You can use a 13B Turbo Manifold with the bolt holes ovaled out.

Now Search Newbie, Search!

What does this "cutsom" turbo kit contain? I ovaled the holes ona 13b mani but did not do a very good job and the thin metal that is left cracked badly. My solution that is working much better: I took a 13b mani, cut off the ears (with the mounting holes), welded on a 12a header plate I got from Racing Beat. This spaces the turbo just perfect for a weber wrap around style manifold.

Oh I will have pictures posted tomarrow of my set up!!!

I think Sam at Atlanta RX7 has a 12AT manifold.
You'd just have to contact him and see.

Wouldnt think of looking there with the first line of his home page on his site

Atlanta RX7 is the top specialist in non-turbo rotary parts and service. We are by far superior to anyone else when it comes to providing the proper care in maintaining or repairing your naturally-aspirated rotary.

He had some 12AT's come in their awhile back. Not relly what he likes though. He tends to do a lot of 1st gen stuff, and a lot of 2nd gen N/A stuff, since he has a part yard full of them.

Those imported 12A turbo engines came in to Atlanta through "New York Block Exchange". Give a call to information to get the number- they are in GA. They might still have some motors or turbo bits left over.

Not sure where Sam brought them in from. Might have been NYBE. I live right behind it. Would be good to check NYBE and NAD also.
