JGS is a proved manifold, definitely the choice for KA-Ts, i have one, also a Gladman i recently bought used :P Just liked to see the SOHC still being supported.

Are godspeed manifolds any good? They say the manifolds have a cast coat on it, but what about the materials used.

They are selling a kit in eBay already for $599 w/turbo. I'm considering picking a manifold up to see what it's all about.

Here's some pictures of my possession of a Godspeed project KA24E turbo manifold. eBay is currently selling them at the cost of 199.90. If you want to claim it as a knock-off of a JGS Performance manifold you can say that. But, for the price of a cast iron manifold for 199.90, you cant beat it. Pictures are self explanatory also, but enjoy if you plan on buying this manifold!

The last picture represents on how much the manifold weighs in pounds. This is a pretty accurate weight, but it reads 8.6 pounds. I would say 9 pounds in total.

theres a reason people turbo their sohc...they can't afford the dohc. so saving a $100 to one of these owners makes a lot of sense. manifold looks good though.

The surfaces are just as flat as the other flanges on other turbo manifolds (as far as i know, this is my first turbo manifold). Earlier this morning I sand blasted this baby, painted it with flat black VHT Flame Proof Header Paint and baked it in the oven twice on two different settings to cure the paint. This manifold is ready to go! (Pics upon request :P)

I out a turbo on my E because there was no point in swapping a DE for the power I was pushing.
But if they make a down pipe and dump pipe with oil lines then jgs might have to lower their prices. I don't want jgs to go out of buisiness but I'm not going to spend 1-2 hundred for a very similar product just to keep them going.

Or...... We want to be a little bit different and have something that's not so common. My sohc has hurt a lot of dohc 240's feelings in my area.

When I purchased the manifold on eBay, the only item that came was the manifold. Thats it.
