3D Printed 316 Stainless Steel Construction

Rather than fabricating the manifold conventionally from a collection of tube bends, collectors and individual sections, the manifold is manufactured using metal additive manufacturing from 316 stainless steel.

3D printing allows the external shape and internal gas paths to be developed in CAD without many of the manufacturing restrictions associated with a conventionally fabricated log manifold.

This allows us to produce a compact manifold while creating smoother internal transitions and a more controlled gas path than would typically be possible with a basic fabricated budget log manifold.

CAD Designed Internal Flow

Traditional log manifolds are often fabricated from straight tube, elbows and abrupt junctions because they need to remain practical to manufacture.

Additive manufacturing gives considerably more freedom over the internal geometry.

The internal transitions of our manifold have therefore been CAD designed with exhaust gas flow in mind, rather than simply joining individual tubes together in the easiest way possible.

It remains a compact log-style turbo manifold, so it should not be confused with a large equal-length tubular race manifold.

The objective here is simple:

Compact packaging, sensible flow and an affordable route to turbocharging a K11.

Three Turbo Flange Options

The manifold is available with three turbo flange configurations, allowing you to select the version appropriate for your intended turbocharger setup.

Please select the correct flange option when ordering.

Turbocharger specifications can vary even within the same general turbo family, so customers should confirm their exact turbine inlet flange and overall turbocharger configuration before ordering.

Nissan Micra K11 Fitment

Designed for use with Nissan Micra K11 CG engine applications.

As with any turbo conversion, overall fitment will depend on considerably more than the manifold itself.

Turbocharger size, compressor housing dimensions, actuator position, intake routing, downpipe routing, radiator configuration and other engine bay modifications can all affect final clearance.

⚠️ IMPORTANT - TURBO MODIFICATION REQUIRED

THIS APPLIES TO ALL THREE TURBO FLANGE OPTIONS.

When installing the turbocharger:

The compressor housing WILL require clocking.

and:

The wastegate actuator mounting arrangement WILL require relocation/modification.

This is necessary to correctly package the turbocharger within the K11 engine bay when using this manifold.

Customers should purchase this manifold on the understanding that the turbocharger cannot simply be bolted on in its original configuration and installed without modification.

The exact wastegate actuator bracket required will depend on the turbocharger being used and should be fabricated to suit the final compressor housing orientation.

After clocking the compressor housing, always ensure the turbocharger's oil feed and drain orientation remains suitable for the turbo manufacturer's requirements.

External Turbo Support Required

⚠️ THE TURBOCHARGER MUST BE ADEQUATELY SUPPORTED

The manifold should not be expected to carry the entire unsupported mass of the turbocharger and associated exhaust system.

A suitable turbo support bracket must be incorporated into the installation.

The downpipe and remainder of the exhaust system must also be adequately supported so that excessive weight, vibration or movement is not transferred into the manifold.

Failure to provide adequate turbo support will void the manifold warranty.

Supporting Components Required

This listing is for the turbo manifold unless otherwise specifically stated.

A complete turbo conversion will require additional components including, depending on specification:

• Suitable Turbocharger
• Turbo Oil Feed
• Turbo Oil Return
• Modified or Turbo Oil Return Sump
• Downpipe
• Exhaust System
• Intake System
• Intercooler & Pipework
• Fuel System Upgrades
• Suitable Injectors
• Engine Management
• ECU Calibration
• Boost Control
• Appropriate Cooling System
• Turbo Support Bracket

The exact requirements will depend on the engine, turbocharger and intended power level.

Professional Installation Required

Turbocharger conversions should be installed by a suitably qualified professional.

Before final installation:

• Confirm Turbo Flange Compatibility
• Clock the Compressor Housing Correctly
• Relocate the Wastegate Actuator Mount
• Check Wastegate Operation throughout its Full Travel
• Verify Turbo Oil Drain Orientation
• Check Turbo-to-Radiator Clearance
• Check Turbo-to-Bonnet Clearance
• Check Intake & Compressor Outlet Clearance
• Check Downpipe Clearance
• Allow for Engine Movement
• Install Suitable Turbo Support
• Ensure the Exhaust System is Independently Supported

Clearance should be checked with consideration for drivetrain movement and thermal expansion, not simply while the vehicle is stationary and cold.

⚠️ DO NOT CERAMIC COAT OR HEAT WRAP

Ceramic coating or heat wrapping this manifold will void the warranty.

Coatings and wraps can significantly alter the way heat is retained and distributed through an exhaust manifold.

Because we cannot control the coating process, coating specification, preparation or resulting thermal behaviour, manifolds that have been ceramic coated, externally coated for heat retention or wrapped cannot be accepted for warranty assessment.

Motorsport / Modified Vehicle Use

This manifold is intended as part of a custom turbocharger conversion.

Turbocharging substantially changes the operating conditions, power output, fuelling requirements and thermal load placed on the engine and drivetrain.

Correct ECU calibration and supporting modifications are essential.

No particular horsepower figure is guaranteed by the manifold itself.

The safe power capability of the vehicle will depend on the condition and specification of the engine, turbocharger, fuelling system, ECU calibration and supporting components.

24-Month Warranty*

This manifold is warranted to the original purchaser on record against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 24 months from purchase.

GizFab's obligation under this warranty is limited to repair, at GizFab's discretion, where inspection confirms evidence of a manufacturing or material defect.

The warranty does not cover damage or failure resulting from:

• Physical Impact
• Accident Damage
• Misuse or Abuse
• Incorrect Installation
• Lack of Adequate Turbocharger Support
• Excessive Exhaust System Load on the Manifold
• Modification of the Manifold
• Ceramic Coating
• Heat Wrap
• Failure or Incorrect Installation of Surrounding Components

The warranty applies to the manifold itself and does not cover turbochargers, engines, exhaust systems, labour, removal/refitting costs, coatings, tuning, vehicle recovery or other consequential costs.
