I have a brand new, never installed OBX turbo manifold for the 97-01 Tiburon. Comes with a gasket and shipped in original box.
I was going to use it on my Beta II turbo project, since everyone said it would fit, which it doesn't. Bolt holes and outside ports don't match up. So instead of butchering the manifold I'm going to try and get a custom top mount made ... hopefully by PeakBoost or Full-Race. It has been painted with a ceramic header paint, but I put it on to thick so don't know if it will stay on. Still needs to be heat cured.
$140 shipped to lower 48 only. If your somewhere else, give me an address and I'll get you an updated price.

does this one have the reinforcement on the other side like the one in picture? the plate thats welded from the exhaust to turbo flange..
im not interested in it (since i have a nice custom one) but if it has the reinforcement this is a hell of a deal for a manifold..
really strange that it wont fit though. people use beta II exhaust manifolds on beta 1s.. weird.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (optimoprime @ Jan 19 2008, 08:00 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>... the manifolds are the same</div>
They can't be ... I have a gasket for the turbo manifold and one for my engine ... there off almost 1/8" in bolt hole location spread on the end holes. The port spacing on the Beta II manifold gasket is wider ... the ports themselves are the same size, they just have a different spacing.
Wanna but it ???

Well ... just think of all the power your losing nana.gif j/k
All I know is the OBX manifold(#10507) won't mount up on a Beta II head, without having some work done on it ... and I want a manifold that fits properly.
