Has any one here had any experience "massaging" a 13b turbo manifold to fit onto a 12a? Or even a header, did you run into any problems with cracking?

Well a 13b is like 3/4" longer than a 12A, that would mean the exhaust ports and bolts would be all wrong

I think you looking a custom exhaust manifold seems like it would be a LOT less work

 

Pain in the ***.

Mike is right, Go Custom..

From the HKS Manifold thread..

 

AHHH!! 12A Turbo would be nice!

 

Ive heard of people ovalling the holes of a standard 13B Turbo exhaust manifold and bolting it straight up. It's only 5mm difference on each side.

 

i bet you could do it ryan, that or we could make a manifold in my workshop from hell muhahaha

 

I've seen a pic 13B manifold on a 12A turbo. I'm sorry I don't know much about it. I'm pretty sure the car was featured on the online magazine Autospeed about a year and a half ago. I'm sure i saved pics of the car on my PC. I'll have a look for them & post them if i find them.

i have an ad for a turbo kit i'll scan at home. the company doesn't make them anymore. said that they sold the remaining stock to redline performance in california. looked really sweet though.

 

Cartech?
Those are REAL Nice!.

 

that would be it. i want one.

 

If you can get your hands on one, JUMP ON IT.
They are Very Nice and Reliable, and have Decent HP Numbers (250hp) which is great for a first Gen.
