Gauging interest: SteedSpeed Turbo Manifold

[subparpunk03]

So after reading the thread about the protege garage manifold, and seeing some interest in the plenum style manifold, I thought I'd see if there was any real interest in this and try and bring steedspeed over to this forum.

Here's the original thread from 247:
Steed Speed Turbo manifold - Mazda Forums

These tend to be a little more expensive, but for the guys on this forum looking to make big power they could be a great alternative.

I dont feel like reading thru 6 pages of text, was there some sort of price estimate?

[subparpunk03]

$625 and I think they are ceramic coated

FWIW, they aren't THAT expensive for what they are. I think the price for the MSP manifold on their site is $625 coated. I think that PTP is selling the DNP mani coated for $699. The only bargain price one is the PG manifold at this time - I think $450 uncoated, so at least another $100 on top of that to be coated.

Hopefully this is the correct forum for SteedSpeed to market the MS3/MS6 turbo manifold - given the more hardcore performance nature that Haltech has provided! I would buy one (assuming MS6 compatibility!).

[aaronc7]

yeah 625 doesnt seem too bad, as long as its made well.

[redspeed]

He needs to make a prototype and dyno. Only way people are gona get interested in this.

[bombdotcom]

VERY VERY VERY INTERESTED. SIGN ME UP! HIS WORK LOOKS TOP NOTCH

[ATE BALLER]

Ahh, the race is on...

true story.
dynos talk.

[aaronc7]

very yes

[subparpunk03]

Well, steedspeed hasn't come over to this board yet, so until they post up, this thread is just to let them know whether there's enough interest to even bother with a prototype. Just post up if you are interested depending on gains/fitment/shininess whatever.

Ate, I am by no means committed to steedspeed, but I like the idea of a plenum mani and I know they came over to 247 a while ago, so who knows. Competition = good.

[numbnuts22715]

For sure. If it gives comparible gains to the others out there and keeps the turbo in stock fitment, and is coated, i would definitely be willing to pay 625 for it. I bet a lot of others would agree.

[ATE BALLER]

Oh, by all means, invite them. I know how I'm making this one, and I know it's going to kick ass. In the end, the more parts available, the better. Just look for a few tricks with mine.

[Haltech]

247 = the suck...

This is mazdaspeedforums... where shit gets handled

[subparpunk03]

The reason it didn't get off the ground on 247 was that everyone was bitching that they wanted something for under $300 that would give 50+hp gains.... sigh.

[ATE BALLER]

That and they were convinced to do an intake manifold instead, I thought.

[steedspeed]

Hi everyone

I heard there might be some interest in one of my billet CNC machined turbo manifolds so here I am if you have any questions. If there is enough interest I'll get going on the CAD design and perhaps one of you can try out a prototype for me?

From what I see it would be short runner similar to stock dimensions but with much bigger/smoother flowing passages. I'd also suggest having an external wastegate port for better performance. You can actually run two wastegates together keeping the original factory unit in place for additional exhaust gas evacuation.

Cheers!

[subparpunk03]

Would it be possible to have a blocking plate or something so the external wastegate would be optional?

[AutoXRacer]

Sweet!!!! As I posted on the "other" forum in the old thread...count me in!!

[ATE BALLER]

PM sent.

[bombdotcom]

make itttttt!

[bykeryder4life]

+1 and dyno it and get pics after installed. haha not to be demanding or anything

[boostjunkie]

id be down pending a dyno

[winniep]

I had posted in this thread like 5 years ago as well lol. I thought all hope was lost. If this can be proven and makes good gains, price is NOT an issue. Anything to help lessen the chance of an unwanted explosion. If you build it, they will come...........

[mdogg]

bump to get this prototyped and manufactured!

[cld12pk2go]

sub

[Joshj84]

I'd buy one for sure.

[masskaos]

it's my next mod on my list if it comes out

[mdogg]

hmmmm..... Steedspeed MZR Turbo Manifold

[numbnuts22715]

Its not gonna be done for a longass time...
He hasnt even started et.

[aaronc7]

whats the main advantage of this over say...PGs? Just higher quality materials and better build/quality, last longer, etc?

[numbnuts22715]

I'd imagine the shorter runner length could help at least a little bit. Also, quality of the materials and all that like you say.
It's comes precoated, and I'd imagine there wouldnt be any fitment issues since its a smaller, more compact design

[steedspeed]

Correct. Also it will perform better than PG product because I can machine passages to whatever shape I want rather than being restricted to the tubes which are available to a welder/fabricator. There are no sharp edges and poor joins between pipes because they are all machined precisely using CNC machining centers. Flanges are also machined spot on and are very rigid due to the overall construction method. You won't ever have to open up a hole on one of my manifolds to get it to fit! I suppose it is hard for some people to understand what my manifolds are all about but if you want an unbiased answer then please post a feedback request on any forum where I have sold product and ask my customers what they think of my manifolds and customer service.

[numbnuts22715]

You need to make these!

[Grim]

i say you should make an intake instead.

[mdogg]

Please just make/perfect the turbo manifold, sell it for $600-$700 coated, and then move on to making another item for us DISI guys!

I just wanna make the girl in your avtar movie there actually!

Bouncalicious!

[PDXImportRacer]

I just pre-ordered it! muahahahahah!!

[AutoXRacer]

(not actual MS3 manifold...used for representation only)



Drooooling....

MAKE IT!!!!!!! I ordered!!!

[dadasracecar]

Please make an intake manifold.
