Product review: GTpumps E3 manifold

[brisvr4]

Just to help prove the manifold is angled correctly fellas. I made a jig on
a bench at work using a Mitsu Evo 3 exh mani because I was going to
make my own tube mani. Anyway I also purchased one of Mark's Evo 3
copy manis because I thought it is the right price & it saves me making
the tube mani. I took the Mark copy mani to work just to see if it matches
The angle the turbo sits at is spot on. The 4 bolts to hold the turbo misses
by 3mm compared to the Mitsu one. In other words, the turbo, heat shield
dump & all lines will fit. If a real Evo 3 mani needs a bit of grinding to fit
a vr4, then Mark's mani needs a bit of grinding too. How come people
don't complain about a Mitsu Evo 3 mani not being a direct fit ?
I suggest when ordering an Evo copy exh mani, you specify if it is going
on an Evo head or a vr4 head. I'm sure Mark can grind a bit off to make
it fit a vr4 head if you state it is for a vr4 head.
AS FAR AS THE PRODUCT GOES, THANKS MARK FOR SUPLYING ME ONE !
And also for the other gear that you brought into the country !

Well said Aldo!!

Before you read this keep in mind that I am not taking a shot at anyone here.

Personally I have no problem at all with having to lightly modify parts to fit my car as long as it is not detrimental to the overall safety and reliability of it.

I think a good solution might be for Chris or Mark to perhaps make up a fitting guide with pics for those who need it and post it up both here and on galantvr4.or.au. Then have this post deleted.

I'm sure that they would have done this out of the goodness of their hearts if asked previously ( although it is probably a big ask now ).

It would be a good idea to keep in mind that when we start to modify our cars some custom work is inevitable!

In all honesty ive been into mitsubishi's for years and i never knew that the vr4 manifolds dont bolt up to an evo manifold.. and vice versa... cos ive never actually done it... this i imagine would be the same situation as Dan.

What meek pointed out about cutting things up etc etc.. Well if you buy speaks for doors you know they wount fit and you would make room for adjustment.. BUT this manifold stated it was a direct 'BOLT ON' to a VR4..

In my mind direct bolt on means.. take off the old one and put on the new one.. simple.. no fuss no nonsense... BUT this manifold needed shaving.. so it was a misleading add when it say 'direct bolt on' which i hope that has been changed on gtpumps website and also his ebay ads.

That said i think people need to take it to pm because this topic has gone on enough.

As already stated, all concerns have been answered, so yes, there really is no point leaving this thread open for everyone to argue over.
