Home brew turbo manifold?

[wicked-vtr]

Hi all, basically I have a standard vts mani knocking about, and a mate of mine is having a bit of a garage clear out and is selling a load of s13 parts.

He has a standard s13 mani, has anyone ever butchered the two together? Iirc I read about someone doing it?
I know it wont work particuarly well, but my plans for a vts turbo are slowly going down the shitter, due to cashflow issues

you dont butcer them together, you can modify one of the 200sx mani's to fit a vts, they may al be the same as the s13 mani, i cant remember, have a search onhere, its been covered before

Cheers for the info, I assumed it would be a cut and weld job.

[blackie_2k5]

nah, dont even think its that bad tbh, bit opening up of the ports and a few new drill holes i think, may be worng though

Just for anyone that's interested, ive Got the s13 manifold here. The port spacing isn't far off but as this is a standard cast unit it will be a right pain in the ass to bend into the right position. If you want to do this you'll need a tubular aftermarket one

[blackie_2k5]

yeah its the after market one you use, theyre about £70 on eby etc

just to stop you wasting your time, if you have cash flow problems dont bother starting. will save you hastle.

if you are going to do it on a very tight budget then dont expect massive numbers.
