E30 M50 Turbo manifold

Can you post pictures.

I have an idea of what to do. Ebay manifold re-welded and buy 2 t3 flanges and make a 45 degree adaptor.

I have a top mount M50 turbo mani Id be willing to sell.
I modified the flange to clear the VC and Body. Let me know I will snap some photos for you later today.

Can we see the pictures anyway?

Yea, I know Otis has one going. If it was a couple months later I'd be in for sure, but I just can't afford it right now with Christmas coming.

Theres a GB on top mounts. save up. its the most important part of your setup. I regret my ebay shit so bad.

[SamE30e]

I have a HY35. I'll figure a way to make it fit top mount.

[shiboujin]

allegedly the SPA ones will clear as a bottom mount. depends on what turbo you are using too. Much less room on the bottom of an E30. My ebay bottom mount and HX35 wouldn't clear as a bottom setup.

[SamE30e]

So why don't they clear as bottom mount? And has anyone tried the OBX ones?

[shiboujin]

yes they are meant to be bottom mount. even modded to be top mount, mine has cracked 3 times. Don't go ebay. shits too thin and shitty.

Hey,

Has anyone had success with using a Ebay M50 turbo Manifold on the E30. I know Otis makes a manifold but I don't have 700$ kicking around. I saw Yoshi's and his housing hit the valve cover. Are the Ebay manifolds meant to be bottom mount?

Thanks
