Hey all
I have a HX with an injected 5.0 VS commodore motor in it, I have just bought 2 turbo's for it and I am about to start geting it all together, before I start making up my own manifolds to run to the turbo's, I was wondering if anyone knows of a place that have the manifolds to suit this sort of project, i dont mind modifing them a bit, i just need them to come forward from the motor so i can bolt each turbo on each side behind the front lights, any help on this would be great. thanks for your time,
Daniel

Put the stock ones on opposite sides? Whatever you do will need to be custom pipes.

yeah, that would be the easiest way, or you could try the EZE 10s turbo kit, but i don't know if it would fit HX.
If nissan motorsport is nismo, then doesn't that make honda motorsport Homo?

Starr Performance and COME do aftermarket inlet manifolds for the injected 5.0 but I don't know if they do specific turbo ones.
A good way for state g |

i think the best way to do this would be to swap the manifolds around and weld bends on the ends pointing up, with the turbo flanges following. you are in luck because HX's have cavernous engine bays.

the hole/extension below the turbo flange is for an external wastegate (depends on whether your turbos are internal or external wastegate. Externals flow more).
If nissan motorsport is nismo, then doesnt that make honda motorsport
