Kev.O Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Jay, sorry to bump this thread, but I have a few questions. I'm presuming the new HKS manifold is divided? How come you've gone with an un-divided exhaust housing? Also after reading Jamie's/Lee's report about the turbo not fitting his manifold have you any concerns regarding the fitment of your new billet turbo (I appreciate you don't have it yet)?

jevansio Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hey Kev bud , yes the manifold is divided, I had no option on the exhaust housing, undivided is the only option, it's supposed to be "OK" to run an undivided housing on a divided manifold although not ideal. After Whiffins comments (and looking at the HKS manifold design as opposed to the old SP manifold) I'm quietly confident the turbo will go on no issues, if it don't you guys will be the 1st to know , thinking about changing like bud?

JamieP Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I think you are right Jay, i reckon the turbo may go on the HKS manifold with no issues. Was looking at the twin wastegated full race manifold on the mvp website last night:cool: very tempted, if i have any trouble with my modded one i will be going that way.

Kev.O Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks for the reply Jay. I have a SP manifold and like your old one it's divided. My gasket has been eroded away and I'm just trying to work out what might have caused it. Is there much difference in the design of your manifold over Jamie's (not sure which that is)? I'm thinking about the new billet turbo's but ideally I'd like to make sure they last before fitting one. I ned to do more research if I do go down that road as I'm not that clued up on all the differences between the 6262 and 6265 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so, if you check the pics I took when I compared the HKS to my Sp manifold you can see how far down the HKS runners sweep, well out the way of the compressor housing. 2 screamers? !!!! that'll sound mighty fine :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ned to do more research if I do go down that road as I'm not that clued up on all the differences between the 6262 and 6265 Kev, do a search for HKS manifold in Techincal, I posted detailed pics of the SP vs HKS setup, will put a link in this post after I've typed it up. Edit here it is : http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=188037&highlight=manifold That's not a bad idea on the billets, although they're just a T67 you may be wise to see how the 1st few pan out before comitting. The 6262 vs 6265 was just a slightly rather turbine inducer/exducer I think (can't remember which), prolly equates to maybe an extra 20hp extra with slighly extra lag. It's the 6765 which is the next big jump up (basically a T67) Edit this pic clearly shows the massive clearance the HKS manifold can give on runners 1 & 2 Edited October 17, 2009 by jevansio (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Ahh I remember that thread now. There's nothing wrong with my SP yet, but gettting paranoid now What sort of price did you get the HKS manifold for Jay if you don't mind me asking? Also I wonder if I could be cheeky When the turbo arrives and presuming you still have the SP manifold, is there any chance of test fitting the billet turbo on the SP manifold please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Kev, it would be no problem at all to test fit it for you, I am sure Michel would be more than happy to test fit the manifold even if he had bolted a new turbo to it (he's kinda cool that way ) HKS manifold was around $1300 2nd hand but in perfect condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great price. I can always run my manifold up and 'pop in' and see you if that's ok with you, once the turbo turns up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike B Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I don't think its correct to say people who have Precision hosuings have no problems, I've bust 2 GT4088Rs and both have had Precision housings. I believe my probs are soley EGT related, and it's not possible for the hosuing to warp to the extent that would be required to cause that damage to the baldes the 4088r ran stupidly hot with whatever ar turbine housing i put on it (I had 3 precision) and as soon as it lunched itself I swapped to a t67 and remarkably the temps came down 150 - 200 degrees.. 4088r is a naughty turbo, with irresponsible parents! jay - getting the manifold off and on... I had to custom weld some 14mm spanners.. if you get stuck let me know and I'll drop them round!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
