Cast turbo manifold for the Ecotec
Friday, January 02, 2009 7:58 PM
This STR manifold from ebay



Anyone on here using this manifold? The reason I ask is that I have the welded manifold that used to be on ebay all the time, and every few months i have to take it off to weld a spot where it has cracked. This looks similar enough that i wouldnt need to fabricate a new downpipe or turbo flange. Any feedback???




Currently #4 in Ecotec Forced Induction horsepower ratings. 505.8 WHP 414WTQ!!!
Currently 3rd quickest Ecotec on the .org - 10.949 @ 131.50 MPH!!!

I could replicate yours in our infamous stainless steel manifolds... theres A LOT of them in circulation specially with cobalt guys, 0 to date reported to fail over the past 3 years.

Of the cast manifold? I will agree with you on that, making the exhaust gases change directions once boost level is achieved is a recipe for spikes.
