I think i need mental help =)
Okay so I ordered a ebay d-series turbo manifold and it came in last week. Well I was excited to test fit it on my motor. Well I tried then I figured out it was a freaking b-series one. Well see I can just send it back and get my d-series one right? Well I was coming up with some crazy idea with my cousin that what we should do is cannibalize my obx header and the turbo manifold. How do you ask? Well our plan is to cut the runners off my obx header while still keeping the flang that bolts up to the exhaust port on the head of the engine. Then do the same thing to the turbo mani. Once the flang is off the b-series manifold we would then weld the d series flang to the turbo manifold hoping it would line up with the head (oh yeah the motor is a sohc ZC) and the turbo manifold runners. We have fabricated some stuff before, but I don't see why it wouldn't hurt to try. So uh yeah open for discussion. Oh if it did work we would reinforce the welds so it doesn't crack on us haha. You guys can say its a waste of time blah blah blah. Whats the point in buying the parts when we have a wirefeed welder, acetelyn tortch, drill press and lots lots of beer and time
