it should hold up fine.  I am going to add a support to help hold the weight.  The stock manifold is pretty thick imo.

Sounds wonderful, but I need an A/C. I wonder how hard it would be to move the a/c lines as stated previously...

I don't think it would be too hard to move the lines, obv. you will have to refill the ac though

I want it just like this guys :P

He said something about selling them for 300.... that might be pounds though since hes from the uk.

Im sure there isnt too much difference between the s14 and the m42 on the exhaust side.

a lot has happened since m42 went down, but we are prob going to have a guy that does race development for porsche/bmw weld these up for us.  I'm working on a design in 3dsmax but its not done yet.  Here is the rough model
 
What do you guys think?

I think the answer we have all been looking for has just showed up.

Go take a look at 666fabrications website in the turbo manifold section, m42 manifold coming soon.  :D

w/ a $750 price tag he can forget it.  I doubt he will sell more than 5

If the build quality is as good as the other manifolds on his sight it seems to be about on par with the stuff full-race is doing for the import crowd.  You cant touch one of their manifolds for less then 1099, and they sell a lot more then 666 ever will.

750 to me is a decent price for a tubular one off manifold.

I cant wait to take a trip up there and see what he's got so far.

Here is a good cheap alternative. Got to ebay and look at the E36 turbo manifold. The last three ports are on one supply pipe and the front three are on individual pipes to the collector. If you modify the last three ports for cyl.s 4 5 and 6 you can use it on an M42 and it would place the turbo in a good spot. These manifolds are around 200 dollars all day long and are stainless. You just need some one that can weld stainless which is not imposible. If you dont cut these last three ports off of the flange and then modify the pipes you will keep the same bore spacing as well. Then after you get the whole thing welded cut the flange between the individual cylinders to allow for expansion of the stainless steel which expands far more than mild steel. Oh ya did I mention they are cheap. You can also find chinese made T3 turbos for under 200 dollars all day long as well.

well dang nice find, is the spacing and size of the holes in the flange of the m50 and m42 the same?  So all we need to do it remove the last two pipes and clean up the last pipe where we take off the other pipes?  And it will just bolt up?
 
I have a guy up here that has a tig and could do this for us.  So we could do a GB or something....

M50 and the M42 are the same bore spacing and the same exhaust ports.

Cool deal!! Thanks for bringing this to my attention Dino. I'll contact them and see if they want to help us out. I know that SSautochrome is in NC and I'm pretty sure that XS is the same brand or people. If they are then I could pick up some for everyone!!
 
 
edit: it looks like SSautochrome has the same manifold but only sold as kits, but I contacted them anyway.  I'll let you guys know when I hear back from them.  Cross your fingers everyone!!!1!
