Does anyone have a Sunfire/Cavlier 2.4L turbo manifold for sale, or knows where I can get one custom made, thanx.

We can attemp. Probably would not have time at the meet. PM me if your interested and We can start looking into flanges and ----.

The only thing I can see is that the turbo would sit at the rear of the engine Correct? It's gonna be a lot of fun custom on car work for the DP.

If you can get an extra header you could probably get away with a cast home made manifold, Josh, you can weld cast right?

Anyway I'd look in to it, I know a guy who made his log manifold for an accord like this, he used a combination of cast iron water pipes 2 90* elbows and 2 T's and a section of threaded pipe he cut the pipe in to three 1" pieces and threaded the pipe on to them using the flange for alligment so it looked like (elbow)(T)(T)(elbow) and then he welded around the threads and welded everything to the flange which used to be an old manifold. then he used a cutter and cut in between the 2 T's and welded in his turbo flange.

they were birdshit welds but they held really good. and he drove around on it forever untill he sold the car and took the turbo off.

Now I'm not saying to do this, there are elbows and T's available but you can still use an old mani as a flange incase you dont find any flanges made for your specific application.

I can weld cast, but in no way will I quarenty it won't crack down the road. I did my adaptor to my turbo, held strong for 2 years. It's not fun, It's smokey as hell, and it doesn't look good, but I can do it hopefully. We threw out our 50+yr old Arc, So I'm limited to less amperage now.

Thanks guys, I'm trying to get a hold of an old mani from the junk yard, (Standard Auto Wreckers) if you ever heard of them, you go there and open your own ----, I got 2 turbos from there yesterday, one of a 1988 Saab 9000 and the second of a 1992 Volvo 740, I'll be selling one of them as I'll only need one, may be I'll sell them both since I'm thinking of getting a second car to turbo, since I can't do much with the sun fire, and there isn't lot of mods out there for it, ex. I only saw a turbo mani from ebay for it once, and that was 3 months ago.

now sorry guys, I don't understand this, I never welded before except for copper pipes , I'm hoping you guys can teach me a little about it at the meeting
