CJM VQ Turbo Manifolds

phunk

you definitely do not. If you choose to, make sure you do the drivers side first. If you start with the passenger side, how easy it is might deceive you. The drivers side is a total ***** for tubular style.

We are trying differences sizes and compressor covers right now seeing what will fit. Its unreal how large of a turbo we can fit on the passenger side with space to go, compared to the driver side. Its made me consider making a big single kit with a passenger side turbo and then a crossover tube from the driver side.

Hey Charles, i was on the website earlier shopping around and noticed that these manifolds haven't been added yet. Any reason? and will they be added?

From when this thread was originally posted, they were never quite made available. The driver side turbo location just wasn't going to cut it for a product to ship due to how much the motor mount needed modification.

So I slept on it for a while since I was very busy and moved the shop etc.

Last week a new driver side manifold design was finished, and we now have GTX3582Rs fitting both sides without any motor mount modification! This week I will be cutting some more manifold flanges and we are going to begin building more.

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.
