Turbo manifold

[koos]

I've got a turbo and an intercooler so far but need a manifold for my M20, I dont mind making the flange but I need a manifold preferably with the outlet to the top and to the front. Any ideas?

Well what sized turbo flange would be a great start ;)

[koos]

Its not the flange that i'm worried about, its the rest of it, holes that line up etc. Is there one from a diesel BMW that fits maybe?

I know nothing about this but have just been reading this it might help

No dude you said you already had a turbo, so you kinda want to know what size the turbo flange is(t3, t25/28 etc) so that you can get a manifold to work with that turbo. Unless of course you just want to junk the turbo that you have brought when you get a manifold with the wrong flange

I think he means he's happy with fabbing a flange adapter, and is more interested in getting a manifold that's a good fit.

[koos]

Thanks Widge, thats what i'm trying to say, so any help? I need a manifold that fits the head and is gonna take a turbo in a good spot, make sense?

[Widge]

TBH mate, if you want it to be really good I think you may have to either buy one of the smart ones made by whichever fabrication company does them over here, or get one from the USA, or make it your self.

You need a manifold that look like this......



only one I've found that lets you still get the plugs out with everything in situ.

[koos]

How much and where from? Looks cast?

[blingsta]

is that one youve got for sale Ant??

If your using a T3 flange turbo then there is alot of manifold available (proturbo, peakboost, 666, TCD, ITG,) and log one ant showed you looks fine the only other cast one ive seen is bottom mount one from TCD. If you want a T4 flange you will have to get a PPF or 666 manifold or a chinese T3 one like I sold to corky and swap the flanges over. Ive got a T4 flage turbo and i was going to order a PPF manifold for £450 but they were to busy last time I asked. My work friend starting a business doing engine conversions pursueded me to make my own which im starting next week, depending on how it goes I might be up for making some more. It will be alot like the PFF or unequal 666 manifold.

You might be able to get an adapter for T3 to T4 but it will probly be about 2" thick so you need to check clearance for your turbo if possible before you waste money on a manifold that doesnt work

[koos]

Thanks for all the info, if I had one to copy it would be good, but it seems it will be cheaper to make my own.

copy that, no twists to mess about with and it works well, make me one while your at it

[Ant]

The log is indeed cast specifically for the M20 turbo application, never found out who actully made them but they were designed for BBR in 1990 ish for their 255 bhp turbo M20 conversion

The one pictured is brand new never been fitted, what a waste huh !

[blingsta]

i may know a friend who might be interested if your selling that one Ant

[Ant]

Maybe tempted, needs a strong offer though dude, no messers need apply, got enough of those already

[Emotechnik]

?

THE DADDY M20 TURBO MANIFOLD

[Ant]

Dont worry Peter ( Emo) that BBR will still be used as discussed, the other will be surplus , could fit it to the touring though... hmmmmmmm
