Big news for RHD guys. TCD manifolds available in ~75 days

Post by T_C_D »

We have had sufficient demand to justify RHD manifolds. m20 manifold will be available fist and then the m30. Price will be $699. Manifold will be up top.

We can only move so fast ($$$$). It's tough for a small company like us to develop many products at a time.

Sorry, it was in no way ment to be a dig at you, it's just i've not long committed to tuning my M30 N/A with a high C/R motor.

For all i've read about your company over the last 2/3 years on various forums it sounds a great little company.

Hmm Sounds good.

I already bought a BAE one off you...but would consider buying one of your newer ones.

Can you tell me if the turbo mount will be more forward than the BAE one..instead of near the rear..more central prehaps? What kind of mount will it have on the Manifold T3 etc..? Will it be machined for and External Wastegate?

T4, external wastegate, turbo far forward.

Just the manifold? A full rhd kit would be at the top of my christmas list, not sure it would fit in my stocking though

We cannot develop a complete kit without a RHD car.

Gutted, looking at the pics on your web site i'd say that everything looks to be in the same place as mine. Probaby wrong as always but isn't it just the steering thats different on rhd's (Bad clearance with the steering box).
Its alot of $'s to risk on a hunch and getting the kit shipped to the uk?

The RHD steering box occupies the space that the turbo fits in on LHD cars so a new manifold is required to relocate the turbo. Everything else, exhaust, intercooler design, charge piping, etc. is dictated by the turbo's location.

Any updates on these manifolds? Also do u think that your intercooler will be able to be used with some plumbing mods?
