Does he have a website? I found the VVL header link but all of the other links on the site don't work.

That shorty bottom mount T2 flange turbo manifold is a piece of work. It takes about 12-13hrs to build that thing. Its a complete pain in the ass. I've only made 3 so far and the last one that I made for someone i messed 2 of the runners up just enough that the whole thing is junk. The ONLY was I will make those manifolds is for $850 paid in full upfront. I do make a stainless steel down pipe 3" that bolts to the stock cat location for another $550 if purchased at the same time as the manifold. the DP built at a later date will be $750.

I just got a very tight radius 1 5/8"" bend die on a 1 3/4" radius. yes, 1 3/4" radius. thats very very VERY tight. Most 1 5/8-1 3/4" are on 2.5-3" radius. I am trying to get some .95-.105" wall material to bend with it. If that is the case, I will be able to make these manifolds, or something very similar, for possibly 1/2 the price but I wont know for a while. I want to get the headers going and done first.

I do make top mount T3 manifolds from 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" pipe. These range from $750-900 on average. I also make these in T3 divided flange as well. I can do T4 on request but the price depends on the turbo used and full application as fitting these in the engine bay is a bit more of a job.

I am building 1-2 more prototypes to test on the dyno. This will be on a full bolt on sr20ve, N1 cams, Calum, and all the other basic bolt ons. I will try to get to the dyno by this weekend or next week.

I made a large order of head flanges so I will be waiting for those to come in before I can start production. I will also be waiting to order tubing till most likely next week. I have to order it in bulk to get the best price so that I can make these at this price.


Sounds great, what revisions are you looking into?

slight changes in the design, possibly making it a stepped header if it costs the same or less.

I am doing a group buy on the K series guys for a budget K24 swap header as well so i'm trying to figure if i can order enough materials for the SR and K24 headers at the same time to keep costs low. So changing the design from a non stepped to a stepped could cost the same overall, but possibly make a good deal more power.

That would be badass if you could do that. Are you saying you have someone else that will be dynoing these, so I no longer need to dyno it immediately after I receive the header?

charles would you recommend a full merge collector ? and agian it would be 550 wich is full price up front for a 421 with full merge collector and a 02 on the seconderie ?

this comes with a flex pipe etc with bolt flanges ?

for the best performance i do recommend the full merge collectors. It looks better and has better flow and gas merge properties.

the $550 is the correct deposit for what you listed. that is for the full header, including the rear section with the flex pipe.

To all others interested in this header but will not be able to afford it at this time, If this group buy goes well, then I will continue to sell them but they will be for the $495 and up. This is assuming that i do not run into any problems or unexpected issues that will cause the cost of production to go through the roof.

I will do group buys if there is enough interest.

Jer, I'm not sure exactly when i'll be dynoing but i'll let you know. I do want to dyno before sending them out though.

**UPDATE**

I now have enough deposits between the Nissan budget header and the honda K series header that I can take partial deposits to those that can not put the full asking amount down. I can do $200 for the base plus the additional amount for the add ons.

The terms for the "partial" deposit is as follows. The people that pay in full will get their headers built and shipped before the "partial" deposit participants headers do. The remaining balance must be paid within 1 week of the header being completed. From when the headers begin being fabricated I expect them to be done within 7-10 business days tops. I expect the remaining balance within one week of the header being completed or else the price of that header goes to retail of $495 at this point. ( or more depending on add ons.)

I have ordered more than enough tubing to do 15-20 nissan headers and 20 honda k24 headers. This will be here next week, monday most likely. I have 8 flanges left and already placed the order for more but I will not know 100% sure when they will be ready until they are. I hope in 10-15 days.
