Does anyone have a top mount header installed on their SR?

Besides the Ebay headers, does anyone else make one?

Are these headers flanged for the stock turbo, or can a stock turbo bolt onto them?

Does anyone have pics of one of these headers installed in their car?

Sooooo many questions that need answers!!

Thanks!

Manifold, Not header.

Lots of companies make them, a quick search on google would probably pull up 5 or more.

Stock turbo will work.

The “Cheap” ones on that site need to be welded together, incase you didnt notice. Pre-built ones are over $400 from what i can see.

Yeah thats fine…little welding never hurt no-one. That’ll let me position the turbo exactly where I want it.

I have not really seen any top mount SR mani’s that will acceept the stock T2-based turbo. Most aftermarket mani’s are flanged for T3 turbos.

And here is one of my last setups.

This is a Full-Race twinscroll mani mated to a twin scroll GT30R

Nice, well I’m glad to see the GT30 doesn’t stick up past the valve cover. That was my worry with the T25, so hopefully that build your own header link I posted above doesn’t make it sit too high. I’ll probably just get a T2 flange and weld it on instead of the options they give you.

Some custom manifold I got off ebay. Currently running a 50-trim turbo on it at 18psi.  
The turbo pictured with the CD-ROM is not the 50-trim - that’s some other T3 I had in the past.
