turbo manifold $$$?
okay, i'm tired of looking, and can now agree that no one makes turbo manifolds for the 1.6 sohc (except racing mazda). Does anyone know how much I should expect to pay to have one custom built? Is there ANY car out there that has a manifold that would interchange???( sorry i had to ask)
thanks
thanks

Re: turbo manifold $$$?
You can make your own for little $ if you can weld. JGS Precision Turbo Has all of the manifold stuff that you would need. Also a lot of the Oil lines and other stuff. Or you can go from scratch. Racing Mazda is just a simple one that can be made farely easy. I was talking with my friend who welds and is a machanic and he said " Those manifolds are easy to build. $75 in supllies and some welding and i could make you one with just as good flow." I however am getting a BP engine then turboing that down the line. Racing Mazda has done a lot of research on their manifold thou...

Re: turbo manifold $$$?
if you get one made, just get a log style manifold. granted they aren't as pretty, but they work good enough for what you need, and cost a lot less.Originally posted by Alex V.:

Re: turbo manifold $$$?
If you have a McMaster-Carr catalog and have the equipment to cut the two necessary flanges and can weld I've made a turbo manifold for the SOHC for about US$80 in materials. Unfortunately if you have to pay someone to do it for you. You would be looking at 5 to 8 hours labor on top of that.

Re: turbo manifold $$$?
will it really? I always thought it would fit the DOHC. thats good news then, i'll be boosting at the end of the monthOriginally posted by OsoSlo z28:
you must not have looked very hard, i did a search for "sohc turbo manifold" and came up with a few topics that gave you options.Originally posted by Alex V.:

the b6t manifold will fit the sohc. if you get one made, just get a log style manifold. granted they aren't as pretty, but they work good enough for what you need, and cost a lot less.

Re: turbo manifold $$$?
i apologize, it seems as my memory served me incorrectly. you were right in thinking the b6t only fit dohc, as the bolt patterns are different.

Re: turbo manifold $$$?
does anyone know if the exhaust ports will match up from the DOHC and the SOHC? if the ports match up, but the bolt pattern is different, i can still work w/ it ( a lot cheaper to get the holes made then it is to have the whole manifold made)
Re: turbo manifold $$$?
Very very close but not exactly the same. Nothing a little bit of porting wont fix. My plan was to find a log style 1.6L turbo manifold and drill new bolt holes or elongate them to fit my sohc. Test fit the turbo everything first for clearence issues first.
