My 88' 323 GT

Check this out

I am considering buying one to test fit on my B6d. If that fits under the hood of a Festy it could be well worth the 89 bucks. Just the bends and flanges would cost more than that, never mind the fab time involved. Be sure to support the turbo, never hang a turbo from any manifold, unless you like leaks and cracking.

Says $380 in my browser.

Was $89 when I checked earlier but it now says $380!

Wow! Can confirm it was 89 for me earlier to, guess we should of snagged it when we could, and I don't even have a turboed car, just really like good deals haha.

I bought one for 89. I'm not sure what the deal is with the price hike. That product has been 89 bucks for months. The auction has been relisted several times, always 89. I'll check it out and test fit it and do a write up.

It sez it's for a Miata 1.6. So basically it's a B6D/B6T manifold?

They are the same

Yeah. Most 1.6 miata turbo manifolds mount the turbo on top of the manifold, which doesn't work well on a transversely mounted car because of hood clearance issues. This is the first bottom mount "ram horn" style turbo manifold that I've seen from eBay, and also the first with a T25 flange. Both these attributes are attractive for a dohc b6 turbo FWD car (or awd in the gtx). I can test fit this on a Festiva, a Capri and a GTX all in the same day.

And that Charlie, makes it very appealing to me as well depending on the quality of it, which I'm sure you'll fill us in once yours arrives lol

I wrote to the seller and asked why the price went up so much. He said his supplier ran out so he is down to 3 of them. When they manufacture more of them the price will come back down.
My 89 dollar investment quadrupled in less than 24 hours! I wish my stocks would do that. Lol

Talk about taking supply and demand values to a new level, wow lol

As promised, I checked the fitment of this eBay turbo header sold for the 1.6 Miata. It doesn't fit the head without some work. The second picture shows the overall discrepancy between the spacing. If you center the manifold then the difference would be half of that, but on both sides. I can make this manifold fit nicely one way or another and at 89 bucks it was worth the money. the welds aren't to bad (it was even back purged as it should be) and it seems to be a drastically better design than the stock b6t manifold.
It would fit a Festiva with the B6t mounted to an E series in the stock location. the problem is that most t2 flanged turbos will easily support enough power to shred an e box with ease. If you put a GT1752 garrett on this manifold and used a 5 psi waste gate pod then you could probably nurse an E box for awhile.

Where's the fun in that?

Awesome thanks for those pics Charlie!! I think I'll just wait until the price goes back down to $89 and get one of those instead of building my own
