no it won't fit, because the turbo bolts to it.. on an n/a that would mean a rather LARGE exhaust leak and would also require you to buy a new downpipe to bolt to it, in this case a bit more than just a downpipe..
also, the quality is not as bad as some people say.. i run it on my car with no problems.

that ss autochrome company apparently sold a turbo kit for a sr20det and someone bought it just to see if it was any good. the turbo was seriosly held together by 2 of the crappiest welds i ever saw and anyone else will probably ever see, i will get the link that i saw this on later. They may have good manifolds though.

exhaust goes through the turbo and then out the downpipe, you are missing a vital extension piece in the exhaust flow in an n/a. why not just buy an n/a manifold?
i just said the manifold was fine.... yep, i sure did.

Are you trying to boost your N/A? Because otherwise Karack is right and you are going to have a big exhaust leak by running that turbo manifold w/o bolting a turbo to it...

Will the stock, thick-*** cast iron crack EVENTUALLY? YES, YES IT WILL. Karack has been running his for quite some time, without problem.
Original poster: Dude, you need to spill the beans. Are you trying to turbo an NA? You never implied this, you are making it sound like you are trying to make this manifold into a header.
If you are trying to turbo your NA, then yes, this manifold will fit just fine. If you get the one that works with stock turbo, you can port-match a turbo intake manifold to work on the 6-port engine, and everything will work and function just like a turbo engine. BUT YOU NEED A TURBO! :-O

theres a reason why they call it ssautocrap. why not spend the couple hundred extra to get a manifold that isnt as prone to cracking. its your decision. some people have been runing it for years and not had a crack. some people have had it on their car and never cranked the car and the manifolds crack.
i would buy this over anything ssautocrap sells.

there is a ton of info on turbocharging an NA. information about simply putting a turbo manifold on an NA is non-existent because it's an idiotic thing to do.

I've seen HKS log style mani's crack....
I don't see your point? The exhaust manifold on a turbo car has a tonne of wieght hanging off of it, a TONNE of temperature, a tonne of rapid temperature changes, etc etc.....ANYTHING will crack or break over time with enough abuse.
The SSAC manifold could be purchased 3 times before reaching the cost of a brand new log style one from greddy.......just FYI

save your breath, seriously, ask him if he has ever bought and used an SSAC manifold within the last 1.5 years. people around here are like damn parrots and speak what people tell them to say.

I don't think you're giving out very valid information either, unless you base "valid" off of what everyone else says?
PS: Stop being an *******. This is a forum to help eachother out, not try and be smarter than one another.

i'm not saying i fully comprehend the thread, i mean it's not easy with jibberish like "posble", "dus" and "crapy", but it sounded like that's what he wants to do.

this thread needs deletion.
