grand national turbo exhaust manifolds

[SgtMarshal]

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

how would 3.8 mustang manifolds bolt up? most people do flip the exhaust so the turbo is in the front, but there are a few rear mount turbo setups

You should get them l33t ported for like 1700 bucks.
I hear a l33t port job is worth like 70whp over a vendor stage 2 port.

lead the way.

what the hell is L33t porting?

 

[SgtMarshal]

L33t = elite

 

[GTPpower]

they clear all the accessories?

Not sure about that. Ac and PS may cause some problems.

With bolts.

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

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.

I talked with ZZP and they claim their Z7 kit wont fit on a RWD L36, they said it would be nearly impossible to make it fit. they also told me they did a turbo setup on a customers car and it was 10K in custom work, and that the power logs wont work either.

Cartuning still has their L36 Camaro turbo kit and it still requires an ac delete.

yeah it will all have to be custom the crossover and downpipe anyway. you could use the flipped mustang manifolds but if going all out i dont know why you would limit yourself that way. plenty of room in the engine bay for custom log manifolds or headers.
