420a turbo manifold

[islandertalon]

does any one know what type of manifold this is? Would I be able to use a regular manifold gasket, or would I need four individual gaskets?

I really dislike the way that mani is made. You can use a regular manifold gasket. DO the holes on the manifold line uop with the head?

I thought that the manifold was a little weird too. I was told that it was used on a 420a eclipse. Are you sure that if I use a normal exhaust gasket that it will not give me any problems.

Its a little different but should work. Put the gasket up to it and if it fits it should work. Dont need to cut it. what are the specs on that turbo.

He does not know the specs on the turbo. Here is a close up of the turbo.

The wheel looks small on it. Where did he get it. The parts look new. How did he end up with new parts but no specs. Hope he didnt just go buying without knowing what he bought.

Looks like a garrett super 60 t3.

I have never seen a manifold that does not have one solid and continuous flange to mate with the head. Ebay manifolds don't use seperate flanges. My guess is that it is a homemade manifold. I strongly dislike the log style manifold, but it will work - just not flow as well as an exhaust manifold should. As for the turbo, the compressor housing looks new, but the wheel and exhaust housing do not.

I have seen that type of manifold on a civic before. Thinking about it, as long as it supports the turbo and down pipe you should be fine. The only way to tell is install it and find out. It might seal alitle better because it will torque more without the 1 piece solid flange.

The turbo is actually used. He got the turbo used and never used it, and doesn't know any of the specs. Thanks for all of the quick replies.
