    E36 OBX manifold on 24v swapped E30

    I have yet to find why it will not work in our cars. I have heard people say that it makes the turbo sit near cylinder 1 and doesn't allow you to run a filter or headlight. But my question is can it be slightly modified to work?Cut ,shorten and Re-weld the flange possibly? If someone can please explain this to me it would be greatly appreciated.


    And yes I know Otis/Blunttech is making manifolds for 24v swaps.

    It will need to be modified at the collector to make it work, it's been done before. The only downside to it is that they crack easily.

    Where in FL are you located?

          This

          My buddy is running this in his actual e36 and it would give you about an inch or two before you hit the rad support. I'm pretty sure the waste gate would hit the headlight aswell.

          Btw top mount in e36 is hell, just fitting a downpipe is looking like its gonna be hell in his car
