1.6L HKS Manifold Question
 

For those of you who actually have one...

In your opinion, is there enough clearance to run these two parts off the turbine:

Thanks.

what runner is the flange on?

According to the pic in this thread (which, oddly, is the only pic I've been able to find of the 1.6L HKS) it's the middle. Which is probably bad.

EDIT: Actually, unless it's an illusion, it appears to be slightly offset to the front, but if so, it's not by much.

probably be close with the flex, without it, I'd think it would fit no problems....if anything you can just trim the shelf out a bit and really take care of the heater hoses and brake master.

If I were to guess, I would say there is not enough clearance. If there is room, it would be an extremely tight fit.

email me for pics of the hks turbo set....(i have a lot of pics)

I tried to e-mail you but it said you didn't want to receive e-mails. Mine is jwarriner@gmail.com and I'd love to see any pics you have time to send me.

check my vbgarage if you want to see how much clearance there is.:D

That tells me all I need to know, thanks!

I forgot I had some DP pics posted in my vb garage. This gives you an idea of what a 2.5 inch pipe would look like in a 1.8. I've since made a divorced version. I'll post some pics later.

exactly. I knew one of you guys had done exactly what I was talking about...couldn't remember who.

Thanks, adjusted profile....
