(dont tell me to search....i no longer search if im lookin for turbo stuff because in every thread on this forum the word turbo is used)

will the FD manifold work like the FC...just by ovaling out the hole? thanks

brad

 

okay turbo.
answer to your question, is NO.

 

thanks

 

Uh, why not? All 13B turbo manifolds use the same bolt pattern. I can't say that it won't interfere with the intake, but it will certainly bolt up if you enlongate the hole. There appears to be plenty of space to do this...

 

see thats wut i thought too...thanks man...dont worry about the intake...ill make an adapter to go b/t the turbo and the manifold to get some more room. thanks alot man...lata

Brad

 

what turbo would you use?

 

You mean what 2 turbos. He did say an FD manifold right? they are for twin turbos, and therefore he can use 2 turbos.

 

yea, but the turbos are weird, you can branch one turbo off of it (or so it looks). i dont see why it physically woudnt work?

 

I really don't know much about the turbo system on an FD and really don't know the layout of the turbos on the manifold. So I guess I can't say much about it.

 

the FDs came n/a turbo or twin turbo...the turbo and twin turbo use the same manifold...just a t4 foot print for the turbo and a external wastegate....the original idea was to go twin turbo...but now im gona go with just a big single...setup if gona be a blow through on a 12a im rebuildin. im still debating intercoolin it or not...iv gota this weird idea in my head to have both....ill try to explain it..


ok there will be tubing from the turbo to the carb hat...entering on the right said (lookin from front of car) but on its way up it will T off and go to intercooler then out of intercooler and enter carb hat on the left...there would be valves to seperate when the intercooler was used or not....i would put on right after the T and right before the carb hat on the right(when closed make air go into T and into intercooler...then one IN the T and on the left of carb hat(when closed bypassing the intercooler. all this woudl be operated by a button ... does this make sense? also would it have a good purpose??? when bypassing the intercooler would reduce turbo lag...and when not would be producing more HP...right? tell me wut u thing. thanks

Brad

 

sorry double post

 

Why bypass the intercooler at all? Just use it all the time. I don't see why you can't or wouldn't. Most people just go from the turbo to the intercooler to the carb hat. I don't know why you are thinking about all this complicated bypassing stuff.

 

ive been looking for a bigger picture for some time now, but thats the best i can do. however, you can see that it comes off one flange, so one turbo can be fed off the manifold, or so it seems.


next obstical would be finding out if its a standard size flange, or something weird? you might be better off just getting a normal manifold.


edit: i just read your post. WHY would you go through all that trouble just to save a couple hundred rpm's in spool time? something like that would be totally custom, might leak, and probably wouldnt be worth the effort, much less effective. not to shut you down, but i dont see getting any real benifits out of that setup

 

see i was lookin for this kind of input...just wondering if its any good. it would be free for me....my bro can get me valves and do all the PCL programing to make them open/close at certain RPMs and would NOT leak....it was just an idea....but i might still do it just to do something different...... so did yall actually understand wut i was sayin....i reread it and said to myself "WUT THE F-CK" thanks

ALL FDs were twin turbo

 

Not sure where you get your info from but it's pretty much dead wrong. FD's only came in twin-turbo form and and they use internal wastegates. You might as well forget about using a *stock* FD manifold on a 1st gen. An aftermarket single turbo manifold for an FD is a different story.

That's about the dumbest idea I've heard.

 

...i guess it was just something the dealer did here...cuz my bro bought a 96 n/a new...i promise it has no turbo.....and im using a aftermarket manifold.....and u coulda just said it wasnt a good idea....not thats its dumb cuz its not...it would work...just not pratical..***

 

 

Ive been thinking about a BOV bypass lately....... so you could rev at someone, and they would think youve got nothing, then you hit a switch, and blow them away.

 

funny stuff....u dont have to believe me....maybe im just a dumbass...i have no idea....(no smart *** comments about this post aight)

 

(insert smartass comment here)

 

 

FDs were only imported to the US from 1993 to 1995 (very rare to find 94s and 95s) and they were all twin turbo. So you can understand why everyone is giving you flak. If you still think your bro has a 96 N/A why don't you show proof?

 

why are u being an *******?? y is that B.S? and dont hold back i really wanna know

 

BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL TWIN TURBO

simple as that, all of them. period.
