StraightSpec-V · 2008-08-22 00:17:48

Hey there i was just wondering if anyone has purchased the SFP (South Florida Performance) Custom Turbo Manifold and if so is it a good buy or what...info would be gratfully helpful...starting turbo build

Red_Spec · 2008-08-22 00:22:26

probably will have to copy and paste it sorry

has kind of the same design as the one that eloy made for me a while back. Looks pretty decent, however you are going to need to make your own DP to fit it.

those welds are sloppy

blackout_V · 2008-08-22 03:36:08

i would agree.... nice shine though, but that wouldnt last but one RPM rev anyway..

elloys are the same.... seen way too many of his tuRDbo builds blow up

Red_Spec · 2008-08-22 15:56:32

do you know eloy? i know when he first started he had some issues but he got a new tig welder and all his recent work is amazing. You should see the welds on the manifold he did for me.

That's not a bad price for that manifold. And as far as having to have a new dp fabbed up, it looks like it places the turbo in relatively the same position as most other QR turbo manifolds.

Welllll, I don't know...now that I look at it closer, you probaly would have to fab up another dp if you were currently using the autoboost or treadstone mani...Looks like that thing would place your turbo awfully close to your radiator, ESPECIALLY if you were still running the oem puller fans...

id rather have a autoboost or treadstone for that price

05SpecVnBlack · 2008-08-24 18:38:53

On a plus note, it does look like it would make it a lil easier to get to your wastegate. That's the only complaint I have about my autoboost mani...

id rather make my own. 60$ manifold ftw.

i would like to see an equal length manifold.

I would stay away from that.

I don't like how this manifold would place your turbo. It almost seems like you would have to run slim fans or pusher fans with this manifold.

I wouldn't trust this manifold. I like my cast Steel Treadstone manifold much better... that shit WON'T crack. Cast = no welds to crack.

Manifold is one of the most important parts of your turbo build. The manifold will also get very, very hot and it will get heat-cycled a lot. Think going from 70F to 1500f in matter of minutes... Crappy material with shitty welds will not last long under those conditions

why? ive yet to see anyone taht needs one,

99% of the spec owners will never reach the point where a log manifold becomes the restriction

none the less, i too am building one lol.

Red_Spec · 2008-08-25 10:57:06

im making one because it looks cool, who cares about performance;)

i was thinking about doing a lower mounted setup but im not real sure yet. Im planning on doing a STS build at the same time so it all just depends on my measurements.

sweetspecv · 2008-08-29 19:13:11

make sure you share with some pics.
