Cheers, but no PN on your receipt? There are about 4 different manifolds, so usually when you phone someone up they have NFI which is which.

Finished yet?


Instead of having a blown v8, you now have a hairdryer to go with your pink handbag - quite fitting really

Trust me, he'll tell you which manifold

Its not factory Isuzu, I believe they're his own, he also has a website

Turbo-Glide: Welcome to Turbo Glide

Same manifold as JC

Will be finished with any luck in a fortnight, still awaiting intercooler, which needs some "minor" mods when I get it. Not quite up to my speed, but no ****er stocks anything local, had to make dump flange, make.........blah blah

I don't think the Isuzu will sound quite the same in Mandrel 3"

You mean no LPG Will have Jerry holders on rear bar and sill tanks if I can find some. The SuZu should have turbo whistle with 3" My 4D56T Mitzu has 3" and it howls.

If they aren't an Isuzu factory manifold, they're a direct copy.

I have one just the same (not yet fitted), it was from a 4BD2 which cracked it's head and got parted out.

How much you want to bet???

I just went and bought one from ISUZU. $310+GST And that is the PERTH price. East coast is probably $50 less. I can post a pic if you want me to prove it is the same.

Thanks Dougal and Matt - that has probably saved me making a custom manifold.

And for the record, the parts guy said it fits an NPR59 '89 on (4BD1T). Can also post PN if anyone is interested.

EDIT - here are some pics - showing PN for anyone interested:
