:I hear you had issues with your engine not fitting in the car with ixclr8's manifolds.
:These manifolds mount the turbos in the exact same location as OEM, and the manifolds themselves fit within the existing area as OEM. So I don't anticipate any issues, but we'll find out within a week.Since you have invoked my screen name, and are questioning my manifold design, let me comment briefly. The issues with Tyler's car, utilizing GT28R turbos is primarily limited to space constraints of his dual port actuators. Instead of a "fitment" issue regarding my manifold design, this is a general fitment issue that just goes hand in hand with one trying to install a larger turbo than the car was designed for. The GT28R can be istalled with no modification to motor mounts, downpipes, or oil and cooling lines. This also applies to a "stock" turbo application as well. I apologize for bogarting this thread, but I still believe in acuracy in reporting. Mike's finished work looks great. As one who has dealt with all the issues concerning improving the exhaust system of the Z32, I have great respect for his accomplishment. They still don't hold a candle to the size of my pipes, but will, I'm sure demonstrate themselves to be a great stock replacement. Thanks though for asking,
Jon Abeler, Abeler Automotive Engineering (AAE)
