DarkDevilMMM if I want a potential headache, I rather just get another GVR4 335/1000

And since I'm contributing to the design process I'll get you my address for a PRI flange. Toybreaker sent me these a while back the car ran at the Pinks event last year in Colorado.
I love how well that engine bay looks but the exterior paint is all messed up. people won't even give a second look at the "run down" car until you open the hood and will be like HOLY SHi.......
and to OP, those are some really nice constructions. hope it doesn't suck in too many bugs
huh?

Prison Rape Industries?
Yep it is an inside joke. My brother and I always try to mess around when building parts, and we figured it would be awesome for people to look at the manifold and be all "Prison Rape???" LOL.
This is our first run at building a manifold, so who know how it will turn out. I figure the material are pretty cheap, so for me it is a why not.

We are going to cut out a K&N pannel filter to stuff in the grill, and just find some jimmy fuck way of attaching it to the turbo. So right away I am going to just use a sock as my filter .

Do you plan on back purging? What size turbo are you planning on running?
I have no clue what that is. I have a Welder that I use. I can tack stuff together but that is about it. So I pay money to have it done the right way.
As for the turbo it is a 37r.

I was under the impression you and your brother would be welding it as well.
Looks like an interesting idea, I've always been a fan of the forward facing manifolds that I have seen. Please keep the thread updated with progress, I would like to see how it turns out.

I hate to jack, but you can get a cnc flange in steel or stainless from www.bmcrace.comThem plus www.acestainless.com make great resources for building your own manifold. However the "Prison Rape" brand flange *is baller!

That is a baller flange! How much would he make one of those for?
Thanks. As far as making them, this part would cost alot because it was a complete billet piece. AMS sells a cast part that would do the job just fine.

The reason we did not go that route is because my brother loves to CNC stuff, and he wanted to try some new stuff out on the mill, so we were like hell ya lets do it.

Did you consider running it as a top mount? Given your mockup & turbo positioning, it seems like it would be easier to get longer runners (and equal length) if you were to drop the tubes down and then come back up to the turbine housing. Just a thought.
The flange looks pretty slick and I had to at the name.
Ya, we are looking at all kinds of options for mounting this thing. That is why right now it is just Zip Ties and Blue Tape FTW!. The hard part with the Galant is there is not very much vertical clearance and not much space between the radiator support and the head. Plus I still need to have a wastegate and a full 3in exhaust up in there. So space is very tight and it just makes things a little interesting .
