Front Face Manifold...

i honestly don't see why you couldn't use the n/a manifold. the valve in the middle of it is just toyota's ACIS valve (acoustical control induction system) it just gives the ge model more torque by simulatind longer and shorter intake runners. (search mkiiitech.com) you could just simply figure out how to take that valve out and plug the vaccum port it's connected to. i got two extra n/a manifolds lying in my basement right now that i was gonna use for extensive porting experiments, but i think i'll give it a try myself.

The design of the N/A manifold would require a lot of modification and porting to essenctially remove all of the area around that valve as well because it is like a divider between the two and with a single end being fed all of that has to be removed. I have an N/A manifold but it will probably end up as the first one off donar, as the runners are the same. More power to you if you think you would be able to make it work with my setup. Just does not seem worth the time, unless the person wants to pay for all the work it will take to get it just to what a turbo manifold is stock. But I will do them. Hope this helps.

hey seth, i also know it would be a lot of work thats why i just went ahead and bought a gte manifold off ebay a while ago. i just wanted to shed some light on the fact that i could be done. personally i could do what you have done to the manifold myself ( great idea btw- you got me thinking :icon_bigg ) i think ill take the n/a manifold and do something with it- maybe use it as a coffee table. oh and take a look at TURBOBOSS.COM i think he still has a pic you could use for ideas on that ffim.

hmm.... if it was possible to make it pretty much stock-looking and if you don't mind shipping overseas, I'd be interested.

I am not sure what all is involved in shipping overseas, but as long as you are covering all charges associated I am sure I can manage that. PM with where you are at and what all you are interested in and I will see if I can figure a shipping price.
