sr20det manifold- vtr head??

3rd February 2012, 19:38

I have read on here that a sr20det manifold is not a million miles away from the same port spacing as a vtr? I found ferriday engineering does manifold adapters... would it be worth it for the likes of myself wanting to run a t25/t28 turbo in the near future?

Be better of just buying one of those £200 jobbies off eBay

And it's the 16v head it has near port spacings

But pretty sure ryanmt and a few others tried it and it wasn't that close at all

I did look at the cituning manifold last week.. maybe worth a buy. I have gav's old quicky set up getting bolted on this week with a few tasty extra's but starting to plan the next build with a t25 or possible the t28 and forged pistons ect

i may have a t25 for sale soon

you got a progress thread up yet?

3rd February 2012, 20:38

tempting

For the amount of things I have done to the car I guess I should start one :o Did you see the picture on facebook of the front mount fitted? Looks agrressive for a vtr

Hugh mcgibney.. well after the itb project i gave up on threads tbh maybe put a thread:up with all the pictures when i finish boosting

3rd February 2012, 21:33

ahh yeah i have you on FB

get one up mate, its all good

3rd February 2012, 21:43

being honest if I had the chance I'd go back to an adapter style setup easier to position turbo where you want and easier to sort a nice downpipe for it plus pipework etc be much shorter and easier to

Thought that

I will put the whole progress up with dyno graphs ect once it is finished, 1 massive picture packed post then that's the end of it for a few months.

Would it make that much of a difference? I am going to get a new adapter made up for you're old set up as the actuator (spelling?) is against the block and will bend when I tighten the manifold bolts up

problem is it now touch's the radiator

Can you remember the size of the intake side of the turbo? I need a 45 degree reducer to put the induction kit infront of the battery.

There are more options than you think, you can adapt a manifold no problem but it might not be neat and the turbo position might not be ideal.

Tbh, the cituning one is a decent buy as you know it works, puts the turbo in the right place etc

Also, I personally would fit a reducer to the inlet side of the turbo, you want that as free flowing as possible.

4th February 2012, 11:42

you've got the straight hose that goes on the inlet side of the turbo that goes to 2" so you need 2" to whatever the induction is

I was kind of hoping you knew the turbo side of that pipe.. it's 15 miles away from me so can't measure it

the set I have now is an adapted manifold but at the end of summer/next winter I want to start collecting parts for some real power, I was looking at the dp manifolds but there expensive compated to the likes of cituning..

There will be people who can fabricate a custom manifold the are better than the DP ones for less price, you just need to find them

Never thought about that! There is a place 50 miles away called elite customs that make good exhuast so maybe they could make up something good, after the boosted vtr I am tempted to go 16valve to squeeze a bit more out

I have plenty of time to make plans for it so in no rush at all.
