Anyone know know someone who makes or sells 12A turbo manifolds? I know rotary shack does some stuff, but there site doesnt work?

 

site does work , here is his tel 818 693-1031 just be advice its custom so it could take time, i just got mine today from him but i waited quite a while.

 

+1 for that! You can't adapt the FC's manifold can you?

 

Yeah some people have done it, I think they just welded two RB flanges on to it and then redrilled the holes. Something like that. Search to find more about it.

Also there used to be a guy named Rene (I think) who made manifolds and exhaust systems for that. Sold 'em on ebay. Heard only good things. Not sure if thats still going on though.

 

You can adapt fc manifolds, here's what I did;

 

yeah rene from rx3mist , his not doing this work on ebay no more only on his shop in cali. *** fars the flanges go i move the turbo a bit to close to the fire wall , i would just contact robert at rotaryshack. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...xhpics_002.jpg

boriqua51371, so in that manifold, I see that it goes through the turbo but also has the other port...why?

 

westgate port? is that what you refering too ?

 

Nope it sure doesnt, why would i say it didnt if it did?

 

It doesn't work because you're using an APPLE!!!






Actually, no, it really isn't up right now.

 

site has been down for aalmost 2 weeks.

 

eitherway i gave you his number give him a call, i did post his number once again 818 693-1031

 

Reviving a long since dead thread.. but I have this exact same manifold, and have been wondering how this is supposed to work. Isn't the turbo supposed to bolt on to a header? Where's the rest of the exhaust mani? Do I need something else? I read something about a guy using a 13b upper with a dellorto lower? I'm confused lol. I'm still kinda new to rotary.

 

The large flat surface with the two oval ports on it is where the turbo mounts. Two rotors, two exhaust ports. The longer pipe to the left is for the external wastegate. It works pretty much the same way as any other engine. Downpipe bolts to the back of the turbo and runs to a presilencer and a muffler.

 

Thanks. Makes a bit more sense now. So the downpipe just runs straight to my exhaust from the back of the turbo? Is it bad to run it like that as opposed to an actual turbo header? What's a wastegate do? I've only had one other boosted car and I didn't really need to do much with it.
