So I am talking to a member from the org about a set of manifolds that fit the jdm vq30det gloria and was wondering if the manifolds would swap over to my vq out of a 2000 se. I tried to do some research and couldn't find much regarding this topic. Does anyone know if this will work?

 

IIRC they swap over but it puts the turbo into the radiator.

 

ok as long as it bolts up to the block I knew id run into problems with the radiator

 

Exhaust manifold bolts up to your head....not your block

 

t6378tp makes a good forward y pipe turbo setup

 

Basically, don't waste your time and money on the manifolds. You're in the wrong section. You know there's a forced induction part of this forum...

 

you just ruined the surprise!!!

 

sorry i was typing without thinking.
Yes i realize there is a forced induction section on this forum but as i looked i couldn't find the answer to my question. I decided to start a thread in the 4th gen section in case someone with the answer to my question wasn't looking in the forced induction section.

 

I have been looking into this a lot myself and going to start with parts. Keep the stock manifolds or buy some ebay headers with y pipe or go OBX setup. Take the y pipe reverse it and get some piping from Jegs and have the y pipe cut after the Y and have piping welded to the drivers side and up towards your battery. Then you'll have to have your down pipe made, dump tube, and piping to run back to the rear of the car. Here's my set up that I foresee that I will be getting

Headers Y pipe
mandrel bends and stainless piping from Jegs
3076r/s256 size turbo
300zx injectors
Greddy e-manage
intercooler & piping kit
oil lines and fittings
high flow fuel pump
turbo timer
slim radiator fans
relocate battery

And sure much more misc parts as it comes along.

 

i have a set of headers now and that was my first thought was to reverse the y pipe and run the new piping as you said towards the battery which i am relocating to the trunk. my 0 guage wire came in today. but i then found a set of the vq30det headers for an extremely good price freshley sand blasted and ready to go. I was just a little worried that they may not bolt up to my HEADS due to the bolt patterns. i have everything else i need except a system like the e-manage.
