Turbo And Manifold, Need Help!
#21
A while back there was a white turbo miata with a sidemount. It used a Saab 900 I/C and had a hood scoop. The IC layed semi-flat next to the intake manifold. I thought it was pretty neat, but not sure how efficient the set was.
---Nissan used to have a 1.8L top mounted I/C. The IC sat directly on the engine.---It's the I/C I use, I had to take it a part and rotate the tanks for it to be a FMIC...

OK here's what you'll need:
You can do this without welding, but you'll need a few more hose clamps...
A saw for cutting metal; sawzall, grinder w/ metal cutoff wheel, chop saw w/ metal cutting blade(their only like $5 @ HD), hacksaw if you're that cheap.
From JCWhitney
3 2 1/2" 90 degee bends
1 2" 180 degree bend
2 2" 90 deg bend if you get the long 'legs' one, you'll have enough pipe
1 exhaust adaptor 2" to 2 1/4"
From Autozone
2" ID 90 bend radiator hose part#002482 s-531
2" ID 90+ other bend radiator hose part#885269 m-079
The input of the saab is 2 1/4" the output is 2 1/2"
Hose clamps- Ideal brand seem to work best
You'll have to source up some 2 1/2" rad hose --truck suppliers, most autostores sell it by the inch(it's used for to enclose fuel filler tubes)

I just used just the cheap 16ga stuff. After I welded and cleaned the pipes w/ spirits-- I placed them in an oven @ 400 degrees for ~ 15min. Then I put the pipes on a stick in the backyard and sprayed them with engine enamel Ford red. The paint adheres to the hot pipes real nicely-- you can coat as many times as you want...
My DP is stainless...
Also you'll need a 1 2 1/4" coupler (like 3" of rad hose) and tubing for you intake. IIRC I just used a 2 1/2" 180 u bend.

Outside Diameter---That's exactly where and what I bought.
This may help you visualize a little. My list isn't exact. you'll need to add some pipe for the AIC valve and a BOV, but that only requires a 1" hole saw (a drill) some " black pipe(available @ any hardware store and some JB weld to seal it in place
mmm link no worky here...
