    HKS make a Turbo kit for the AE86 with a GT25 turbo. Can't remember the price on them, you could pretty much buy another AE86 for it though.

    Cheers

    dave... wtf... that cast manifold is worth US $295? Plus shpping on it's gonna be a bitch, esp from the US.

    I'd think you can get some equal length puppies made up for your car for around the same price at a local fabrication shop.

    is that manifold upside down?

    cause by the look of it, it is made for a front wheel drive... the compressor housing will be facing backwards unless its mounted pretty much in front of the engine...

    just what it looks like to me.. cant get any photos on the car can you?

    woudnt be a very hard design to copy and would come on boost really quickly compared to a tuned length set up...

    IMO i like it!

    Yep, looks FWD...

    Either the compressor would be getting in the way of the alternator or the exhaust would be coming out the front of the engine bay....

    Meh.... Long type turbo manifolds suck, if your going to spend the coin on going turbo, do it once do it RIGHT! Get somthing made to suit the turbo you want. not buy cheap manifold and have to put up with bad responce, and crap turbo's. (just being general). my two cents

    log types dont actually suck... they will make your turbo come on boost alot quicker then a tuned length manifold because the gas has less distance to travel thus given you great response... a tuned length however will give a smoother boost curve and also produce a higher power figure from the smoother gas flow....

    both types have there advantages....
