I want to run a GT35R turbo and i need to know what manifolds will fit into a FB body with a S5 TII engine!!! thanks Steve

 

thats funny, i was comin on to ask the same exact question

Is it okay to use the FD ssac manifold with a s5 13b? or should i get the fc3s one if im swapping a S5 TurboII into my FB, thanks!

 

anyone?

 

you may want to contact A-Spec for advice ...

 

I did and they dont have any!

 

Test fit and see.

 

I cant test fit without buying a manifold first... and if it dont fit then im stuck with a maniflod i cant use.
I was hoping someone could tell me what maniflolds work on there FB's....

 

Hey gonzz!!!! i was told, you are running a GT35R in a FB body. What manifold are you running???? Any info would be great!!! thanks STeve

 

Ummm i'm pretty sure Gonzz has an australian made turbo manifold (wastegate is located further forwards pointing towards the front of the car).

 

customize buy flanges and go to town

i cant say **** i dont have the know how to make one tho hehehe

 

a 3rd gen manifold. Or a Holley if going carb with a racing beat intake. that what i seen from my machanic. He has a 10 sec with a racing beat intake with a 650 holley all motor. Dont know if that helps man

 

isn't there anywhere that you can buy it that would refund your money? Or, like dude said up there, if you have any decent welding ability, you can just cut the flange off, and manipulate it to wherever you want that sucker to point.

 

S&S Autochrome has been making turbo manis for the 2nd and 3rd gens. They had a lot of trouble with the earlier ones cracking but seem to have that worked out with the later ones. I don't know if their 2nd gen mani will fit a 1st gen or not. Do not buy their turbos or wastegates, they are junk.

The other option is to buy some steam pipe weld els from McMaster-Carr, flanges from RB and weld up your own.

Iirc, there was a thread a while back by MoreMazda, (sp), he made his own and it looked very good.

 

I got my from Australia.. RHD car.. Ask Zbeeter...

 

z-beater! Gonzz told me to ask you what manifold your using!!!!

I no have a welding experence!!!

Thanks for all the suggestions!!! Still looking for one!

 

check with Rene at RX3mist.com, he can fab. you up one for your application, but Im not sure what kind of time frame your looking at, as far as when you will have it. I heard he is somewhat behind in work.

 

I forgot about Rene.. He sells a manifold for this application.. I think it's 250 + ship.. I had one butit was for a stock turbo and sold it. He had a T04 manifold a few months ago for sale

if you got something for a Gen II, i don't see whay you couldn't make it work. i used a Gen II manifold (stock) on my car and just had the B-pipe custom made to fit my exhaust system.

something to consider ...

 

HKS cast manifold for a FD. Let me see if I can dig up a few pictures.

 

Here are some pictures. The inlet for the turbo is 4" so I would guess that the overall diameter of the cold side is around 7-8". Once again the manifold is a HKS cast for a FD.

I was wondering if the S&S ones fit in a 1st gen. Good to know, I'm heading in that direction in a month. Which turbo flange did you get and can you post pics of how the wastegate mounts and ties back into the exhaust?

Last question, will the mounting clearences be same for an S4 TII engine as it is for your Cosmo?

 

^ me too...

 

Sorry guys but I'm in NYC till Oct, so I can't take any pics. The wastegate is vented to atmosphere at the moment, but I route it to the exhaust as soon as I get back.

Remember that my my LIM is from an S4 with an adaptor to the Cosmo UIM. So there should be no clearrence problems.




more info later, have to go.
