I'm thinking about purchasing the Familia/323 GTX intake and exhaust manifold from corksport for my 92 escort gt. does anyone have any experience with either of these two components? I'm thinking about making an adapter flange so that i can fit a t3 super60 onto the manifold. Do you think the intake and exhaust would be able to support 300+whp?

Thanks

yeah that looks pretty sweet, is that an equal length manifold? have you used it or know anyone that has? What about the intake? can i stick with the stock, or go for the gtx? is there really that much difference? Thanks for the link by the way.

those manifolds pop up on ebay every other month or so for about $200. FYI.

what manifold sells on ebay for around 200? the gtx inake, gtx exhaust, or the tubular turbo manifold?

A few questions about the gtx head.... is it a bolt on application? what is the difference from the stock head? what are the advantages? i thought i heard it had sodium filled exhaust valves? lastly, how much are you asking

the stock GTX turbo manifold. I've seen them as low at $50 and as high as $200 on ebay.

yeah but doesn't that put the turbo in the frame rail?

i think i'm just going to go with the manifold from etdracing. now how about intakes? Can i stick with the stock intake, or purchase the gtx intake? whats the difference between the two?

on a miata it puts the turbo into the shelf... but not on a FWD escort. I don't think it put's the turbo into the "frame rail" on any BP engine car.

so does anyone have any info on the differences between the stock intake and the gtx one?

You sure ? I think it will put the snail into the block as the GTX mounts the turbo the opposite way round to the Miata - from the front of the car, intake on the right, exhaust on the left, whereas the Miata engine from the same angle gives intake on the left, exhaust on the right. Turbos are offset to one side - look at the pics, if you turn the turbo round it will hit the block.
For the miata, the distance between the turbo flange and the head flange needs to be larger than for the GTX.
