That's not the 20 manifold.
oooo ooooo oooohhhh, full moon last night, couldn't sleep. I found Kerma's cast iron exhaust manifold. I think I may need to save my pennies.

/borat

Very nice!!!!

If I can get it all in this week I will have some dyno numbers by Friday. Thanx I usually don't brag but I'm stoked. I got some cheap ass gages as well but they are nothing to brag about.

can i be your friend. lol

Lucky you guys - have to be 21 here to allowed access to any porn

NY has it on their books that you have to be 21 to get that kind of porn in the mail. God forbid some whiz kid in high school invents the 80 MPG diesel !!!

I really didn't need to know that.

Edit:

Yes, that's disgusting, but it's on topic with the title.

I have that same setup I just got my issue a little early...lol

Ok, what will you do for the lower charge air hose to the IC?

Is that included?

The compressor is obviously rotated 90* from stock and the
90* section is molded into housing. Is the output nipple 2" OD?

It has to be unbolted and rotated. Yes the output looks to be 2". Everything was included gaskets seals nuts bolts, and a billet alum piece to adapt it to my stock IC. If you need I can take a pic of all the little hardware that goes with it.

For those of us not so knowledgeable, what exactly am I looking at and why is it good?

Looks like soft porn from what I'm used to.

At least it looks a lot cleaner than mine though.

Yes! If you don't mind...

I was torn about which KERMA turbo to order so I settled for the SS17 for plug and play simplicity.

But I will eventually move the SS17 to Whitey and go with either a straight KERMA 17 or a KERMA hybrid for RED.

It would be nice to make any needed changes to my lower pipe design now, before I am locked into a production run, to accommodate this style compressor outlet. I would like the coupling from this style outlet to my 2" pipe to be as straight and and as l-o-n-g as possible (to absorb engine vibration and movement).

It would suck to find out that my lower pipe would not work easily with that outlet style when a slight pre-production change would have solved the issue.

Do you have access to a steel welder? Would you be interested in checking a steel lower pipe prototype for fitment if I sent one to you?

Disgusting what some people will do. I hope you enjoy your "toys".

Ok I think I didn't fully understand what you were asking in the previous post. But here it goes you have to rotate the compressor housing so that it is facing down. Then you have to cut the last 90 degree turn off the factory rubber pipe.

Here are all the parts that were included with the kit from kerma, pretty much every thing you need to install the turbo, well unless you jack something up.

I have access to a wire feed welder of some sort, well my dad has one to be more specific but I can't say what kind it is as I have never used it. But with enough beer I'm sure I could convince him to do it for me. I may be interested in trying out your part but the problem is that I would have to get that adapter out of my turbo or your pipe would have to fit on the adapter at this point. So you would have to give me a couple weeks to a month(hey I work a full time job) to beat it in there.

I haven't quite gotten my old turbo off yet... mostly cause I dropped my hex wrench and can't find it, but it was getting late and I was drunk so I'm gonna give it another shot in the morning.

What your looking at is a Q-Loader from kerma that allows remote chip tuning, a set of Power Plus Nozzles that will feed more fuel to the engine, and a Vnt-17 from the PD-150 that will allow me to do this without smoking. And why is it good well your looking at any where from 40 to 80 extra hp.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!

First, I hate to have anyone cut anything when it can be avoided. But that's me and maybe I'm just weird like that. But a working spare OEM pipe and hose on the bench to restore the care for sale someday is a nice option IMHO. It could also be sold for a few $$$.

The cutting of the OEM hose is EXACTLY what I would like to help everyone avoid (probably not in time to help you tho ).

I'm working on mass producing aluminum IC pipes now with special silicone turbo hoses and couplings... all designed by me. My lower pipe will replace the flat plastic OEM pancake pipe with a 2" mandrel bent pipe. Only it will turn a full 90* and point towards the turbo rather than the approximately 45* that the hard pipe turns to where it mates to the OEM rubber hose.

What I really need is a couple of measurements so that I can aim and hang my lower pipe's end directly at that style turbo's compressor outlet. I don't want my pipe higher, lower, closer to the engine or farther away than that turbo's outlet nipple. I want my pipe positioned so that you can use a straight section of 2" silicone hose to connect my pipes to your turbos. This is to avoid having another custom made connector hose with a "joggle" in it.

When I ever get these pipes to market, you can simply order the large 2" outlet nipple adapter that KERMA sells and install it in place of the 1 3/8" adapter that you probably have that fits the OEM hose. My plumbing will be all 2" from the turbo outlet.

No need to mess with the adapter... I would just need you to remove the lower pipe and hose, and install just my pipe (a steel prototype version). See if it needs some adjusting to get it aimed straight at the turbo outlet. If it does, hack it with a hack saw and just tack weld it the way it needs to be. Then mail it back to me.

What you gain is the knowledge that my pipes will be an easy upgrade fro you and everyone with this KERMA turbo option as well as they will fit the OEM turbo and SS17's.

If I don't nail down the particulars now that will accommodate that turbo outlet, at the least a custom hose will be needed if not another pipe design. Considering how few of this style turbo there are as compared to OEM VNT-15's, there is a strong chance that I won't be willing to spend the $$$ making these items as I would never make enough money on them to break even.

Let me know if any of this still doesn't make sense... right now I am still able to change the pipe bends and the hose mandrel molds... once I ship the hose mandrels to the hose manufacturer, it all becomes set in stone.

And now the light comes on! I have been reading of these things but never actually have seen any of them.

KERMA's turbo's or my pipes?

Both. I have been following your thread quite closely. There are several of Kerma's thread I have been reading as well. Haven't seen all this stuff together at one time before. Even though I am a "veteran" I'm not.

Now what sexy is

a nice ceramic coating on the manifold

Ceramic is damn sexy. Too bad I had to put a clutch and belt service into my budget this month or I would have that and an upgraded compressor. Stupid routine maintenance.

On a side note I got the turbo in my car today. It was a huge PITA, I had a stripped bolt that I had to grab with some vice grips to pull out. But its done. It went much faster after my dad stopped in and helped. The extra set of hands helps greatly. This swap took me about 10 hours (but I want to add that I'm not a very mecanical person.)

As for the cost effectiveness of this mod the jury is still out, I haven't gotten my nozzles installed yet or my tune uploaded to the car. But I will keep everyone posted as I am sure there are some considering mods simular to what I have.

Swaintech does nice work

My coating has held up perfectly. It's been over two years now. IMO well worth the modest cost.

The exit ports on the exhuast and intake ports are soo dang close that alot of heat transfers. My intake manifold doesn't get as warm. On cold days the intake manifold says very cool. That has to be good for more power, lower EGT since it is sucking in cooler air, etc etc
