f22 TOP MOUNT MANNI idea?!?!

[cb7_with_snail]

tell me what ya think...... its just an idea and a cheap one

Turbo will be sticking out your grill

ok well replace it with a stock f22 manni? its alot shorter

[mcdizzle]

how about not being cheap and just buy a legit top-mount manifold?

[cb7_with_snail]

ok well you send me the 2000$ for that. untill then ill pay 10$ for the porting 200$ for the kustom cutting and welding. and ill save 1790$

great idea if your good at welding and stuff
saves alot of money and would add a sufficient amount of hp being everything was set up right
only prob would be making the "J" pipe as we see more closed in and more curved to fit in the bay or maybe even cuved to the left(looking at bay) for more room clearance

[cb7_with_snail]

ok new idea! yes? no?

[cb7_with_snail]

where is deev's infinite knowlage when you need it?

[cb7_with_snail]

or mabye more curved?

[tm123]

the header would work so much better
screw the dsm manifold its cast and doesnt have flow properties of a tubular header
try the tubular design with the header, but make it curve to the left and up(away from alt. and ps) instead of straight up. seems like there would be mroe room for it

[cb7_with_snail]

like this?

[cb7_with_snail]

oops wrong pic i think i got it now

deev never built a turbo motor in his life

a cast manifold will handle the heat better than cheap tubular steel. quality tubular steel isnt cheap.

this top mount design is likely to have serious clearance issues with the hood, and possibly the radiator as well. charge pipes would also require clever routing, and the charge piping itself would have further to go than with a standard turbo layout. this is a very inefficient design.


what is your reason for doing this? i dont see any performance goals, nor do i see anything made easier by having a top mounted turbo. are you just going for looks, or trying to be different?

if you want to go crazy custom, try a rear mounted turbo. mount the turbo behind the block. run a side mount intercooler where a CAI filter would go, and run the charge pipe up like a CAI (you could acutally use a CAI for that pipe). your car would look NA, but it would be turbo. of course the side mount intercooler wouldnt work very well so you would need to run low boost and be sure to keep intake temps down.
