nice updates! Thank you!

How long have you been around SL? When that kit started showing up, I swear, every other week someone had a blown motor. Or they would open the box to inspect parts and have to send it back for WG repair.

to answer rhythmnsmokes question its a greddy specific mani im really not sure anymore about the style

edheng

been off and on this site for about a year or so but never did that much searching in the F/I section just looked at the FYI stuff. normally i just come on here for D&S region updates and classifieds.

Damn, the Greddy kit IS a nice looking kit. Sometimes I wish I would've went with it.

edheng

well got some good news today, Greddy is going to ship me a new manifold so i should hopefully get it the later part of this week or next week. Hopefully there won't be any problems with the new one.

Nice work and terrific write up !!!!

Not to hijack but....

Yes, that is true

Both and the latter is false...the ZPI turbine flange and the Greddy turbine flange are totally different. Hence why I will have 2 diff. replacement manifolds.

But back to Eds thread....

Keep us posted and nice to have another boosted Scion in AZ.

One of these days we will all have to get together

They both are Mistu turbo's. How is it different out of curiosity?

Why would those 3 turbines bolt up differently? Looking back at his pic, it looks identical to my Manifolds flange.

TurboToyotas

Yes, they are but different turbine housings.

The Greddy is a T25 flange where the ZPI is a true mitsu flange......cause they are using factory Mitsu turbos....where Greddy is not.

Back on topic......

Gotcha, thanks for the info.

edheng

Good to know, did you ever get a greddy kit in for the manifold mock up? the new manifold should be here by end of week so hopefully i'll have some updates soon

TurboToyotas

Yes sir I sure did I will have a mani sometime next week. Let me know if you want to do some test work.

Thread Jack....lol

Who's testing the ZPI mani replacement?

Just1n

very nice Ed. I want a test ride.

edheng

Well i just got the new manifold but after looking at it for a bit it looks like i might have the same problem. Hopefully not though.

Justin
one of the scion events will do a test run.

edheng

Well I got the new manifold last Friday but haven’t had time to swap it out until last night since I was waiting on a new manifold gasket. Swapped out the manifold and inspected the old one and found a hole between the welding of cylinder 3 and 4. Anyways everything seems normal so far. Here are the pics of the old manifold one showing the spot where the hole was and a light test.

Mr_Meaty

So...did you just contact greddy and they sent you a new mani? You gotta send the old one back?

And which pics are you on your photobucket page...those girls got some TALL shoes!

Oh, and your "Headers and intake" thread in your sig is not there anymore.

edheng

Yea i called them up for a warranty and sent the old one back to them. They were pretty cool about it. Just had to explain in extensive detail since i could take a pic of it while it was in the car.

I'll have to fix the images for some reason it would let me post them.

And thanks for the heads up on the signature thing didn't even notice that.

Mr_Meaty

no prob.
I was wondering if they sent the the replacement BEFORE you had to return the bad one, of if you had to return the bad one first.

edheng

well i think in a normal case you would have to send the bad on in first unless you provide good reason and pics showing damage. In my case the car is a DD so i explained everything in detail...plus work kinda helped me on this as well.
