ok i took a pic of the manifold and turbo mounted on my other engine, From the pic I'm pretty sure you can work out how the engine sits in a RWD format, Dunno how good the pic will come up as it was done on my mates camera phone.

P.S. The housing still has to be turned but i havnt got that far yet.

Yeah it clears alot, Wouldnt be able to use it in a FWD as it sits so high, I love how the turbo sits non-parallel to the engine :jamie:

He wouldn't come at it, sooooo. Any links for stuff similar to yours? Sadly the slant bit will screw me for using the factory Nis-an dump pipe and make the hot side a bit close to the starter motor (something I try to avoid lest hot starts become impossible). Anyone else help with turbo manifolds folds for a 16v, thnks.

Umm i think that the standard 4AGE exhaust would have more heat problems than this would.

Hi,

With heat and the starter I would imagine a turbo hanging there will be the same as there run at same heat so I'd say it will create no problem

 

Off Topic comment: Also with your home made turbo jet you spoke about Sbox what turbo did you design one around? Also you make a pure micro turbine out of one or just build a combustion chamber for a turbo? Also anything off a car motor makes CRAP jets use truck turbos as u will enjoy it more and u can trust me there :jamie: ..lol

Its a highmount turbo, the heat is above the starter and wont go near the starter housing unless u make some dumbass exhaust that goes to the front of the car.

IF you want to fit it to a 16v, redrill the outer two holes. Fits on like this:

There manifolds are templated to a 20v.

 

Just make sure you brace the turbo up because these are we known to crack.

Thanks Trev, picture looks OK but I couldn't see much detail. Does it clear everything, with enough room on the hot side so as not to cook anything?. I got hold of the bloke that sold the manifold to me and he said that the 20v is a 4AGE so technically he hasn't done any false advertising, he also said he would be happy to give me my dough back. So thats pretty good from a financial side of things, I am not going to drill or die grind the bolt holes though as I can see some problems down the road with that approach. So I still need a manifold. He gets the flange plates premade and does not have a template for the 16valve. I have asked him if I send my own flange plate to him, if he is interested in doing the pipework. If he is I'll take my cardboard template and some 10mm flat bar off to Lasercut. Will keep you posted as to how it all pans out.

Nah even though it is easy enough he doesnt wanna do it.
