micra turbo k11 help

[azzy]

hi i need help to turbo a micra k11, where can i get a cheap manifold, for starters,

 

[turbonutter69]

Breakers yards will be your best bet I would of thought.

 

[azzy]

sorry i mean turbo manifold hard to find

 

[turbonutter69]

If you take the manifold off your engine and then take that to a breakers yard you may be able to make one up or get as close as. You will probably have to modify the manifold to fit anyway.

 

[azzy]

so if i take my manifold to scrap yard they will make me one ? is there others i can try, also wat turbo will i need to push 140 bhp

 

[turbonutter69]

No they won't make you one but you may be able to match it up to one similar. The T25 turbo will be easily good for that BHP.

Brilliant, a "cheap" manifold. Building it to last I see! A few places will make you one for about £500.

A T25 will be far too big if you only want 140bhp. IHI VL7?

 

[turbonutter69]

Ahh but then there is scope for a bit more tuning later on. The T25 are supposedly only rated to 180bhp anyways.

 

[MasterAuron]

According to who? There are a fair whack of motors running 200bhp+ as standard on a T25.

 

[azzy]

yes thats good news, wat will t25 cost to last me abt 1 year, plus i want quick spool time, does any one know manifold makers for this, contacks

I know what your saying and the T16 engine runs 197bhp standard but the T25 turbo that powers it is only rated to 180bhp.

 

[azzy]

yes its true but if i go t25 i can upgrade to 200bhp later, wat esle do i need to turbo conversion this, do japan make this manifold in japan any sites ?
