Turns out the C6 manifolds make great turbo manifolds in the ls1 rx7s and fit with plenty of space on either side without notching. Just wanted to see if anyone made a prefabbed hotside (not including DP) that mounts the turbo in front of the engine or off to one side a bit, that used the C6 manifolds and how much is it?. Truck manifolds unfortunatly wont work without really hacking up the frame rails and even dealing with steering shaft interference.

KYTP makes a 6.0L Manifold left side and a C6 Vette Manifold right side.

Let me take a look at what I have in the shop. That looks simple enough to do.

Josh, how much did you want for the hotside of 6.0/c5 manfiold setup(i think its the one that retains A/C)?

6.0L/C6 maniofld setup based of the BMR Turbo K-member.
I havent priced it out as an individual item. I have only built a few of those setuos before getting knee deep in the Tube Header game.

I dont want you to waste your time. I am still on the fence, obviously the cost being the biggest concern like everyone else (trying to figure out how much this would actually cost me to get it done with all componets and get a custom DP done locally), but if this looks like an easy and repeatable build and the price is reasonable. I am deff not the only one looking at a turbo setup that will work in the swapped RX7s.

Hinson super cars who makes the swap cradles has supposedly had a turbo setup in the works and it was supposed to be released over a year.. so now its more myth and legend than reality in most peoples mind. That combined with the fact that some stolen property was found in their lot just last month makes them a less than ideal supplier to buy from so people are looking for options, especially the guys with the later model rx7s (Called FDs) because those guys have more money to dish out generally speaking.

So people have zero options for FI with the rx7s even though its prob the most popular swap. They can get a gto procharger kit and make it fit, or custom make their own turbo setup and thats what some people have been forced to do.

Here btw is how they have it around the manifolds. I like this setup, he uses the vbands so he can pull the turbo quickly without unbolting the manifolds. Slick setup that way

Wouldent twins be even easier? From the look of it the DP with twins would almost be a straight shot back and the hotside tubing would be close to nothing. Just 1 or 2 bends a side. Kinda like the old GEN-TT turbo kits for the gto

Josh let me know if that would be easier
