20V Turbo Manifold instead of 20v manifold?

[fastrax203]

I was just pondering this...Could I use this ebay Turbo manifold, T25 type so no external wastegate flange, as a replacement for the 20v manifold and just run a 4bolt t25 mating flange and create the exhaust from that point back? It looks to me like this was designed to be an equal length running header for the turbo, I'm just trying to find options to get around having to make a flange to mate the 4-2 section of the 20v exhaust. or should i just go with a FWD header and mod the flange to fit the 20v? here's the pic of the turbo manifold in question





that's it mounted. second question is, would this have issues with the cooling lines required to run the 20v? it looks like it might because of how high they rise. any input guys?

Kameleon should have an adapter available for mating the 20v header to the 16v bpipe shortly.

With the header in the picture, I think there will be clearance issues in the mr2.

that's what i was thinking as far as clearance goes. im hoping kameleon gets his adapter plate done soon, im thinking i'll just get a fwd header.

I am working as fast as I can. I have 10 thousand things going on at the moment and I am planning on doing final fabbing on the prototype adapter Sunday if possible. We have it running on the car now just needs some tweaks to pass our quality control.

I see your order was delivered. I hope you like the fuel line. Feel free to do a product review on our site if you have time.

perhaps there will be an initial group buy?.........

[kameleon]

As soon as I get the final fab done on the prototype and it is to our liking we will do the groupbuy on the adapter. That way we can get them done at a reduced cost and can pass the savings on to you.

thats what I'm talking about!

The biggest savings would be if we were to get 10-15 people. I guess I could get the pricing together and start a groupbuy. I am kind of debating on weather it is better to do an adapter or a full header. Hmmmm... lol

well this thing that is being fabbed is it for a stock st exhaust to a stock exhaust or that manifold to the stock or what? and how much would it be to use the stock st manifold and get a exhaust shop to make me a whole system with my choice of muffler?

[kameleon]

What we have made adapts the 20v header to use the 16v exhaust. Depending on your location on how much a shop would charge you to fab a full exhaust. The y-pipe is the most expensive part. Most shops charge anywhere from $200-$300 for just that. And then you still have to fab up exhaust.

<~~~ still waiting patiently for the 20v adapter. This is all that's keeping me from doing my swap, that and the cooling line kit (whenever that's available)
