august Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 that makes sense as far as joining the pipes as far back as possible.. i know there were some turbo 911's that had a big oval opening exhaust tip, and a small oval opening inside the big one (positioned on the side) which was the wastegate exhaust. haha so sweet..

NorPug Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Have anyone tried to fit other turbos? Would be nice if a nissan, honda e.t.c. turbo could fit. (with an T3 adapter on manifoil). Heard about a guy that mounted a turbo from av Volvo (if i remeber right). The turbo bolted directly on the manifoil but he had to remanufacture the engine mount and tilt the engine 3 inch upwards to make it fit. Not the best solution but it did work. My turbo has pushed aprox 1,1 bar for a while now and starting to get tired, so im looking for a replacement and more air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My turbo has pushed aprox 1,1 bar for a while now and starting to get tired, so im looking for a replacement and more air the manifold is peugeot specific and is unfortunatley not compatible with anything else (i've done quite a bit of searching and research with turbo shops and have yet to find anything. sure would be nice if we could though). running an adapter i've considered but you'd have to customize the bottom mount / motor mount like your friend did.. and if i'm going do that much work, i'd rather do something *cool*. the next 505turbo.com project car is going to have an upgraded turbo, so keep your eyes peeled. a few the members of this board have made custom manifolds which look damn cool.

Guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Yep, I'd ditch the original manifold. (apparently, so I did... ) And fabricate/have a new one fabricated. If you can get the flanges cut, the rest is just cut & paste... I could make exhaust manifolds all day long, if I had proper equipment to cut the flanges. With crappy manual boring and milling machines it's pain in the ass. BTDT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metako Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Garret GT2871R with .64 exhaust housing is meant to be a terrific turbo with minimum lag and up to 280kw at the wheels! Has a 71mm compressor wheel and dual ballbearing centre. Is available with both T25 and T3 flanges I think. $1195 US. Also how about this for a exhaust manifold!!! Its a split pulse manifold wih an Evo IX turbo on the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Looks quite ok, but did those guys run out of tube curves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
august Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 that turbo looks/sounds absoloutley kick ass. if i had money as WELL as enough skill to make a custom manifold i'd be all over it hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metako Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Yes I agree. One of the EVO turbos S/H may be a more affordable option at about $250 US and able to flow 250-260kw at the wheels and with excellent spool up. I'll follow this option up a bit more in the near future I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
