yea all the vigor and 2.5 TLs runs on a 5 cylinder 20 valves.
It sits stright like a RWD but runs on front wheel. LOL

i don`t see why you couldn`t do a log but if the stock header collector sits at the right position i would just weld a flange on it.

I have a 97 2.5 TL and have been looking into what it would take to boost it. I don't think welding a flange is possible due to space constraints, but I think relocating the battery to the trunk and making an extension pipe from the exhaust mani with the flange on it would work. Here is a pic of the exhaust manifold

I think your best bet would be to make a top mounted log mani. Those trannies on those things are goofy as ---- looking and look like a major PITA to take off.

I was thinking what if i took off the pre-cati and put the turbo there... cause the turbo i have has a o2 sensor on the exhuast side... so i can just hook it up there... what about that?

I highly doubt it.

I've never seen one. Do the ports match up? how about the bolt holes? It's just like anything else, you have to get ahold of one and see.

get ahold of jgs and see if they can get a you a manifold kit, its a really good deal if you can weld. i bet that 5 cyl would turn heads on 7 psi , i wanna see how it does. ive seen awd volvos that were 5 cyl and they could fry all 4 . i am sure the acura would run at least as good.

sorry but JGS ?? im ganna do this the guy at the xtream car saloon said he would do my oilpan for 150 that hour of work so im all for that... im ganna ask alot of questions when i start thats for shure i think the mani off t5 should match up... as for the holes ill drill... but if it dosent match up ill have to log it i guess... cause all that engine is is mine turned sideways.. 2.5 5 inline so i think it should work..
