Yah, Most cars the stock manifolds are cast.. You'd definitely have to find a flange thats at least mild steel, you should really try to find stainless so you get a much better quality weld (and it'll look better)

There's a few other things you will have to address (besides engine durability) since you'll have to alter or replace your MAF.. You can get an EVO MAF, and call up Splitsec (www.splitsec.com) and get one of their Karmann devices to calibrate an EVO maf to the stock ECU, or you can do nearly the same thing with an S-AFC..

Before you get too deeply into this though, get some prices for beefed internals and going over your engine with a fine-tooth comb (blueprint rebuild) so it can withstand additional cylinder pressures..

There's no doubt this is a project.. But its fun and your fortunate that many evo parts can be adapted fairly easily..

 

That's what I am planning for the future. Maybe not blueprinting, but definitely forged internals and possibly heat coating them as well, PP, etc.

Good luck with the project and make sure you get pictures of everything. I'd really like to see the turbo mani they build for you.

 

Yup, I will difenitely take pictures of every update and I plan to beef up my internals later this year and boost around 12-13.... But for now I need to sell my RRM Header version 2. I need cash asap.

 

Ya know.. you can save yourself some time by using your header as the donor for the flange... Assuming you don't sell it..

 

Good point. But I'll try to ask Rob from RRM if they have extra flange setting around....

 

Get a piece of sheet metal and get to tracing and transferring. Take a rubbing with a piece of charcoal. Should be easy as pie.

 

Who made yours? What was the price tag? I'd like to get one made for me, since the RRM piping is a but much.

I had some stainless stuff cut on a water jet locally.. Their not in business anymore, but I'm sure there's gotta be something local that can do it for you..
