Finally going to turbo my 2011 aveo5 lt

[Daox]

Oooh thats right, OP and you have 2nd gens. Blah, my bad.

[Pickles]

and actually my stock mani wouldn't work, due to the pre-cat being attached before the flange. stupid catalytic converters...

[Daox]

If you're cutting things, why not just chop it off?

[Hondahunter]

My plan on the manifold is either get a stainless blank cut from gasket and weld to a eBay manifold or take stock and adapt to fit my k03

[Pickles]

Daox, IIRC the way the pipes merge into the precat is... less than stellar for cutting
Hondahunter, I think you missed my earlier question, is our aveo auto or manual?

[Hondahunter]

It is an auto for now after I do the turbo it will be time to track down the 6sp manual out of a sonic

[Pickles]

I was gonna say, if you are manual you are gonna have problems, namely the clutch
Heres a couple of pics I snagged of the stock mani for anyone curious

[Hondahunter]

I've been giving serious thought to making my own manifold but I'm leaning towards modifying the stock one

[Pooh Man]

Just throwing out an idea. Since dgoody modified a B16 header for an N/A motor, why not get a stainless B16 turbo manifold n n modify the flange. Just a lil additional info I found a cast manifold on a site called SPATURBO- problem is I can make out enogh words but I beleive it is portugese( or brazilian )

[Hondahunter]

I'm more than likely going with a stainless manifold from either a b16 or a focus either way I'm gonna have to flange both ends since a k03 manifold that is not for an Audi or vw is difficult to find so I will find one with external wastegate and add o2 bung with the flanges Yaay I get to weld lol
