Default Interesting new Holley turbo manifold design at LSFest

Not sure if anyone had posted this yet but there was a cool 3D printed exhaust manifold at Holleys tent at LSFest based on there swap manifolds...I have seen severa people use this design and would surely make a cheap way for people to turbo their LS swapped car if they have the room...I know I would be willing to give it a try and take some fab work/time out of the equation...

I guess since the term "reinventing the wheel" is so over-used, they decided to reinvent the log?

Funny that Buick Grand National had that on their 3.8 liter turbo V6's in 1986.

I put a Buick GN engine in my little FC RX-7 back in the late 90's. Essentially stock and ran mid 11's with a terrible unknown chip in there. I tuned with an EGT and fuel pressure for the most part based off of 1 chip

It may not be new in terms of design....but who is mass producing such an item for the open market ?

And all cast, cant be a bad thing.

It's a nice design and yes, there have been similar designs used in the past. That v band at the front will make this a much more universal part though. Nice plug access and I like the clean look of the under the flexplate crossover.

I'll stick with my KB and Spike Performance log setups but thanks for showing up 10 years fashionably late Holley.

Here is a video I shot at LS Fest...The turbo manifold is towards the end.


Is it a new idea, no, but it is a clean and proven design. The V-band at the front makes it adaptable to many different applications. It's also very compact and being that it will be cast iron, that makes it more durable. Probably not targeting the 1000+hp people, but certainly the under 750hp crowd...

That is far nicer than the others out there that have been around. And doesn't feed the driver bank through the passenger back like the others

If they need some R&D, I'd give one a whirl! Looks like it would fit the Zephyr and work for my HP goals.
