anyone done this

[214kka-et240sx]

i am doin a ebay mani from a SR that cost me 100 buck for a stainless steel one, and i am gonna custom make it to fit a sohc mani, so my ? is has any one done this. and how does the car react at high speed , does it have good top end?.

[koukiKA240]

im afraid its not going to work. If u look at the exhaust ports for the SOHC they are paired up and the pair are about about 3-4 inches from one another. So im not sure it would work.

here is a ghetto "pic" of the SOHC layout.

the zeoros are the ports. The ports on the SR and KA24DE are layed out like this

^ Same here.

Better off just making it from scratch, because the flange won't work, the pipes won't work, and let's see.... hey! That's all there is to a manifold.

Besides, you have a cool ride. Why go ghetto?

You can get a used GOOD ka mani for a little more $.

[Florida240sx]

Maybe he just wants to be the first to make it. Watch we are going to see stock SOHC mani cut and stainless stell JB weld on to it with ducttape.Was thinking if you bought an SS Mani could you dip in metal to make the walls thicker?Like chrome dipping but mainly that's for show.

[214kka-et240sx]

ok well, wat ever you guys think ,watch it will work , i'll take pic of it . if you guys think i cant do it then, you dont know how to custom make things of your own

[Florida240sx]

I have faith in ya.You can do it

[214kka-et240sx]

Hahhahahhahahhahhahahha....

*Deep Breath*

Hhahahahhahahhahhahahha....

hey you think i cant do it. watch me do it .

[214kka-et240sx]

I have faith in ya.You can do it

are you making fun of me, or you are with me , cuz if you are thanks man, and i will make it work and sell it to the ppl that say i couldnt watch.

[wild_maxx]

pretty determened brotha. good luck. i would like to see something new.

[214kka-et240sx]

anything is possible.

[eddiec]

seems like more effort than its worth. but if thats what you want then give it a shot. definitely different. i for one will be watching for pics.

[veilside180sx]

It's not worth all the hassle, just buy a JGS and be done with it. Time is better spent on other places of the vehicle.

I suppose you could do it..., but why? Is the "?" everyone has for you. It's like needing a knife so you go to the silverware drawer. You see a knife, but you choose a fork- and then proclaim that you are going to "make it work." It doesn't make any sense. I mean yeahm there are a lot of things that are possible. You could also stick needles in your eyes. The question remains why you would want to. I don't think that you should read peoples responses to you like they don't "like" you, more that everyone is seriously puzzled...

[Nismo_Freak]

hey you think i cant do it. watch me do it .

I don't care if you can do it.

A stupid idea is a stupid idea.

[toki]

I'm sure I could manage to get a turbo to spool with a ham sandwich and some duct tape, but why would I want to?

[214kka-et240sx]

so no one has done it , ok well , if thats wat yall think .

all i ask was if anyone has tried it , and how it came out , and all i get is ppl telling me thats , this is stupid, why?, blah,blah. but i guess all you guys dont work on cars

thanks FLORIDA240SX , i'll take pic of it when done for you.

[Remedy]

we don't try senseless projects = we don't work on cars?

Huh? wha....?

[SlidnSideways]

Bro...take a deep breath and calm thyself...

I think what they are tyring to tell you is that yes you could do it...yes it can be done...but with the energy spent, materials used, and effort put into this, it would be easier to just use something that is alittle more....ummmm...practical.

Yes it can be done...but is it worth the hasstle to you?

Credibility aside, what I think you should do is cut off the center pipes of the SR manifold and then install a brand new KA manifold. That'll work.

[214kka-et240sx]

ok this is wat i am doin, i ordered a sohc exhaust flange from jgs tools , and i will cut the sr mani flange off , and weld it to the sohc flange , its that simple i think so

[Mustangs_Suck]

goin' waaayyy out of your way for something that is simple - but if you want to do it - go for it!

I'd definitley like to see pics when it's done.

Aside from all of these soft handed people that pay for others to build their cars who are making fun of you, yes it will work, yes it's been done, yes it is easy. Cut off old flange, heat the two inside tubes and bend out to match the flange you bought, tig or mig weld it, and then pat yourself on the back for making a manifold already made by my friend Branden with the same parts. It is definately worth the time. I wish i would have done the same before i hand made my log manifold, but oh well..........

[klattr1]

lets see some pics of this fantastic SOHC hacked manifold.

[jude240]

same here want to see pix

so how is your friend's car doin with this manifold, does it have good top end?

why are you all makin fun of wat i am doin. i just asked if anyone did wat i am doin , but nnooo ,ppl have no respect here

but i think it will be worth it making my manifold,

[wannawangan]

Gotta admire the drive he has. Can't wait for the pix. Good luck on that project!
