manifold adaptor's ?? piecing a sohc KA-t together

[deevietboi]

Can u make a ka24e sohc manifold into a adaptor flange to fit a stock SR20 manifold? both are cast iron right? last longer than any ebay manifold for about a 1/4 the price!

or is there a shop or online store that makes one?

i dunno i just live in CA and the restrictions on turbo 240sx suck ***, i just wanted to put together a t3/t4 setup using sr20 parts sence there so cheap....with ca18 injectors with fmu and a 255 puel pump under 220hp so stock maf is cool? maybe sr20 maf or is it the same?

just for fun, if i could turbo my car for less than 500bucks, play with it the winter and sell it in 09

i got about a grand to play with

please any help would be great!

[neverlift]

please read the stickies, most fo this can be answered... however an sr has a t2 flange and is a t2 turbo, not a t3.

read moar

stickies about what? flanges and adaptors? lolim not talking about my turbo setup buddy

basically i have the whole hot side of the sr20

cant i just get a piece of stainless steel, drill some holes to mount the sr20 mani, drill more holes to mount to the kaE? right? or theres more to it?

Go outisde and look at your manifold, then the sr manifold. Look at how your stock mani is mounted...probably on exhaust studs. If you have the time and patience to make an adaptor that bolts onto your head and also has studs to mount the sr mani too, then by all means do it. The easier option would be to cut your manifold before where it bolts to the engine, then cut the sr mani in the same place, then weld the sr mani to the ka-e's manifold flange. I've seen this done before, and I most likely found it by searching. Good luck, and if I were you I would read the stickies before you really mess something up.

It's a simple answer...NO.

[deevietboi]

well thats what i thought i could do, cuttt the stock kaE flange off a stock header, cutt the sr20 flange off and weld together, it might be a few inches off but as long as it works right?

everything is the same concept right? just different bolt pattern

i mean if thats all to it, i can have a strong, cheap cast iron manifold for 20-100bucks or even free =], i mean i dont really care for looks/design i just want something cheap but i dont want to buy a cheap ebay ka24e mani when i can have 1 for half the price but 10x stronger

[WDRacing]

DUDE...*takes a deep breath*...

Not only is the bolt pattern different, but the runners are SO FAR off it isn't a matter of swapping the flanges. I weld, I fabricate and I design my parts ALL the time. This is something that I not only couldn't do, but would consider an utter waste of time and money to even attempt. I said it can't be done for a reason. Because it can't...

Also, I don't know if you're familiar with welding cast metals...it's VERY difficult to do well.





See the difference?

You could do what Aaron did...which is a far better idea IMO.

aww are u serious?

cant u just chop the ka manifold up a little cant u just chop where the red line is, and the green lines would be piping?

then get 2 SR20 manifolds and chop them up 2?weld it to the ka and bolt the sr20 on? (connecting the black lines)

and use the rest of the cut sr20 manifold for the KA as in the pic with the green lines as the piping?

ok maybe im just being cheap........ but its more likely to make a turbo manifold out of the stock KA header?

sorry

You must have missed this thread WD, i was amazed that this could be done as well. Check it out.

Am I the only person here that understands the difference between a KA24E and a KA24DE? The manifolds are just a tad different...especially when it comes to lining up the runners.

Tell me you guys understand what I'm saying? I even posted pictures

[neverlift]

well buddy you are trying to do the impossible if you had a de then yeah go ahead, however you do not.

wd I got yah, its like noone can tell the diff

kade like this ////es argh like this \\\\kae like this [ ] [ ]

[deevietboi]

common clearly u think imma idiot, i no the difference in flanges....(its in the picture for god sake)

wow this site acts if everyone is a retard or something whats with that? im just tryin to be simple and use less words, SEE I TOLD U that sh** is possible WD

kaE or kaDE w/e as long as u understand the concept everything should work fine right?

i think the kaE using a SR is possible yall R just to LAZY or to RICH to even give a RATS AZZZZ

good thing the KA's bolt right up the stock everything so i can always swap KA24DE into it and to the sr20 mani if the SOHC'r doesnt work out

anyways peace Team 1620hrs

[480sx]

Err i fail, hard.

I see what your saying now WD. The ports for a SOHC arnt evenly spaced apart as the DOHC and a SR head are. They are closer between 1-2, 3-4 than they are 2-3.

This idea isnt going to work well at all. Anything is possible i suppose but your looking at a LOT of work with equipment you probably dont have available.

It's not going to work, you are stupid. I explained it clearly and nicely once, now you get told the facts.

1, you don't listen to people that know better.2, you don't have any idea what you're talking about.3, the results that will come from 1 and 2 will equal fail.

DO NOT MAKE ANOTHER THREAD ABOUT THIS.

I'm locking this to prevent the spread of total idiocy. If you have a problem with that, do me a favor and run a hot bath, get in the tub and open an artery or two.

I hate it when people ask for opinions/answers, and when people (that know sooo much more than them) tell them something, they refuse to believe it. What was the point in asking in the first place if you aren't going to listen? Happens to me allll the time.
