Is this a good 5sfe Turbo Manifold?? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey guys. I'm doing some hardcore research into turboing my camry. I found this manifold on E-bay. Is this something that is quality that will work with my setup? Money isn't an issue. Or should I go to a custom shop for a manifold?

Here is the auction on E-bay:

Thanks guys!

instead of risking some crappy ebay brand cracking on you.. just use the 3sgte manifold. OR have one custom done. I have seen nothing but bad results from people that buy downpipes/manifolds off "ebay brands"

Anyone one else care to chime in? I totally agree with that though, good point!

The turbos going to run at 7 psi max. So you really dont need that fancy manifold. Id get a stock one for 50 bucks and clean it up all nice and shiney. Just remember the turbo runs hottt. And no matter what, there is always back pressure on the turbo. I thought os the turbo thing my self since i have a baby engine 34,000 miles. But then it occured to me, its a camry.

I WOULD NOT USE THAT MANIFOLD.

There is no support for the manifold unless you can weld a support on there.

Use a stock one, and they are not 50 bux. They are like 250 or so from the dealer.

A used one is cheaper, but ive seen used ones go for like 100

Those manifolds are horrible... They crack easily, and they do not fit well at all... plus that downpipe will not work on a camry setup.

Unless you have a good reason otherwise - the 3sgte cast manifold us very good quality, it can handle lots of power, and is what I would suggest... If you use the stock 3s heatshield over it, you will have a clean setup
