My SRT-4 log exhaust manifold cracked

Dean he's talking about at the head on the ATP manifold. Not the divided ports for a divided scroll turbo.

Ok yeah that's good too :-)

Waste gate points about the same way a stock down pipe would point

Thanks, Dean!

I know you've been busy with the Daytona, but do you happen to have an idea about firewall clearance your Rampage with the is steup?

Sorry Mike I have the engine out. But compared to my old set up with the minivan manifold there should be tons of room in an L body.

Cool thank you!

I bought the AGP twin scroll manifold. I'm 1/4 of the way there (manifold, turbo, external wastegate, incidentals to make it work). I'm debating on getting the Delta 46 or the Zeta 2.8 duel ball bearing turbo. When I bought the manifold I was asking the guy behind the counter about both those turbos. He went in the office to get information and the person he was asking asked, "What's this going on." He replied, "An SRT-4 in a mini-van." Then I heard, "A MINI-VAN! I've got to talk to this guy!" I chatted with a fellow named Ben for about about 45 minutes. Really cool guy. I look forward to doing more business with them.











Plenty of room for the external wastegate.

I like the look of that piece!
Wonder if it would fit using on a pt.

[A.J.]

I can tell you it clears the PT intake when bolting up a T-3 turbo. And since the PT is based on the Neon you would think it does. When i get the rest of my parts from AGP, if I can remember I'll ask them.

13 sec Minivan my azz,

I never get tired of that,

I never get tired of that,

Me neither. When I run into such encounters I like to share them because I'm sure others enjoy it also.

[contraption22]

Awesome. Keep the updates coming!

Yep,

I just got a price from Jet Hot to coat my manifold inside and out with their 2500* coating. $315 not including shipping. I already got my combustion chambers, valves, piston tops, and exhaust runners in the head done when I put the engine together.

These guys do great work and so far, I haven't been able to kill the coating,

I got my manifold back from Jet-Hot today. They didn't coat the inside like I asked them to. I asked on the phone when ordering and was reassured in an e-mail that the inside WOULD be coated. This is the second order out of four Jet-Hot screwed up for me. I so want to move forward on this build and don't want to wait another two weeks to start assembling and fabricating. I'm seriously considering saying "F it" and putting it on the way it is. I already sent an e-mail but I'm going to call tomorrow to see what they're going to do about it. I'm so pissed.

[wheming]

That sucks.
I hate it when you agree on one thing and then the business you are patronizing does another.

[A.J.]

I talked to them today. They don't do the inside of turbo manifolds because if the stuff flakes off it could take out the turbo. If that's the case, then why didn't the salesman explain this when I ordered inside and out. If the salesman forgot to ask then why didn't I get a phone call explaining this after they realized it was a turbo manifold. If this stuff flakes off then why did they do my piston tops, combustion chambers, valves, and exhaust runners? "That wasn't a turbo engine" I was told. I replied, "It's the same damn engine the manifold is going on." So in the end, since I was quoted $315 for inside and out and only half the job was done they are refunding half my money. A lot of hassle could have been avoided if they just communicated with me (like I do with my customers when things don't make sense or I have questions) instead of doing just half and sending it back like I wouldn't notice.
