you can use a 'j pipe' to keep the stock manifold. no welding of the manifold needed.

i was gonna use that...until i bought a proper tuned length turbo manifold

You could, but would it flow good enough compared to putting the flange on the side of the manifold? No question that it's definatly easier to do the " j pipe ". Was thinking it just after i posted the last post. ROFL. :roll:

if you look on the first page (actually first post) of this topic, you will see that CHEF did the flange on the side of the manifold. so it would be best to ask him about it.

if the flow was almost identical then go the easy way

Been following this thread for a long time now, and yes i have re-read the 1st page and taken a look at the pics. I'd be thinking the manifold with the turbo flange on the side would flow better, but without items to test, that's speculation.

My ignition system is done now, ICE have rebuilt & recurved a dizzy, plus supplying a coil & leads for my Turbo Torana project. Can't wait to get it running again. I'll have a turbo car to play with. :twisted:

Cheers

fella's just spent an hour reading this thread.
CHEF awsome info bro.

I have got a loan and am going to spend about 10g of it on the motor and you have changed my plans from supercharging to going with a turbo.
I will start buying things and should have the car off the road in about two months to start the modifications. i will take step by step pics and will post them on the forum. aiming for 250-300rwkw.
i figure its time to move on from my vl turbo.

WOW!, Firstly, Thankyou for taking the time to do this thread, Bloody unreal, you make it seem so simple.

I will have to consult some mates and the powers that be ( The misus), I was going to buy a 2nd hand XR6T but i may reconsider... Depending what i find in the parts list.

thankyou CHEF.

cheers

If i read that correctly, the answer your looking for is either make a " J " pipe to hookup to the std manifold or you cut up the std manifold to fit a turbo flange onto the side of it.

This post doesn't make a lot of sense, if i think about it, it's looking like your asking " would a twin turbo setup be more complicated? "....

The obvious answer would be " YES ". More complex exhaust manifold or J pipe, more tubing to hide under the bonnet, 2 x turbos, 2 x waste gates, either int or ext, and so on.

On a motor that is has as much torque as for ford I6, i don't really see the point of twin turbo.

I'm making some small progress with my Turbo Torana project, i hope to have it running sometime later this year, pending time & $$$. :twisted:

Cheers
