Turbo LSx s10 guys what to do for manifolds Are there any manifolds that will work or am I going to have to build something. I have heard the steering shaft hits the drivers side when trying to run the upside down truck manifolds
Any advice or pics would be great. I am thinking a 76 mm on the pass side

mine don't have a turbo and its got headers but I had the same problems with my headers. so i had to make my own steering shaft. used the stock steering box and 3 u joints and a heim joint to support it. its got a u- joint behind the firewall.

well my buddy came over today thats helping with the turbo setup and he had the idea of buying a set of shorties and using them to make my kit.
thake the drivers side down like normal and take the crossover back by the trans and then cut the pass side up and make a log

That works but the biggest problem is how to run your downpipe . Doing it that way to get a downpipe between the frame and trans you most likely have to cut the floor board. I was going to do mine that way but decided to make log manifolds with a crossover in the front .
heres a pic before i put the wastegate pipe on

Just curious, but how come you didn't point the header tubes in the direction of travel a little bit? That would have made for better flow characteristics, plus shortened the main log some because you could have blended the last pipe into the merge or down tube. Not to mention it would have opened up the back of the engine for air to flow out easier..

people are making way more HP than i am shooting for with a log design so i went with this . Im shooting for 600 rwhp hoping more towards 650 with meth injection

OK. Well best of luck to you on the build and don't forget, header wrap will keep the heat in and the turbo spooled.. It is a pain to get right, but when you do, it is worth the effort. I am NA on my engine and even I have considered it...
Something about losing a fingerprint one day that had me thinking really hard about it.
Just curious, but had you given any consideration to a remote turbo setup? Twins or a single in the bed? I wanted to do that but my budget just wont allow for it at present. Or anytime in the near future either.

Thanks bud , its been a longer process than i originally wanted it to be but im doing a much better and much stronger build
My build started as wanting a bed mounted setup but it snowballed into what is is now lol . most rear mount builds ive seen they tend to sell it off and put the turbo up front . so i figured id skip the rear mount setup and put it where it belongs lol
Headers are wrapped now
