hks cast manifold question

Hi will a borg warner s362 turbo fit on a hks cast manifold without hitting the strut tower of an fd rx7.
Thanks

I used the HKS manifold with my S366 and it worked fine but the turbo is mounted lower than with a custom manifold. I did have to bang on the strut tower to flatten it slightly. Its tight but with a few hits it'll fit.

A little lower like I said but not bad at all.

Very nice indeed; I've been debating on switching from my pt6176 to S366. Hows the response and numbers? Also what did you do for the marman flange?

Did you have to put the indent in the strut tower or frame rail just to clarify. How much did you have to indent the strut tower to make turbo fit, is the s362 turbo the same size as s366.
Thanks

The s362 and s366 are the same size. You just have to bang the area around the cold side cover slightly and then it's good to go.

So just to clarify was it the frame rail or strut tower you had to bang out. Also any way you can get a close up pic of were you put the notch. So how do you like your set up so far with the hks cast manifold.
Thanks
