M42/M50Turbo Manifold Q's
« on: December 20, 2007, 07:28:28 AM »
I have seen that there is a posibility that a M50 Tuebo Manifold will fit the M42 by cutting off runners 1 and 2 and welding the turn on #4 shut. Just want to confirm if this is true or not. Also, does it have to be re drilled? and will a standard 60 trim T3 fit with internal wastegate? I have a 91 318IS that is ready to roll and I want to make that puppy scream.

check out 666fabrication.com they got turbo manifolds for m42s. it would save you tha hassle of doin all that with an m50 manifold although its a bit pricey

there is neukin.com too, I think it's priced right, cheaper than 666fab...
 
the manifold from 6 cyl that you want to use surely is that from SS autocrap... it's too thin and it will crack. But if you search in this forum there are other 2 men doing what you want :)
