1.5L Turbo

Post by SyNt4x »

I was just wondering if anyone has used the stock exhaust manifold with a Turbo flange for a turbo setup. Will this work or not? If not please explain why?

P.S. Except the only thing i can really see being a problem is how low it sits but im guessing it could be cut shorter?

Yes the turbo does sit low (out of sight :wink: ), and the oil return does run slightly uphill but it works perfectly...

No cutting of stock manifold, just a short adaptor that bolts to the stock manifold and the turbo.

Not quite, i did put a rising rate fuel regulator and 2L nubira injectors and a modified R32 intercooler.

TD04 off a Jap import EJ20 from a subaru. It had the center rotated so after spinning the orieentation of the turbo that the oil feed and drain would be positioned right...

All good - let me know if you have other questions.

Also read the thread from above and it should answer alot of questions about turbo-ing the A15SMS lanos engine.
