RX-2 Turbo manifold

Has anyone tried to use a S5 turbo exhaust manifold in a RX-2 with a 13B?

Well....I went with a 12a motor in my RX-2 now. I tried to fit a stock 12at exhaust manifold with a small T3 turbo and it hits the damn body frame. Should I cut the damn thing or work around it? I don't want to spend $300 for a custom exhaust manifold.

if you play you pay.

you would be better off mouting the turbo further forward. use a head light hole as a inlet duct for the turbo..

go and see RENE FRANCO (blue RX-3) at his muffler shop. Pasadena Blvd (2 blocks north of 5 Fwy). across the street from Vons..... He can do it for ya. Be sure to get the exhaust manifold flange from RB (less than $20) plus and the flange for whatever turbo who want. he can fabricate it.
