As above, C20NE turbo seems relatively common in FWD applications, but I've never seen it done on RWD.

Manifold I suppose would be the main issue, I've seen this sort of thing floating about Cheapo Ebay Manifold but these are designed for FWD applications I expect, so I'm not sure what clearance would be like on the Manta inner wing/chassis.

Anyone got any thoughts?

Gary, I just had a quick look through that thread; well, I say a quick look, just realised it's killed a couple of hours for me and I didn't read anywhere near all of it. All I can say is wow, I'm not worthy  :blink:

Yeah that topic is a monster, I've read bits here and there over the years but I need to put aside some time to read it properly!

There used to be one here in Denmark, it was not "over-tuned" but still it produced 192 very good and reliable horsepower. Ran very smooth. Fitment is not a problem as the exhaust manifold is at the other side of the engine, so no clearance issues with brake servo etc. Brilliant build for a rhd car ! Posted Image
