Ok,

after seeing people posting about buying a OBX SS manifold dvided from OBXracingsports.com

people have started asking questions on wheather this will fit on a FC

http://www.teamfc3s.org/forum/showth...6414#post86414

after trying to do some research i hvae found out that HKS Stainless Steel manifold dviided is the same one used on both FC and FD.

Looking at SRmotorsports.com their cast divided manifold too is also used on FC and FDs.

Now the question remains to be see is, can this manifold be used on FCs. If yes, what modifications will this require? ie space plate, (using RB flanges and welding this onto the manifold's flange such that bigger turbos can clear fine), trimming something in the car?

has anyone got any opinions? does anyone have one in their hands that they can do some rough measurements with?

All your help is much apprciated.

i have one. what measurements do you need?

 

some measurements like these woudl be good...

 

and this as well

 

Where is everyone getting this manifold?

 

Mostly off of ebay, but I imagine that you could get it elsewhere as well.

 

meaurements: 1st pic width= 6.5" , distance(overall, from outside edge of wastegate flange to outside edge of turbo flange)=15" 2nd pic height=7.5" . hope this helps-garrett

 

thanks
if you guys are buying these thigns for 175... i'm tempted to buying and just seeing how much it doesn't fit by on a Fc and what i can do about it

 

picture of manifold installed on motor with turbo would be nice....

 

Here is the website of the guy's company whom is sell the manifold on EBAY: http://www.obxracingperformance.com/index.itml

Now He does not have a Pic up yet of the Rx-7 single turbo manifold but he sells it. That is where I got mine from. Click on,"contact us" on his website and he is a nice guy I think he will answer your questions in some form of way.

Working on it!!!!

Pictures of a OBX Manifold with a Garrett TS04 mounted in a FD. Started a New Thread.

does the dividing plate just help for spool up or something? most manifolds i have seen besides twin scroll setups don't have one...

 

what all the FC owners would like is the manifold and a turbo mounted in a FC

 

That manifold looks nice. Bling bling.

 

Count me in for wanting to know.

 

I have mine and Dale Clarks engine on an engine stand with the intake manifolds installed. I am going to try to bolt it and a few differnet sized turbine housings up soon to see if it fits.

Daniel

 

what down pipes are you guys using with this manifold? do the xs or hks down pipes bolt right up? from what i could find it seems the actual manifold is exaclty the same right?

 

There are no bolton downpipes as far as i know, you are going to have to make one.

Daniel

 

i probably shoulda clarified... i have an FD.. do you know if any would work?

 

Bad news, the manifold does not fit on an FC as is. The 1.15 A/R exhaust housing still hits the intake manifold and even with a racing beat spacer looks like it will. We are exploring having some sort of spacer machined to fit the turbo side of the manifold too.

Daniel

 

Hey black FC have you tried to see what turbos fit this manifold?

 

There are no bolt up downpipes for any custom turbo setup (which is what you're doing if you're building your own setup) so you will have to buy a flange and have one made once you get everything bolted together.

 

ahh i see... i just didn't know if you could use the hks or xs downpipes since the obx is supposedly just a copy off of that turbo manifold... so i was just wondering if i used say a t04e if the manifold was the same as the xs one if i could just buy the xs downpipe... guess this is a big no though huh?
