IIRC the inlet spacing differs between the two engines. Adapter perhaps?

Idk, but you can get m10 turbo manifolds on the cheap. M42 not so much

**AndrewBird** · 07-11-2011, 10:25 PM

M5x motors use the same spacing. I know Danny modified an M5x turbo manifold for his turbo M42. Just cut off two pipes and weld the opening shut.

M10 manifold will not fit m42

**Dj Buttchug** · 07-12-2011, 12:21 PM

wont fit. buy m50 manifold flip and chop off the last two cylinders, as said before its about 150 bucks or so by the time your done

**GunMetalGrey** · 07-12-2011, 06:30 PM

Best place for m50 manifold? ebay only has 198 $ ones

**Dj Buttchug** · 07-12-2011, 08:49 PM

that seems like more than i paid for mine. this is style you need. The cast ones wont work because you need to be able to hack it up and mod it.

this is UK which sucks... maybe the price has gone up :(

**GunMetalGrey** · 07-12-2011, 08:52 PM

Any advice for pulling the old manifold off? Those bolts dont look like fun

**Dj Buttchug** · 07-12-2011, 08:57 PM

pb blaster some beers and a afternoon. its alot easier from underneath, even more so with the engine out obviously. The pb blaster should get em tho.

and a bfw a really bfw, buy yea the m5x manis work good, o and also dont skim on the head gasket

**GunMetalGrey** · 07-12-2011, 09:52 PM

Planning on running low boost for a bit so I dont need to change the Head gasket. And if by bfw you mean big fucking wrench, I have that :)

**PFCRayB** · 07-12-2011, 09:54 PM

I was only running 8 and blew mine.......and yep a big fucking wrench

**GunMetalGrey** · 07-12-2011, 09:56 PM

ahh, I really don't want to change the Head gasket.....

**PFCRayB** · 07-12-2011, 09:58 PM

Just do it and then when you want more power you don't need to worry about it later
