manifold for lanos sohc engine

Rodd1s · Post by **Rodd1s** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 9:04 am

just out of interest, does anyone know whether any manifold (or turbo-manifold for that matter) from another car fits onto the lanos sohc engine?
or which manifold would need the least modification to make it fit?
or... would i be better off modifying the existing manifold, or getting an adaptor to fit a turbo?
if i can get this information quick enough i can probably still get a turbocharger for free (or a very small fee) from a friend who has about 4 just laying around in the back of his van.

any help/info is appreciated.

If it's free get it anyway tbh.

Sell it on if it's no good to you.

i was thinking that some vaux/opel manifolds would fit. as the engines are very similar. but, jus wana know if any are a direct fit.
im looking to those who hav played around with their manifolds and turbos for some info.

you can always fit the turbo to the OEM mani using an adaptor as long as the turbo is not too big.

well that is an option... but im sure they have to be custom made/manufactured and cannot be bought, or am i wrong?

yes indeed but they are very easy to do at any local machine shop... miles easyer and cheraper than making a new manifold.
