TD42 Turbo manifold?

doby · Post by **doby** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 7:43 pm

Can anyone recomend someone in Auckland who could weld up an exhorst manifold with a T3 flange on it for a TD42? or dose anyone have a TD42 turbo manifold thay wish to part with? (I understand these are like rocking horse shit!) Was thinking of moderfying the standerd manifold but dont think that option will work any more.

Cheers for any help!

keep an eye out on trademe, there is a chap who has listings sometimes, i think he makes 'custom' manifolds up, based in Hamilton i think, cant see any listings at the moment though

Top Gear Auto Tech in East Tamiki can make you a complete manifold. It is what they speacialise in and have done TD42's before as well as alot of other custom stuff. You will pay for what you get though and I'm pretty sure you'll be booked in as they are pretty busy always. 09 2733 947 and ask for Kerry.
Quite a few guys that are competing in winch comps have had work done by them.

Can you measure it?
T3 has 10mm studs on a 86x44mm rectangle.
T2/T25/T28 has 8mm studs on a 73x40mm rectangle.

Have decided to go with a custom hi flow manifold. Geting performance metal works to make one for me. Was going to get a factory TD42 turbo manifold from nissan but they wonted $1250 :shock:

Can get a much better product for around the same money from PMW. Thanks Warren!

Nope, but the convenience of the subaru electric pump that he's got there is hard to pass up.

Yep and didnt want more pullys etc as have enough crap under the bonnet now ,How would you drive a pump off the PTO given that we running PTO winch ,also wouldnt you have to drive with pto engaged all the time ? ..Steve

Did not think that far into the pto idear :oops:

was just thinking about other options for the pump as i have plenty or crap runing of the alternator already. Can any one suggest a good place to get a watre to air intercooler in AK? Cheers.

Cool I asked this question in another thread weather the DSR 480 would suit a safari. So the 430 will be more responsive and not under powered? I have had a 430 in the car for a year now and am very happy with it. Although can't say I was happy with the manifold.

Yeah but was just a dsr aftermarket bolt on, not custom

Yeah seems to be a lot of people registering just to promote their product

It's good in the fact I would never know about these products otherwise, but a little rude to just advertise without so much of an introduction

Heath · Post by **Heath** » Tue Nov 10, 2009 8:12 pm

Yep especially when the retailers on site make contributions (they do dont they? :shock:

) to ORE.

Its a bit rude, how would they like their shop windows filled with competitors adverts. :wink:

Not too sure about how Mike feels about advertising on here, but even a simple introduction on who you are, your involvement in the 4wd scene etc would be good.
Turbo's for the Safari's is a common topic at the moment, and info/ recommendations are good, but I personally would like to see people introduce themselves first, so don't take it the wrong way.

Right, back on topic. Anyone on here use these manifolds?

They look like Aaron Smythe's, so presumably they wouldn't be too different to the one on his comp truck.
