2g eclipse manifold question!!!!!!

[DXR]

okay, so my factory manifold has 2 really small cracks in it. I'll be doing a 16G upgrade with all the normal goodies with DSMlink on the automatic spyder... anyone here suggest I just keep putting jb weld or hondabond on it as i go along? :gross: :gross: :gross:

i don't wanna get a new manifold!!!

[BOOSTonU]

i would spend the money on a new manifold...but then again, depends how bad the cracks are...my girls car has a crack...but doesnt seem to be leaking...

[DXR]

what do you guys think about iron welding???

[DXR]

Thanks... it's just that i'm n00b to DSMs so I just dunno who or what to believe just yet. I'm thinking about getting it iron welded... what do u think?

[Matticus]

if you want another manifold lemme know, i have an extra one that was only on the car for about 5k. 100 bucks obo, cost 225

[97accord]

yeah, you might get by fine with that...but i would keep a close eye on it...if it gets worse...there is an excuse to upgrade...get a custom manifold, or an evo mani...good luck with the turbo upgrade etc.

[DXR]

thanks. and matticus... i would get urs but i just don't have the $$ sorry.

If you're on an extremely tight budget, have it welded. It'll cost you max $50?

[DXR]

yeah, that's what i was thinking. Know of any shops that can cast iron weld?
