Re: Made the change to S/S manifold

GT350, The YB is one of the most popular engines to fit over here, but parts are now expensive and 450 to 500 bhp is about the max that they can put out with spending big money. Very nice though :y

I got the Sohc motor turbo'ed last year. It was a tight fit in the engine bay it get the T3 and intercooler in. The only problem i had was running the stock ECU as it has an airflow meter and i fitted the wrong type blow off vlave. I ended up blanking it off it get it running. That will be changed soon as i have fitted a Megasquirt ECU.
A few pics of the Red Escort's engine bay, new manifold and ecu not fitted yet.

This is what is fitted to the Sierra(XR4ti). Its a 2000cc Dohc 8V motor and not very tuneable. So that too will be getting a T3 for a bit of that boosted power.

Re: Made the change to S/S manifold

What type and size of tubing did you use and where did you get it and how much? Im getting ready to build a custom turbo setup for my brothers 92 VW GTI and the last manifold i made was too thin and cracked.

Re: Made the change to S/S manifold

I used 1 1/4" shed 10 Stainless weld elbows and T's. You should get them at any pipe supplier

Re: Made the change to S/S manifold
