I was wondering the different kinds of turbo manifolds available for the ka24de and if they are SS or cast iron and which one is better... as far as long lasting and cracking goes .... and which ones are capable of holding more boost... and in your opinion which one is the best and also of the manifolds you list you might wanna list what kind of turbo will fit on it.

Then what are good turbos for the manifolds... how much psi they use... how much hp they can hold... how fast they boost up....

And to sum it up i wanna see what people would use to have a fast spooling turbo on a ka that will as well have good hp figures

the setup has to be one that can be daily driven.... you know thats how we all want it

 

here s a list of manifolds i came up with but i am not sure of which ones are good and what turbos they will support....
Turbonetics F-Max
ETD Racing
Rev-Hard
JGS Tools
IAP

 

Throw Greddy on the list... I'm sure you can buy the manifold from their KA24DE kit seperately...

 

ok comon... guys... we need some info on the manifolds... the jgs manifolds i heard come with 2 parts... in which you have to do cutting and welding... could a muffler shop do this... and if they do how much do they tend to charge to cut and weld... assuming they will do a good job how much is the cost to cut and weld... i m sure a lot of you get it done for free because ur friend owns a shop or watever but i just wanna get ur opinion

 

I wouldn't go with having some shop with a welding torch weld up a do-it-yourself turbo manifold LOL those things carry high pressure and hot gasses, and one weak point in the weld could mess things up.

What's wrong with buying a manifold that's bolt on in the first place? Is this another "do it on the cheap" thing?

 

well this guy said a lot of people go with the jgs manifold.... so i am just wondeirng how many people actually get that manifold and where they get it cut and welded....

and tubular steel or cast iron? i dont knwo which seems to be better

 

I am fairly new here, just used to troll alot, but there is also the AAI stainless steel turbo manifold.

AAI makes a KA24DE turbo kit.

 

someone post some links plz!
i've been thinkin about rebuilding my ka and getting out about 200 to the wheels naturally...then turbo'ing it from there...

 

If you wanna get 200 to the wheels NA, you're gonna need to up the compression, and well, turbos dont like that.

I was reading an old SCC mag and I saw a list like that... you get it from there? It's the issue with the butts of an Evo8 and a Porsche on the cover

 

yeah after i posted i thought about it and remembred reading something about lowering compression for a turbo swap on some car....what do you think is the most we can get to our wheels without changing the compression?
