custom manifolds needent be that expensive

[Guest elwe]

See if you can have a look at the PPC article on building your own turbo manifold. It isn't that hard because flow isn't critical like with an inlet manifold because the gas is under pressure and the turbo is going to put a fair bit of back pressure in anyway.

I have a copy of the PPC article, let me know if you want me to scan it and email it to you.

Am I the only person that remembers discussions from a while back about some Transit turbo-diesel exhaust manifold fitting a Pinto?

 

There was something about the turbo interals being a different material to those that would be used in a petrol motor and not withstanding the temps.

 

Or am I dreaming?

Edit - knew I'd seen it somewhere. Worth further investigation methinks.

Eric,

 

If you're sending out a scan can I be CC'd. I'd like to read that for interests sake.

 

Cheers,

Yes please Eric, that would be great

 

Turbo Diesel manifold sounds intesting, must investigate further.............

[Guest juat]

If this is a help PM me. As you are only in Coventry, I can lend it to you.

I will get this rusty one sent out soon... not much time at present & no transport (don't fancy carrying a lump of iron on the bike!)

 

Dan

[Guest Dan_Beeston]

Stuart, PM sent

 

Dan, no rush

I've found the mags, so will scan them and email articles this evening (hopefully)

Eric

[Guest salty_monk]

Great

[Guest erichetherington]

Well I found the articles, I've scanned them in and made a zipped file to email out but it won't attach and, for some reason unknown to me, even when I try to attach one page at a time it won't do that either. Any suggestions gratefully received but if you are going to explain how to do things on a computer please assume you are dealing with an idiot! It saves time in the longh run.

Attach as an email, or attach on here? I don't think ZIP files are allowed as they can be used to have autorun viri etc. If you want to email them to me "matthew at dps-uk-com" replace at with @ and - with . I'll post them up

[Guest ScotMac]

Sorry...guess that article mustve been quoting that the naturally aspirated (NA) heads were the same exhaust porting, not the turbo ones. In fact, i read a bit about the 2.3l NA guys doing the turbo conversion, and they appears to always take the entire engine and the tranny. Here are some threads on it, if you are interested (mustang II based):
