grand national turbo exhaust manifolds

[SgtMarshal]

anyone know if grand national turbo exhaust manifolds will bolt up to series 2/3 heads?

[231FUN]

I highly doubt it, differnt heads/block.
And why when plogs are cheap and flow better anyhow.

[SgtMarshal]

power logs might be the best way to go, but there would be a lot of other exhaust that would have to me fabbed if I go that route. if the grand national manifolds bolt up there are kits available to do the whole installation. if they do fit, there would probably be some custom work required, but I would imagine it would be a lot less.

[Scottydoggs]

a grand national is rwd and has a huge engine bay, so its not gonna fit even if it could fit is my guess. there would still be a load of fab work.

Different exhaust port layout. Will not bolt up.

Couldn't you do front and rear PLogs and a z7 cross over? I think that all bolts together and then you have the T4 turbo flange

maybe, I will have to look into that

what are you trying to do?

[SgtMarshal]

I'm not trying to do anything yet, just thinking about doing an f body 3800 turbo build, pull out all the stops and do a max build

If going all out, why not go with a custom, stainless hotside?

Because modifying the aftermarket 3.8 turbo stuff is cheaper and less time consuming than building all one off stuff.

its easier to make something work than build from scratch. a kit will have most of the items required, if not everything. and so far I haven't found a complete kit for a 3800 rwd, except the cartuning kit which required an ac delete

Believe me...I know. I make one off crap all the time...it may not be as fancy as some others, but I still do it with minimal tooling to get it done.

From the way I read it, with the words "max build", money isn't going to be an issue. I recall Car Tuning makes turbo headers for 3800s, I think they're like $800, which really isn't expensive considering what good, stainless turbo headers cost for other platforms.

<------- complete noob here when it comes to building new or even modifying a turbo kit. haven't messed with turbo's at all. I picked up a couple books that I am going to read to get edumacated.

My suggestion is to find a pair of 3.8 mustang manifolds and use those.

do you flip them like on a LS turbo setup?

[GTPpower]

Yeah if you want the turbo in the front.

[NebTurboST5]

they clear all the accessories?
