Hey phunk, what kind of stainless are you using in these?

The flanges are machined from 304 1/2" bar plate I get locally here. The tubes are made from Vibrant 304 Sch 10 elbows.

Hi Charles, would you consider selling a set of your manifold flanges.
I'm down here in Aus & am building my own system.
I Love your Flanges, they are a real nice bit of gear.
Cheers Mate.

There are some cold rolled steel ones that Mazworx sells available here: Mazworx - VQ35DE Exhaust Flange #965513

For the stainless flanges I have been making for our manifolds, they would be significantly more expensive than these. They cost $60/set in raw material alone, and are very time consuming to machine to such detail. If I divided up the costs of inserts and cutters that are destroyed by the time a batch is done, that would probably sort out to another 7-15$ per set.

I was thinking that if I were to sell these flanges outside of manifolds, it would probably be $250-275 USD a pair. At such a cost, I am not sure that many people would bite.

This weekend's batch was dedicated to our turbo manifolds. But if the interest is there I could probably make another batch for individual retail.

Thanks Charles,
I'm definitely interested, they are sweet.

Dude. Nice work on that flange, it's killer.

Thanks man. I will probably be posting up some pics of the final manifold design this week. We are super anxious to get started on the first installation that is here and waiting.

rovert 10-06-2016 05:44 AM

Any pics of the final Manifold Charles.

phunk 10-06-2016 12:39 PM

Not yet. We are still making adjustments so we cant call it final yet. We keep moving the wastegates a little trying to fit the larger MV-R wastegates in a place that we are happy with. We also want to see it all done with the new driver side coolant pipe before we can call that side done.

phunk 10-13-2016 07:02 PM

Well... we just accepted our first order for a set of manifolds. Time to get this thing going.

etx 04-02-2017 07:25 AM

What's the new price for a set? I'm looking at a spring turbo build now.

Got any new pics?I'll need to pickup some gt28rs turbos as well.

They are on the CJM website for $2495 for the turbo manifolds.

Yup the manifolds are $2495. We have shipped a few sets now. A friend has finished assembling his 370 with the first prototype set and we are going to try it out on the dyno soon. He went with a pair of GT3076R and they have surprisingly wicked response for their rather high output potential.

We have downpipes and dumptubes done and jigged, just havent put those on the website yet.

We did a large race intercooler and will sooner or later offer the intercooler with throttle tubes as another standalone product that can be be used for custom turbo kits using our manifolds, or to upgrade the intercooler on existing turbo kits. Pics of the first prototype of the IC attached. It has 3" outlets from the IC all the way to the throttle. The inlets are 2.75".

Looking real good! Any solutions for a tow bar?
