QA18DE Turbo Manifold by Protech

psshhgoesmysr20 · Apr 4th, 2003, 07:01 AM

With the help of JCgator we were able to design and build a turbo manfiold for the qg18 and all related folks. These manifolds are desinged to fit the t25 and t28, but can be made to fit the larger more illusive t3t04

Duh!!!

I have one on my car now...........lol

Did you talk to Juan before postin this??? I think he had been talking to Bruce about something.

btw..........I wouldn't bolt a t3/t4 on the QG without doing full internal modifications first.

AND, for those who are interested: I am offering full turbo kits for the QG18DE, featuring these manifolds! Contact me for more info.

No I haven't spoken with Juan But I got the okay to put them on the website so I posted them here aswell.

that's cool.

I must say, the work is flawless on this. I'm sure Juan talked to Bruce about a couple minor changes, but you can see the pics at http://photos.yahoo.com/mistasentra in the turbo album of the mani

I kinda wish I had it jet coated, but oh well..............it still works really well

I am so proud of these things, they are amazing, the first time I held one in my arms was like holding a new born child, just a lot prettier. Heheh, anywho, Chimmike I need you to send me that last measurement we talked about so I can send it over to Bruce, and Mike, this is Juan! wassup man? back from service?

What's up Juan, no I'm still deployed overseas, I have about 40 days left here before I head home.

awesome, I am sure everyone and especially Bruce will be glad to have you home, my godson just graduated into the Marine Corps, he has 2 weeks leave before heading to SOI and then being assigned to a fleet, I really hope this Iraq crap is over by then,

I get to run it with a small T28, I Love it

I would recommend getting the jet coating tho..........keep it lookin all nice

anyone ever find out if the GA16DE and QG18DE have the same manifold pattern? If so wouldn't this mean this fits the GA16DE as well?

JCGator42 · Apr 11th, 2003, 03:11 PM

Yes, same pattern, yes it will fit, sorry I didn't say that before, I was going to make a post about it but forgot, I found this out about 6months ago at the dyno before I put my GA16DE kit on my car, I ran the kit with QG18DE manifold gaskets,

I think we better hold off on that confirmation... gaskets aren't manifolds,,, need exact measurments..
