I'm looking into a new top mounted turbo manifold for my wagon. The car currently has an hy35 on a skuce manifold. I was in the middle of rebuilding my turbo and I realized that my oil return is at a horrible angle due to the turbo being to low. At this point I feel the best way to remedy the problem is to get a nice top mount mani. Bp performance quoted me around $1200 and as much as I like the quality of his products I just can't seem to bring myself to spend that. Anyone have an idea or make a nice mani cheaper? How about re flanging say an evo or honda manifold?

I'm buying parts i don't need, With money I don't have, To impress people I don't know.

also I *think* the Evo manifold thing has been done before and IIRC some of those are twin-scroll if you want to get real dumb with it
I thought the evo manifold would work depending on cylinder spacing. Got any examples of people using them?1995 escort wagon gtr/holset

I don't, unfortunately, but I feel like an Evo ram-horn style manifold was something I'd seen on like the Laser or Miata forums. I wonder how close the SR/KA cylinder spacing is- maybe ask Bambi if he's got a spare manifold lying around you could take a look at?sigpic

He feels that his bracing has been why it's lasted. So ebay ones can work but I'd brace them.

4G63 parts can definitely be made to work. The cylinder spacing is close, like +2mm when compared to the BP spacing IIRC. Carlos re-flanges EVO intake manifolds for the BP, exhaust manifold should be a similar procedure....Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI
