Hello everyone.
I am having a problem right now that maybe you all can help me with. I have a KU Engineering intake manifold on my JDM GT-FOUR Celica (this manifold is a replica/knock off of the JUN intake manifold made for the 3SGTE, but they were never sold here in the US). My manifold has cracked beyond repair around the runners, and it cannot be fixed - it must be replaced. I can not seem to find another one of these manifolds for sale anywhere. If anyone has one they would like to sell, or know where I can buy another, please let me know! The manifold I need looks as such: My current manifold looks like this (yeah it's cracked pretty bad - 500 awhp will do this to you) Thanks for any help. -------------------- 1995 JDM Toyota Celica GT-FOUR

The manifold was welded/fixed before. When I bought this GT-FOUR, the old owner told me there was a leak in the mani, but that he fixed it. Upon taking it out, I noticed some of the bolts that connect the mani to the head were missing.
I think a combo of stress/weight from not being put on their properly and 23 lbs of boost through that sucker caused it to crack. I'm not sure if fixing it will work, as I'm sure down the line it will just crack again. I would like to replace it, but if I can't find another one, I'm going to get it actually repaired - not just weld cracks, but reweld a whole new bottom on. -------------------- 1995 JDM Toyota Celica GT-FOUR
