DSM turbo manifolds

[sukkafree63]

I see a lot of the turbo set ups on here are using the dsm turbo manifolds and i was curious if i could use one of the aftermarket ones instead of the factory manifold.

I was also curious as to what year turbo manifolds people have been using from the DSM cars.

Ppl. Often use the 2g manifold because its stronger doesn't crack as easily if your interested I have one for sale and a set of 450 bluetop injectors pm me

I'd rather ban you. Read the rules.

Sorry... to actually answer the question...

The reason why they work is that the ports match up. You have to drill the manifold to make it able to be bolted to the F22 head, so you'd have to do that with stock as well as aftermarket manifolds.

1st and 2nd gen have the same fitment. As said above, 2nd gen had a better design.

haha,lol^^^^

spend the money and do it right the first time

Very true. If you're going to get an aftermarked DSM manifold, just get an aftermarket F22 turbo manifold instead! They DO exist.

Yeah they do exist..but a lot of them have shitty design. Especially if what u want is cast(for strength/durability) most on ebay are either ching chow meow..or log style cast with the turbine flange facing forward= headache for fitment..the dsm is nice because of turbo placement(when flipped not traditional way) aka no hacking of block..

There's a dsm manifold on ebay right now(several actually) that are aftermarket cast..flow better than stock..and have external wg flange built in..also its t3 based not dsm..

Mike..ouch on the ban..but yah gotta do whatcha gotta do..lol..(steps back lightly)

That's the one thing I'm VERY strict about here.

The rules are quite clear.



And respond to my PM dammit!

Yea they may exist but there hard as hell to find and all i wanna do is get one thats made already that will fit the head on my car....beats havin to search for one or have one made for me....some of the ones ive already looked at have a good design and a good company backing them (AKA not ebay im doin this right the first time cause i dont wanna replace my motor or have to rebuild it 500 times).

A manifold won't destroy your engine. The worst it'll do is crack and decrease performance. Though getting quality is never a bad idea.

However, using a manifold made for another car and redrilling it isn't really much better than buying a cheaply made manifold that is actually DESIGNED for the motor.

Well what i was thinkin of doin was gettin one made for the DSm cars and getting an F22 flange and just having them re-welded so i dont have to re-drill the dsm flange....id get one made for my car but i wanna keep my power steering and get rid of the a/c
