Manifold for on-center housing?

What manifolds can be used with a .96 on center turbine housing?

Will the HKS cast work?

FC?
FD?
I know it doesn't work on an FD, cause the turbo ends up hitting the frame rail.

yep, FD

I was afraid of that. I did some test fitting with an SSA manifold (hold the boo's), and it hit the frame rail. Looks like I'm gonna have to bite the $200 bullet for a new housing, at least I'll be able to go with divided, and a smaller a/r.

Thanks for the quick reply

Which manifold is that? Also I'm not aware of any 1.00 on center housings, did you think I just thought it wouldn't fit because of the "large" a/r?

That is not an on-center housing... it is a tangential.

yeah, i know tangs will fit, with the HKS and the SSA, but on-center is the issue, I'm thinking it's not going to work no matte rhow I try to swing it, I even though about changing the angle of the flange on the SSA but that won't even be enough.

Going to a tang, to make life simpler.

That is the best way to do it. On-center housings suck **** anyway.

if I was p-trim my options would be plentiful, unfortunately I'm q-trim (although i believe this will be a good thing once all the parts are bought )
