Replacement SS Greddy turbo manifold option.
 
PFABRICATIONS.COM has said if they can get a Greddy manifold from someone they can make a jig to produce a replacement out of SS, like the one they make for the S2000. Mine has not cracked yet so its still mounted. But if anyone has one they can let them use temporarily it would help out the Greddy turbo community. They can even make it with a different flange so we can have more turbo options.

I emailed them about this and they never even responded.

golde4u 04-28-2014 05:12 PM

I just corresponded with them twice through email. Maybe they were busy before, I don't know. but its good to have options now.

I do have a spare manifold.

golde4u 04-28-2014 06:10 PM

did you want to try and contact them again? I will let them know on my end if you don't mind. give them the heads up.

I can also loan out mine if needed.

I resent the email today.

golde4u 04-28-2014 10:17 PM

OK, I gave them the heads up.

You seem resentful.

yomomspimp06 04-29-2014 07:10 AM

I see what you did there...

I think everyone who wants one should shoot then an email. It will let them know we are serious.

golde4u 04-29-2014 05:00 PM

After futher review of the Greddy kit and the spacing available in the engine we have decided to not take on this project until we have an actual chassis and kit in our hands to test fit and ensure fitment. I apologize I could not help at this time.

They backed out!

golde4u 04-29-2014 05:09 PM

I'm going to see if I can find someone to 3D print one.

9krpmrx8 04-29-2014 05:11 PM

Yeah I got the same response today. I don't know why they would need an RX-8 if they have a manifold. I think it's a nice way of saying "fuck off".

kma5783 04-29-2014 06:49 PM

Not only would they have to have the same flange locations, but they would have to follow the same profile of the Greddy Manifold to ensure fitment.

What someone needs to do is do what they are suggesting. Build a manifold as a Greddy replacement with the same flange locations, but with the car on hand to check clearances of the routing of the tubing. Making a SS Tube manifold within the same profile and contours of the Greddy manifold would be a pain in the ass.

TeamRX8 04-29-2014 09:04 PM

Exactly. There was a pic on here of one that MM had slagged together. It wasn't pretty.

golde4u 04-30-2014 12:53 AM

who would you suggest to build the manifold?

9krpmrx8 04-30-2014 12:19 PM

Yeah I may have to use on of the 8's in my driveway as a test bed for someone if that is the best way to get one fabbed.

TeamRX8 05-01-2014 01:13 AM

Offering it with a modified motor mount that provides more clearance would help a lot

9krpmrx8 05-01-2014 09:06 AM

Team do you know anyone that would do it without me having to sell my RX-8 to pay for it?

logalinipoo 05-01-2014 09:16 AM

Are you looking for something like mm did or something like rx8 performance. Sorry ive never placed my hands on a greddy manifold.

9krpmrx8 05-01-2014 09:23 AM

The design of the Greddy Manifold is actually pretty good, they just crack and getting anew one is next to impossible, I have called a couple of Authorized Greddy dealers. I am just looking for a steel replacement manifold, exactly like what Pfabrications does with the S2000 Greddy manifold repleacement.

logalinipoo 05-01-2014 09:28 AM

Have one cast in stainless. Casting is surprisingly cheap. Im sure there are a few foundries around there.

They can cast it identical then you just have to have the flanges surfaced.

9krpmrx8 05-01-2014 09:34 AM

Yeah I thought about that and looked around but could not find any place that could do it.
