vegas510 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I was wondering if I need a new exhaust manifold to clear the steering box. Or will the stock manifold work. Quote Link to comment
808DA6 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Lots of guys either do a top mount or convert to rack steering. Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I see the Log Style top mounts used frequently. I know you can buy a kit that you cut/weld the flange on to the log style wherever you want to. I'm sure there's a specific brand you can use so it won't hit the BMC, but I don't know it other than that. Quote Link to comment

This would be easiest and most durable route. http://jgsturbo.com/index2.html for 179 if you can weld or for 322 and take it to a place to have the flange welded on. Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 JGS, that's the one I was thinking of. Thanks, Chris. What a hero.... Quote Link to comment
vegas510 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I kinda want a top mount Megan or something like that. back to the drawing board. Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 The JGS log manifolds are top mount. They aren't the "cool, hip, polished, tubular" manifolds, but they fit, which is important. The problem is that we have less room in our engine bay A) because of the steering box, B) because of LHD instead of RHD, and C) because the brake master cylinder is in a different place than the 240sx, among other things. You'll have to do some reading to find if there are any people in the build threads that are using aftermarket tubular manifolds that clear with little-to-no modifications. Quote Link to comment
b210in Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 if you can weld, use the jgs one but you will only be saving a little money. for a little more money than the jgs manifold and is ready to bolt on use the mckinney motorsports manifold, it's designed for the 510 sr swap.

xiaphin Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Check out the Isis manifold at enjukuracing.com It looks identical to my Forced Peformance manifold but at a third of the price. http://enjukuracing.com/isis-tubular-exhaust-turbo-manifold-nissan-sr20det-s13s14-p-8592.html?cPath=24_191 Forced Manni on my engine, http://store.forcedperformance.net/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=FP&Product_Code=HDRNissanSR20&Category_Code=Nissan-Exhaust Quote Link to comment
