Sohc Turbo Help!!!!!!
 
Hey whats up this is a question for anyone who can help or offer suggestion. First off i got a 94 SOHC proto. I want a turbo for it. The turbo itself isn't expensive or hard to find. The manifold however is Hell. I have been searching for the past month and i haven't found one yet. Ntercooler was easy to find, i cannot find a turbo manifold though. I dont want to do another swap, i had another sohc just put in because the old one blew. Let me know what angles i can take.

Well i think braden was looking into a turbo setup. But i have no idea if it ever got made. I don't see anyone wanting a Sohc turbo manifold so chances are it didn't get made u might be able to go to a cutom shop and have one made for around 450-500 im guessing ..Jon

i dont think braden ever did the sohc manifold. he needed a car to fabricate it off of. i dont think anyone was interested enough to do it though. just swap your head for the dohc and then buy bradens kit.

ughh.. doesn't anyone ever do any research. www.jgstools.com/turbo/ they have turbo manifolds that are log style for the b6e. (that's sohc for the mx3 idno if its the same for 1st gen sohc proteges)

Yes the 1.6 B6 is in some 323s but not the sedans.

There is a thread in the first gen section by Cablemirc regarding the pros and cons of a KLZE v6 swap versus a SOHC turbo... you can find more info in there.
