So i need an answer to this.
will an E3 manifold flow better than my VR4 mani..i will only be using the 14B

Are the runners and turbo inlet hole bigger?

no

Not worth it then for perfomance....
unless i got the GT Pumps one.

I have an e2 mani on mine, was running it with a std 14b for a while. No noticable improvement. The fire ring for the e2 mani was a larger diameter and did not fit into the 060 14b exhaust housing so I ditched the fire ring and used a new gasket from GT Pumps (the diameter of the hole in the gasket suits the larger hole in the evo manifolds) between the mani and the exhaust housing (i didn't want blasts of hot air hitting the std 14b gasket and possibly blowing bits of it through the exhaust wheel (this may or may not have been a problem but I didn't want to take the chance).

About 6 months later, I swapped the 060 exhaust housing for an 070 housing from a small 16G and put the larger fire ring back in to help protect the gasket. No noticable increase in power, very slight increase in exhaust noise and exhaust note got more of a burble in it when the wastegate opens.

Is anyone here running a gtpumps/14B/vr4 combination here? If so, is there a performance gain or is it a straight swap so you dont have the hassle of cracking manifolds...?

dunno bout cracking, but theyre pretty damn tuff looking.


just be prepared to hack at it a bit with an angle grinder as it may not clear the Pass. side engine mount bracket first go.


and if youre worried about fitment of a 14b turbo, couldnt you use the BIG16G turbine housing? (i dont know if you can do this) 8)
