downpipe for dummies

[xbgod]

Ok, from looking at pictures that have been posted. It looks as if FocusShift has the best solution for a exhaust manifold. His is cast, which means cheaper to produce, consistancy will be the same, because it's cast and price will be on target.

So I would say use that exhaust manifold use the Garrett 25 series turbo and if FocusShift still has his print from his fabricator on the down pipe your golden.

If not then someone will need to cowboy-up and collect all the parts then go to a fabricator and have a down pipe made and blue printed for further manufacturing.

The way I see it the kit should look like this:

FocusShift cast exhaust manifold
Garrett 25 series Turbo w/ built in waste gate
Stainless made down-pipe
Tial Q BOV (black)
HKS mini filter for more engine bay clearence
Mishimoto intercooler (black)
AEM/FIC
Precision 280-310cc injectors
Perrin or OBX fuel Rail (optional)
Walboro 255L fuel pump (optional)

2.5" polished aluminum piping for inter-cooler kit.
3" for filter side

This would be an ideal kit with room to grow, especially if you do the optional upgrades that I suggested.

And with proper tune would get you into the 180-200 hp range on stock internals. But don't push it past that...you will brake shit!

Aprox cost before install and without optional parts:
3,100.00

Also this is without cuplers or T-bolts or the piping so add another 300.00

3,400.00


that is assuming you can get the down pipe made for 375-400 dollars

This would be an absolute reliable kit with lots of fun for years to come.

I have no information regarding the downpipe because I bought my setup as a kit from Zage. I could potential run some measurements, But I feel like that's pointless unless you're running the same manifold and, most likely, turbo.

Sleey0, I still don't understand why you're so against the Zage kit lol. It would actually be cheaper than what XBG is suggesting, but of course the quality may not be as good. I would imagine it would be a hell of a lot easier to just order a kit and throw it on rather than worrying about piecing it together. You could always upgrade later on too. Up to you though, and whatever you choose, I'm cheerin you on bro.

The Zage kit isn't that bad. For what you want I think it's ideal. If you want room to grow or just want something thats a little better than go with what I put.

Here's a pic of that Zage manifold. You can buy it for 340.00AUD

Great starting point and use can use that garrett turbo.
