Large turbo on ebay log manifold?
 

Alright i know the first reaction most of you will have is to tell me how inapropriatley sized this turbo is for a 1.6l or even for a 1.8. I do understand that the turbo would not work well for what most of you do, and it may even be a little big for what i want to do but it will get the job done.

what i have is a holset hy35 with the .65 AR t3 housing.
I need to know how much room i will have with the ebay cast taco taco manifold. The compressor housing on this turbo is huge and i dont want to buy a manifold for my 1.6 and have it not fit.

Don't build setup around turbo. Especially one you already know is inappropriately sized from the get-go.

sell turbo, buy 1.8L.

I already have a bp4w sitting in my garage. The only reason i am not sure about swapping it is because its dificult to source a reasonably priced t3 manifold. Yes i know the DOC manifold for 759 is not unreasonably priced but it does not fit my budget, a treadstone DIY log may be the route i go.
Also dont the bps and b6s have the same rods? and the rods are the weakest link from what i understand. This would suggest that the 1.6l is stronger since it has a lower rod ratio. Then again with the larger valves and better head flow the bp4w may very well be able to handle a little more power since it can get the spent combustion out soo much more easily.

Its not stronger. Its not "anything" actually. Its inferior in every way. If you have a BP4W its not even a question of which motor you should use.

And you'll have to build either way if you want to use a big ol holset on a miata engine.

meh..

There is some good input here. You should ignore all of it.

Don't do it unless you have baller everything. Your block will fucking break in half.

You have the better motor sitting in your garage. Stop being a cheap ass.
