Turbo manifold question

finally came to the point where i wanna turbo the lancer, my friend who owns a honda >.> keeps bugging me to race him and i know damn well i wont keep up since he was able to somewhat keep up with my old subaru so its time to turbo the lancer

Does anyone know what other manifold from other cars may fit? i really dont wanna have to spend $300 on a turbo manifold for my 2.0 then have to by everything else at god knows how much.

so far i modded my cosmo racing intake from the subaru to fit, changed out the spark plugs to NGK, about to order an ebay exhaust kit and some cheap lowering springs to bring it down alil

It really depends on the turbo you plan on running. We need a little more info to give you a proper answer

lol when I posted up something about racing the MOD dude gave me a warning... OK?

anyways I would stick with the 16G turbo to be honest from what I read it can hold more power than the T-25, and its universal with the evo 8. But you dont have to spend 300 on a manifold you can probably find one used on here for about 150-250 just depends on the person. I got mine from speedcorps for 300 and trust me it was worth every penny

Turbo manifolds from the 4G93 (not 4G93T GSR) will fit. That's about it. Speed Corps makes manifolds to fit a 16G. RPW and RRM have manifolds also. It'll be tough to spend less than $300 on a manifold unless you can find one used for cheap.

your only problem is the flange that bolts up to the exhaust block of the engine, that needs to be modified because the 4G63 is a bigger engine than the 4G94 Trust me you will spend more money on customizing it yourself than just buying a used or new one, UNLESS your a skiled welder can metal fabricataor then go for it

Only the 4G93 not the 4G63 will work, you can make an evo manifod work but the only way is to weld on a 4G94 flange to it and even then you will have to drill out new bolt holes and the runners will not line up completely. I suggest if your going turbo one thing you dont want to go cheap on is the manifold. A turbo weighs alot and a cheap mani will break real quick and you will be kicking yourself when your car is down a month after you turbo'd and have to buy another manifold.

just a bit of advice from one new guy to another. i came into a Lancer from the Honda world. I was desperately searching for a clean Honda, but with how things are today everyone just molests them to ****. also, i really did not want to be associated with the Honda crowd, especially down here in socal.

i have learned a lot in my short time here on the forums and research continues. do not try to make this thing into a Honda. there are plenty of resources on here to help you out. like i said, i have learned a lot in my short time and it continues on. read the turbo build threads all the way through, and then once you think you understand everything, read it all over again

good luck bud.

you just have to be very careful on what kind of manifold you will buy, the difficulty depends on the year of your car and if its auto or mani, if your car is 03 or below, or auto (any year) all 4g94 t manifold will fit, but if its newer and manual you will have a headache (big time) trying to find a manifold. and all this is because of the damn slave cylinder of the tranny.
good luck with your build

I wish my car matched....Mine is like yours I guess, yellow on one half...mustard on the other, with spots of "lemon". The sun was a harsh mistress to my lady's skin. Anyhow, not going to stop me from going turbo, I really don't give 2 poops about "show" I want that "go"!

If I did get my car painted, it'd probably be a maaco special, lol
