flipping the manifold

[nt_a_foz]

negative..actually bought it off a guy from vegas who had it for about 4 years..

Was all forgd out and had a big garret of some sort before brad bought ,twisted turbo, flipped mani, possum link, forged out, wastegate etc, complete with cut springs haha

lol. Ok, back to the drawing board for me then. Stupid v5 manifolds.

Mine, really want to get a link and start delooming the damn engine bay.

[Solja]

heres a recent picture of my flipped manifold, gearbox is off at moment for clutch change and going through the twisted turbo stage so should look abit better in few weeks

[Guest Bemrose]

wrxer - how did you fit your power steering tank !?!??!

[WRXER]

I'll have a closer inspection, my tank had always been in that position since I purchased it many a year ago. My mechanic Tony at RDL performance also flipped it for me, so I'll give him a buzz on tuesday on his exact methods with this one when I get my car back from tuning.

Those round powersteering tanks fit flipped setups, as oposed to the old style square ones which wont

i did a straight flip with my v3 manifold and put x2 sets of the gizzmo phenolic gaskets which lifts the manifold 6mm so as to clear the p/s reservior and prevents heat soak through to the manifold. just cut a few bits off the alloy alt/air con bracket and flip the alternator straight over to where the a/c pump was, then all you have to do is make a small adjuster bracket for it. a good time to do a parrallel fuel set-up while you are at it. by doing that and flipping the fmic so that the inlets are up the top i shortened a huge amount of pipework out of the car. you will need a new 5pk1105 belt if running standard pulleys or i my case a 5pk1045 if running gfb pulleys.

flipped my alt today.....i tried the 5pk1105 belt with standard pulleys and it was too small ???, ended up using belt # 5pk1220.....

Now this is exactly what I'm after. How do they get it so the AFM isn't required?

The link ecu allowed me to bin mine

[drakon]

can you get link ecu's for twins though? never been able to find one.

twin parallel shouldnt make any difference at all to the ECU.

Twin sequential is what i think you're talking about.

[drakon]

Hi funkytown unsure what your meaning, are you saying if I have a twin parrellal setup I can use single turbo ecu's?

Might have been reading between lines or just getting over Monday blues and not reading it right

yes if both turbos are the same and running identical boost then as far as the ecu is concerned it just boost.

same as having a single turbo really

[drakon]

sweet thats good news for me and upgrade purposes cheers.

[funkytown]

yup what rex leggy said. twin parrallel is a bitch to plumb though.. pipes ALLL over your engine bay to make it work.

much simplier and cost effective to use a large single in all honesty.

was wondering with a v3/4 intake manifold that has been cut and welded instead of flipping are there any other things u need to change i know the alternator has to be moved and a pulley put in place for the belt.

also does anyone have any better pictures of the front facing setup need to sort out how to do the alternator bracket etc.

[Trent]

Need to know who can cut my throttle body flange off the manifold and welded it 30mm lower and level on the same side
