I sold the Whipple and am in the middle of converting to a turbo set up. This is going on my 73 Camaro and rather than building a one-off hot side, I am looking at the possibility of using the KB Racing manifold. I know several guys have used it successfully in the 3rd Gen Nova's but, I can't find anyone who has tried it in a 2nd Gen Camaro. My hood line is just a little lower than a Nova.

Anyhow, the picture below is one I stole from this site off of a member. Pictured is a s475 on a KB racing manifold. I plan on using a similar sized unit.

I need the measurements from A --> B and from B --> C. (A being the accessory bolt hole on the passenger cylinder head, B is the center of turbo (nut on compressor), and C is the highest point/closest to hood of turbo.)

 

Could end up with it looking like this..



This isn't too bad...

 

Hood optional. Just get it installed before I get there

 

Working on it!

The more I look at these photos, the more I am at ease with the compressor housing 'peeking' through the hood.

Not sure I would like the inlet exposed though..

 

Need someone to throw a tape down for me!

 

The Manifolds I build for cars, I build about an inch lower for hood clearance. The manifold on that Malibu was a stock setup I sold him for his truck, that he turned around and used on their Malibu too. I built quite a few for cars that seem to fit pretty well, even with BW turbos.

 

Ended up going custom. Sorry for the crappy phone pics but it's all I have for now.

 

Looks pretty good. I'll be running a Trick Performance log manifold on my s10. I'm not worried about hood clearance. I think, a turbo poking out the hood, looks pretty sweet.
