2g exhaust mani on 13g?

[93talontsiat]

Just what the topic says, will a 2g exhaust manifold bolt right upto my stock 13g turbo on an a/t talon?

Also would i need different gaskets or would I just use the same mitsu part? (copper? gaskets for manifold)

It will bolt right up. The bolt pattern for all mitsubishi turbine housings are the same. You are probably going to have to trim down the right hand side of the manifold slightly to get it to clear the power steering pump bracket. I would suggest buying all new gaskets and replacing them while you have everything apart as well.

Here is the vfaq on how to do the manifold swap:

All gaskets? I planned on replacing the gasket from the head to the manifold and manifold to the turbo...

However I may go with the evoIII manifold, would I have to either port my o2 housing or buy one ported to match up? And would i have to port my turbo housing also because of the possibility of a leak? What gaskets do I use for the o2 housing?

You'll be fine replacing just those gaskets you mentioned as long as you're sticking to just a manifold swap.

You wouldn't have to port anything or change any gaskets unless you are swapping to a bigger turbine housing. Then you would need to go with a gasket that matched that housing. Most people that upgrade to a 16G have a 7cm housing and therefore have to go with a 7cm gasket but until you do that the stock size gaskets are fine.
