manifold enquiry
Hi just a quick question, would rover p6 manifolds be ok to use with turbos, i thought i could turn them upside down and make plates to fit the turbos to??

not the turbos , i thought about the manifolds being turned upside down and swapped over, so the flanges match rich

i take it the p6 heads and exhaust ports and bolt patterns are a different to the sd1 heads then? rich

Thanks for the replies all, i was just being lazy and hoping i could get out of making some. Idid find some cast ones for turbos ,but to much money. Looks like i need some gas pipe instead, so with the turbos placed to the front of the engine with 1 pipe coming from the back exhaust port and the other 3 ports welded to it be ok?? rich

there the sought i was thinking of, thanks for that. I know forged pistons are best to use, but would standard low comp 3.9 pistons be ok for 500ish bhp if they were ceramic coated. Would like to use as much standard stuff as i can.??rich

the 3.9 pistons are 8;13 to 1. i can get some cheap, but if there no good then forged it will have to be.

to be a pain , the slots that you find in standard rover pistons??, better ring them and find out what they have in these ones rich just rang and these have 2 slots in them, 1 either side above the gudgeon pin. They seem to think they would be ok for upto 5 bar. Thats not very high for twin turbos is it rich
