That would be really helpful then we should know if the manifolds are interchangable

You said you ran a side mount intercooler. Did you run it with the origional intercooler? Do you know if these motors have forged pistons in them? how much boost were you running?

legendturbo

I ran up to 12psi. I ran the side mount going into the original factory one also. I was going to remove the factory one but never got around to it. No forged pistons, this isn't exactly a supra. You can use honda H22 forged pistons, but you would have to match the bore correctly but I think they are almost the same for the 2.7.

Muffo

Yeh I no about the pistons I will probably order them from the states. Do you think ti would be easy to remove the factory intercooler as this would make for a more free flowing head.

legendturbo

Probably not. But considering if you do remove it you will then have a poorly shaped chamber with a large space before the throttle body I doubt you will gain anything at all. I would only recommend getting rid of the whole thing entirely.

Muffo

I was more thinking of replacing it with a strait pipe tho this may not be possible as air flows better through a pipe than an intercooler. Were the header measurements enough to compar your manifold to?

legendturbo

I am not really sure what you mean but I think after you have a look at it you will realize that is not possible. What header measurements?

Muffo

thats ok your probably right. Headers Dimensions Comparo...Stock vs. OBX (56k Warning). not sure it will be right to compare

legendturbo

Yes the ports are approximately the same size. The spacing between them is 1 11/16". If someone can confirm that that is the same pattern as the 2.7 then you have a match.

Muffo

Also the distance between bolt holes woulb be good then we know for sure.

I can get that for you guys a little later (though my manifolds from a 2.5 just fyi...)

The 2.5 and 2.7 manifolds are the same though right? I will measure the bolt holes later today.

sam o nela

Yes they are...

Hey can you include some more pics too?

Heres your measurements guys...

Keep in mind that I measured in inches and then used an online converter (since Im assuming you guys use the metric system )

Wow thats really awsome, thanks. Sorry guys I am away for possibly a few weeks but I will try and have a good look as soon as I get back.
