Will a D16 header fit my D17?
This is a very very very interesting question that has pondered my mind for years, seriously.
The reason for this was because of the simple fact we could put a turbo mainfold on our cars.
Yea I understand thas not all we need to get through but its a good head start.
I was thinking maybe somethign like a T25 on a d16a and if the header manifold can fit then all we need are the custom lines and pipes to a small intercooler which isnt hard at all considering almost every car goes through that. Then hook up the oil return lines to power the turbo.
Isnt hat basically the hard part? Or am I missing a big chunck. The returnless fuel line will still come in play unless we keep it at a safe 2-3 psi.
Because to my knowledge finding a d16 header to fit will also mean a d16 turbo manifold.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
No?
I donno,
I think Im jus dreaming. But it seems logical.

the header for the d16 will fit on a d15 and a zc so why not a d17
different liter means different head=non interchangeable is not true the JDM ITR header will fit on a b16 as well as a b18...

all u need to do is fill in the old bolt holes then drill new ones.... or if u are good and own a shop like i do u can take the flange off of the D17 exhuast manifold then weld the D16 onto it..[hr]
