Manifolds comparison. JGS vs ETD. Tubular vs. Log
Manifolds comparison. JGS vs ETD. Tubular vs. Log
ok i made the mistake on buying a SSAC manifold when i have a DOHC, ABS/BMC, and a standard turbo.
i'm looking into a JGS or ETD log manifold
ETD also makes a short tubular manifold that i'm very interested in.
debating if i should go log or tubular. is there a major difference? i've read somewhere that tubular manifolds can give +60 hp than log manifolds.
i called JGS and they don't have any ka24de manifold in stock at the moment.
anywho i really like the tubular manifold ETD makes.
any CASE? (comments advice suggestions experiences)

zen.....
test fit it..
im gonna test fit mine and if it dont work.. eitehr sell it or make it work.. lol
about the wg, im sure you can replace the wg.. dunno anyways, try and look for other choices.
jgs log mani is a good choice.

Re: Manifolds comparison. JGS vs ETD. Tubular vs. Log
I made the mistake of buying a manifold and not asking all the right questions. Like, will it work on my auto car with abs? I think all companies should state what specific car a product was designed around. Now I'm stuck with a $650 paperweight...zenkizen wrote:ok i made the mistake on buying a SSAC manifold when i have a DOHC, ABS/BMC, and a standard turbo.

I think JGS is your best bet-that's who I finally went with (should have been my first choice). I know they're on back-order, but it's worth the wait.
Good luck,

You really won't see big gains unless you're comparing log style to an equal length tubular design (like Full-Race). Log is pretty inefficient especially at upper RPMs.
Top of the thread that I posted below, has a comparison using a Civic. Scroll half way through for 240sx with SR20 comparison.

haha I own that ETD mani now. Everything fits well. Car will be up and running in 2-3 weeks. BTW I made 412rwhp @ 18lbs on a BD mani I should make more as the BD has a crack in it, haha. Your over all setup is more important.seanc wrote:i owned an ETD for like 30 min, i can note the build quality was awesome! very nice welds and it was very strong. thick flanges etc...

The ETD Greddy replacement log is a great manifold. Places the turbo very far forward and low for better MC and hood clearance (like the JGS). If JGS is backordered, then try an ETD.... I've been running the first one John ever made in my car for over a year now problem free.zenkizen wrote:anyone have any comments on ETD log manifold?

Haha. I hated digging the oil out from my nails, so I finally wised up and bought a few pairs of disposable gloves .titec2 wrote:neoamd,
have you managed to get all of that grease and oil out form under your finger nails yet? lol
