no it won't fit, because the turbo bolts to it.. on an n/a that would mean a rather LARGE exhaust leak and would also require you to buy a new downpipe to bolt to it, in this case a bit more than just a downpipe..

also, the quality is not as bad as some people say.. i run it on my car with no problems.

slyguy69247

ok i dont understand that all turbos bolt up to the exost manifold so y would it leak more info please

that ss autochrome company apparently sold a turbo kit for a sr20det and someone bought it just to see if it was any good. the turbo was seriosly held together by 2 of the crappiest welds i ever saw and anyone else will probably ever see, i will get the link that i saw this on later. They may have good manifolds though.

exhaust goes through the turbo and then out the downpipe, you are missing a vital extension piece in the exhaust flow in an n/a. why not just buy an n/a manifold?


i just said the manifold was fine.... yep, i sure did.

slyguy69247

do they have n/a turbo manifolds i know how the turbo works and every thing just not sure on the lay out of a rx7 and what parts work togeather i know the intakes and diffent and not to sure about the ekost

Are you trying to boost your N/A? Because otherwise Karack is right and you are going to have a big exhaust leak by running that turbo manifold w/o bolting a turbo to it...

Will it bolt to the car? Yes.

Will the turbo fit? No.

quit giving out false information.

will it work? yes
will it crack right now? plausible.
will it crack eventually? yes.

adrock3217

Will the stock, thick-*** cast iron crack EVENTUALLY? YES, YES IT WILL. Karack has been running his for quite some time, without problem.




Original poster: Dude, you need to spill the beans. Are you trying to turbo an NA? You never implied this, you are making it sound like you are trying to make this manifold into a header.

If you are trying to turbo your NA, then yes, this manifold will fit just fine. If you get the one that works with stock turbo, you can port-match a turbo intake manifold to work on the 6-port engine, and everything will work and function just like a turbo engine. BUT YOU NEED A TURBO! :-O

you're absolutely right, i don't know what i was thinking running it...

here, let me put on my old cracked as **** heavy *** cast manifold back on.

theres a reason why they call it ssautocrap. why not spend the couple hundred extra to get a manifold that isnt as prone to cracking. its your decision. some people have been runing it for years and not had a crack. some people have had it on their car and never cranked the car and the manifolds crack.

i would buy this over anything ssautocrap sells.

I was looking into getting something like this, but I don't think the stock turbo fits. As a matter of fact I haven't been able to find an after market manifold that fits the stock turbo at all.

Anyone know of any?

that was not english. maybe you didn't find any info because instead of "surching" you should have been "searching".

there is a ton of info on turbocharging an NA. information about simply putting a turbo manifold on an NA is non-existent because it's an idiotic thing to do.

um.. it exists. arron cake made a thread about it, and there are even companies that sell na specific turbo manifolds.

alexdimen

iTrader: (13)

so what you're saying is that there is a thread about bolting a turbo manifold to an NA without using a turbocharger made by arroncake? i think you mis-read or misunderstood my statement.

RotaryEvolution

iTrader: (30)

nah, he is just being ignorant if you couldn't tell.

I've seen greddy log style mani's crack...
I've seen HKS log style mani's crack....


I don't see your point? The exhaust manifold on a turbo car has a tonne of wieght hanging off of it, a TONNE of temperature, a tonne of rapid temperature changes, etc etc.....ANYTHING will crack or break over time with enough abuse.

The SSAC manifold could be purchased 3 times before reaching the cost of a brand new log style one from greddy.......just FYI

RotaryEvolution

iTrader: (30)

save your breath, seriously, ask him if he has ever bought and used an SSAC manifold within the last 1.5 years. people around here are like damn parrots and speak what people tell them to say.

SirCygnus

directly from aarons websight.

o and karak, you obviously never delt with more than one ssac manifold. your information isnt valid.

13bturbofc

iTrader: (4)

a guy i know has one of the ssac manifold and he has had it for quite sometime with no problems but he also welded a brace to help suport the weight of the turbo

peachykeenwight

I've personally seen five SSAC manifolds... all of which are perfectly in tact after thousands of miles. Two on FCs, 3 on VWs. Of the 3 that I have actually seen (after being used, mind you), all have looked very impressive.. even very good welds.

I don't think you're giving out very valid information either, unless you base "valid" off of what everyone else says?

PS: Stop being an *******. This is a forum to help eachother out, not try and be smarter than one another.

@ Poster: Just buy headers?

you're either delirious or haven't fully read and comprehended the thread and my statements. aaron does not have a how-to on putting a turbo manifold on a NA. he has a how-to on turbocharging an NA. this goes the extra, and quite necessary, mile by actually putting something on the turbo flange.

earilier in the thread everyone was trying to discern whether or not the original poster was just ignorant and trying to get a turbo manifold for his NA (not intending to put a turbocharger on the car). he was told that it would be a poor idea.

i'm not saying i fully comprehend the thread, i mean it's not easy with jibberish like "posble", "dus" and "crapy", but it sounded like that's what he wants to do.

lol, and i dont even know wtf hes saying.
o well. the fact of the matter is im strongly against anyone even mentioning them as being any bit reputable.
this thread needs deletion.
