Sam 4 Posted November 16, 2006 Hi, I'm just getting parts sorted for my S16 turbo conversion, after lending my manifold to Paul (building the 205 t16 monster race car) the guys commented that it was close to the water housing and yes on inspection the actuator is butt up against it (only by millimeters). Is the Mi16 one slimmer (towards the head) than the S16 one? It certainly looks like it will give me more space...

B1ack_Mi16 67 Posted November 16, 2006 I guess it's slimmer, at least if you have the side-pipe exit welded like jon had. The S16 has the outlet on the side, wheil Mi16 has it pointing forward. Anyway the S16 head need to have the extra oil-return from the vacum-pump plugged if you use the Mi16 one. And I also think you should do something to avoid oil coming out of the side of the camshaft, as it's drilled to feed the vacum-pump with oil. You're going to run wasted spark then I guessl, as you'll loose the camshaft-reference sensor too. I actually think it's less hassle just to use a 1.9 head from the start, so you won't need to fiddle around with the oil-feed and return stuff. I guess the DP manifold flange fits both 10 and 9 stud heads anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
