"det" inlet on to "et".....help!
 

Hey just got hold of an s13 det inlet manifold (cheers Adz) to modifiy onto the s12 et manifold... thought it was gonna be easier then it looks but i was wrong. Just wanna see how many people have done it, what options I have of combining the two together & where the best place to cut n shut them together is, any ideas & help welcome.

Thanks James

maybe turbomike would be nice and take a few pictures of the one he has for sale;)

We have never really seen proper pictures of that manifolds fabrication join. It was originally 30psi's and he got it from silvia engineering

i havent got the manifold pukka its still with 30psi at the min

I got pics, I'll put them up later

Thanks 30psi good to see some pics (light at the end of the tunnel for me), so who did the work, any idea on how long it took & how skilled at welding you would need to be?

Thanks James

Silvia Engineering did it.

I imagine you'd have to be pretty damn good at tig welding to do it.

tbh, i would fabricate my own plenum, you may as well design a better plenum, it would be not much more to do your own and easier by the look of that, bad welding on there mart, ally weld needs a lot of practice.:)

I think they just blitzed it with weld to penetrate through to the other side.

Its cast ali as well which will make it harder to weld.

You could use a CA20 inlet, and swap the ends over.
