Question 13b-re ... Manifold options?

On the re motor, what manifolds can be used for a gt40 turbo? I'm pretty sure that any fc manifold will work, but the fd manifolds (hks, cheapies on ebay) are divided and look like they'd flow a lot better.

What have you guys had luck with?

any manifold will work on the RE as oppossed to 13b and rew.. it had twins just like the rew so it will fit them all. just make sure the comp housing doesnt hit the manifold and or frame rail.

yeah that's my main concern is clearance with the lim. I guess there's one way to find out...

Im using the HKS for the FC on mine, and everything clears fine.. You have to be running a rediculous size turbo for it not to clear since i've seen up to a T72 fit just fine with plenty of clearance.

I've test fitted an EBay divided manifold on my RE and it fits fine w/ a spacer. If you don't use a spacer, then any T4 turbo or larger will hit the LIM. RacingBeat sells an exhaust flange that works nicely as a spacer.

Are you sure that's not the compressor? That's tiny, .81 P trim is about the smallest I've seen on a Rotary...
