Will a N/A upper intake fit on a turbo lower intake?

Ryan

 

Hey can somebody help me out here?

 

Please???

 

If it doesnt't you could always make an adapter plate out of 1/2" thick aluminum

 

I wouldn't think so

 

NO it wont fit

 

Why would you want it to exactly? Turboing an N/A maybe?

I am doing a blow through carb on a 13b, and I am trying to get away with using the stock turbo manifold. This is going into a 1st gen and there is not enough room for a spacer like the ones the N/A - turbo guys are using. Also the stock exhaust manifold places the turbo too close to the engine to use a weber or the full dellorto manifold.

BUT, racing beat makes an upper half manifold that holds the dellorto/weber style side drafts and bolts to the second gen 6-port lower half. My theory is that if the turbo and N/A manifolds can be mixed then the Dellorto/Weber upper half would also fit the tubo lower half.

Does any of this make sense?

Nope, Turbo = 4 port, NA = 6 port.

No ****!!

Okay I will ask this a more simplistic fashion. What is the differance between the turbo and the N/A, upper to lower intake manifold gasket? (bolt pattern, port location)

Ryan

 

Buy both gaskets and find out. Education for $5-10

 

Show me a picture of your turbo manifold and I will show you a pictures of my ' 91 NA manifold. Then you can compare the two.
Blue t2's gasket purchase suggestion is probably the best way to find out.

 

I was hopping to find out before making the purchase. Thank you though for your time.

the difference is huge. the NA sixport UIM has the intake runners spaced alot more than the the turbo LIM. It's a good idea but you would need a helluva spacer to do this with and I think that would cut down on the performance you gain.
