N54 Hybrid manifold for Single turbo top mount

Echoknight · 03-06-2015, 07:31 PM

This project is underway. I am using the stock manifold to create the single turbo top mount manifold. My original intention was to go with a brand named manifold however i thought i would give it a shot building one using stock manifold and just be out a couple hundred dollars.

I like it good work man, subbed

Interesting...this is what I want to do but leave the turbos down n hook up 2871s

Just some updated photos, still doing some small adjustments.

You mig weld without gloves? Are your hands made of leather?

Looks like he's just doing a tack weld so his hands are okay

Yep, the manifold is ready for full weld and then will be coated with ceramic for a cleaner look.

I've seen projects like this on other platforms where people were making bolt up ST kits to fit the factory twin turbo manifolds and they had good success.
I wish you the best of luck. I'm sure it will work good as long as the welds and material are good. You probably wont make any world record numbers but you'll definatly be ballin on a budget

I'm very interested in this build. Looks very exciting!

The wastegate is towards the top of the merge collector. The tube will channel down along the outlet of the turbo to the exhaust.

Echoknight · 03-08-2015, 05:50 PM

The full weld with the port for the wastegate. .

Selling these? Lol

HouseN54 · 03-08-2015, 06:32 PM

This is so awesome I'm glad someone finally did it. It was my thought a while ago and my friends (TT lsx swaped 69 camaro) to do this. This is what he kinda did was switch the left and right side manifolds, chop the flange and weld some steel tube to mate up to twin 70mm on the camaro. This will work great and be super simple just like cast manifolds on supras.

ts335i07 · 03-08-2015, 07:21 PM

Just curious did you guys try flipping the manifolds upside down?

Compman · 03-08-2015, 09:54 PM

lol I've heard of the LS guys flipping them upside down and mounting twins.

Where are you located?

How much? 😘😘👍👍

Virginia Beach and if there is interest, I would have to see how much $$ would be fair.

What size turbo are you running with a .68A/R exhaust housing? It may say .88 but i cant read it 100%
