Default Headers for turbo LS1 RX7?

Hi!
Im new to the LS1 world (done with rotaries ). Been looking around on this forum for a while and sourcing out alot of the parts i need but i still havnt found any suiting headers for my single turbo setup.

Anyone got a good ide what i can buy? If not i have to TIG weld some more and do it custom =)

Sindre

Check out v8rx7forum.com

Hinson super cars is working on developing a full turbo kit for the FD but its been in "development" for over a year.

Some of the FCs have done turbo setups using flipped stock manifolds and/or truck manifolds which require a small notch of the frame rail on the passengers side.

Here's a pic of my buddies FC.


His thread mentions
Custom 1.75" 304ss tubular headers

That's it but I would still assume it's all custom since it's not a traditional V8 chassis

Thanks for the picture Digi7ech (rotary guy right?).
I think my engine will arrive in a few days so then i can try different setups. Custom is probably the way to go, but im not that good with the TIG yet!

I can go non turbo but that would result in less hp than my last setup =/ Not that tempting!
