  • turbo exhaust manifold question

    just a random thought and searching came up with nothing definite. i have a 2.8 s10 that is more rat than rod and i've been thinking of forced induction for it. i have full coverage insurance so the risk of a big firey explosion from a poorly built draw-through turbo sounds exciting to me. i'm stuck at trying to find/fabricate exhaust manifolds then thought about the crazy design of the right side manifold from a grand national. i could probably build something like that but i want to know if one willsimply bolt up. the best i can find are assumptions but i want to know for sure.

    FIERO manifolds maybe?? Still need a Xover pipe, but might work.

        lol thanks, lifes too short to be safe
        noticed a differnce with how the 3.8 manifolds bolt up so that wont work but i was finshing up a head gasket job on a pontiac montana 3400 and think i might be able to use the rear manifold from one of those. might even show a build up once its done since a draw through 2.8 seems nonexistant, probably for obvious reasons.
