course there was a spacer, but it did fit.

 

[Reign_Maker]

they need to come out with an SSA 3RD GEN series with a higher set flange...

That'd be nice. A 1" rise over the previous versions should be fine and dandy

anyone attempt to install a pt 71 on a ssac manifold. I have the gt4088 on that mani and i have a spacer. and removing or installing the turbo or the drain fitting/hose sucks. if anyone is running a 71 on a ssac manifold pls post pics
