Thread: GTIR Turbo Manifolds

Would you buy a product with a 50% failure rate?

You were saying that just because a company was based in China, it doesn't mean that they produce bad products. I agree with you.

Hotshot always had issues with cracking which is ****ed up if you ask me. N/A headers are under a lot less stress than a turbo header and to have an N/A header crack is pretty rare. Hotshot really messed up here producing their entire header range with cracking problems.

The fact that SSAC headers cracked from the beginning is expected. They copied Hotshot's header, and did such a good job of it they had the same problems. No surprises there.

Good for them. It's pretty comical actually that they did that, when Hotshot didn't.

We are talking about turbo manifolds here though. Saying an N/A header from SSAC doesn't crack means nothing in this context because it is not a turbo manifold. Making an N/A header that doesn't crack is child's play. Your other methods of backing up SSAC are valid. But saying they make an N/A header that doesn't crack so their turbo header is probably not going to crack is like saying a Doctor performed a successful circumcision so his brain surgery must be pretty good too.

^Dude? *shakes head*

If Dre would stop getting the wrong idea about my posts I wouldn't have to explain myself so thoroughly.

The reason me and you dont agree or get along on stuff on the forum is because you pic little bits of stuff I say and bring up your own crap and change the subject around. Read my quote below from where you pulled the quote and understand my response to the guys making the original comment and you will know what I am talking about.

Same crap with the damn intercooler on the SER without cutting the suport beam. What was your comment I dont see it working, instead of you asking what am I doing wrong. You could have easily gotten help on that subject. What did you bring up well I dont have AC. Well the subject was on how to make the intercooler fit with AC and you just jump into your car and your world. **** you would figure if I could get an intercooler in there with AC and supprt beam I sure as sh!t could get it into a car without AC. Just like the tranny bracket conversation you think about just your own situation. When I make something it is designed for all situations.

Same crap with the tranny bracket and you saying I dont see how it is going to work and what you are saying does not make sense, I had to go through a complete thesis on the damn thing. You would think I just pulled this crap out of my ass. You might have forgot that I have had this thing on cars for the past 10 years or so.


Thank god you were not around when I came up with how to put and convert a B15 and P11 tranny in a B13 and the fact that they stronger. With you I might have had to write a 2 part novel on it. **** when I come up with crap like this it is thoroughly tested and cheched out before I open my mouth.

man someone buy this manifold and test it out, until then everything everyone is saying bull****.

I think I'm the one that bought this manifold off of likethemovies. I will let you all know about fitment and any weakness', if any. I am a certified welder, so I will repair it if necessary, and let you all know when and what had to be done. The welds are not the best, but they are far from the worst, and I may or may not have to grind the ports...still got to check those. I will keep you all posted with any and all updates or mods/fixes with this manifold.

Keep us posted.

Can you tell us if the pipes are thick enough in your opinion for turbo duty or do you feel if they are to thin.

They seem thick enough, but I don't have another "known thin pipe" manifold for comparison. I'll see if I can get my hands on a digital caliper and measure wall thickness before I install it.

Dre, it seems my main problem with you is that I'm unable to read between the lines of your posts and gleam as much information as everyone else can from them. Your posts are terse and I can't fill in the blanks.



Heaven forbid you take a couple minutes to explain something thoroughly. =/
It's not just me I'm thinking of here. I ask you to clarify for the dozen or so others who may not be able to follow your posts when they come along a thread possibly years from now.

And since you brought up the intercooler with AC thing; I still maintain my stance that it's impossible to do what you said can be done.

You can maintain your stance all you want, the fact it I have done it over 25 times already as thats about the same amount of turbo cars I have done.

The problem is I guess once you cant do it, it cant be done and must be impossible. So keep dreaming as if you can get Donshou to post pics of his cousins turbo car then you might see the Unicorn, the Shupacabra and the Lockness monster all at the same time between the bumper suport and the AC condser.


I still laugh at the Crappy 4 into 1 header talk on SR20turbofreaks header. I mean what credential do you have to comment on a mans header that is proven, a man that has skills to back up product and craft.

Hmmm.

Anway keep posting you silly comments on tried and proven products. Trust me when I tell you there are alot of people getting a lot of comedic releif from you.
