2g gst manifold on a 420?

[Pure_Power65]

i have a friend with a 420a and he asked if a 2g gs-t turbo manifold will bolt up?

 

[tkelly27]

Nope. Different engines.

It won't bolt up. The 2g turbo manifold is the same exact bolt pattern as the 1g turbo.

ok thanks guys

that is very vague is this manifold off of the 7 bolt 4g63 or is this manifold of the 420a nothing off of the 4g63 will fit on the 420a they are totally different motors

however you can modify the manifold like i have done to fit the 420A. i cut the flange off of the 4G63T manifold, then bought a 420A exhaust manifold flange and had a shop weld it to the 4G63 manifold. cast iron is tricky to weld, so i suggest if you do this, have a professional welder experienced in welding cast iron do it. But now with this done ill be able to run a super 20g or big 16g. i just wanna throw it out there that it can be done with modification.

It sounds nice in theory, but hacking a 4G63 manifold for use with a 420A will not work. The ports aren't spaced the same between the two applications, and it'd be almost impossible to reliably weld a cast manifold to a 420A flange.

you are right on the ports, they are a little further apart on the 420A flange, but it still lines up enough to work, however my engine is built not yet so its not installed. as far as the welds, they look nice and seem strong, but i cant say they'll hold through the temps the manifold will encounter. i guess only time will tell. but if it actually works out, ill let you all know.

i know guys, im sorry for that, my camera is broken right now. after i buy i new one ill definatley have pics up on here!!

Nothing welds well to cast iron. I'm a decent welder. In various attempts to cheap out, I have "repaired" several cast tools many times. None of them hold up, and only once did the repair hold long enough for the tool to be useful; of course it never stops me from trying. Wire and gas are cheap compared to some of these tools.

This will result in epic failure, with the combined forces or heat cycling the joint, the weight of the turbo and forward exhaust section, and engine vibration.

Pics, please.

So this will fit well once its in??

No because even then the turbo WILL interfere with the alternator/power steering.

 

[95 'clipse RS]

my power steering is removed, and the alternator is in the back of the engine bay. so it'll be a straight shot

Here's a pic of after i removed power steering.

I was using sarcasm... Well good luck and post a pic when you do this.
