Turbo Manifold & Tubing
 

Got a question if anyone out there can answer this for me it would be greatly appreciated. I got a buddy who is working on his 1st generation mazda protege. He has dropped (so he says) a 1.8 liter ford escort GT motor in it. He recently acquired a turbo for it but needs a Turbo Manifold, and tubing for it 90-94. Where can i tell him to look. Personally I own a 99 Z24 im working on and can find everything i need for it, but im having no such luck helping him with his car. If anyone has any info. that i can pass on to him it would be of great value to him... maybe he can get it together and beat me in a race;)

Re: Turbo Manifold & Tubing
 

He probally did, the Escort GT motors are the exact same DOHC motors that come in the Protege LX's. I believe corksport.com has a turbo manifold for the DOHC motor, but piping and a intercooler will need to be a custom job. I'm just in planning stages of turbo build up on my SOHC, so I'm still learning, but there are a few guys on here that have done turbos, and they'll know a lot more then me.

Hey thanks for the replies... Im not doubting that you can do the escort motor swap... Im doubting his reliability on what he tells me. :) But that gives me a heads up on what to tell him. Thanks and if anyone else has any more info keep me posted.:bt:
