danpug 1 Posted October 27, 2007 Turbo or 16v engine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mwilcock 0 Posted October 27, 2007 Turbo or 16v engine? 8v turbo, but ive been told i can use the s16 head, gti6 inlet manifold and get an exhaust manifold to suit. hence 16v? dunno if this is a load of nonsence tho lol. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danpug 1 Posted October 27, 2007 I think you could do, unsure what compression you'd end up with and also 16v turbo manifolds aren't cheap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mwilcock 0 Posted October 27, 2007 unfortunatley true. is it possible to errmmm. boj 1 up lol? using bits and bobs off diff cars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danpug 1 Posted October 27, 2007 Perhaps if you have the welding skills! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mwilcock 0 Posted October 27, 2007 a good friend of my dads has a welding company so if its possible.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danpug 1 Posted October 27, 2007 I've no idea where you'd start, perhaps getting the engine fitted first then letting your dads friend see the car and design a manifold from that. Hes probably the best person to speak to before you go getting your hands dirty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mwilcock 0 Posted October 27, 2007 Right then, so now, i just need the car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danpug 1 Posted October 27, 2007 Theres still alot more to think about other than the manifold. You might be better off starting off with the 8v turbo then later on look into turning it into a 16v. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mwilcock 0 Posted October 27, 2007 your probably right but you know how it is when you start a mission. every possible idea running through your head and scanning through ebay till stupid am lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craig f90 0 Posted October 27, 2007 Theres still alot more to think about other than the manifold.
