Wrong Manifold
Sunday, February 25, 2007 11:15 AM
Well i got a manifold last week and the description said 98-01 2.2l Cavalier, so I didnt bother looking at it (friend ordered cavi is his). well we got it I looked at it and um, how in the hell is this thing suppose to fit?

Anyone use a centered manifold on a 2.2?

I read in the ecotec boost faq that the geomety is the same between all three j engines is the same, but I don't know whether or not this is true. But that is the mani for the 2.2 ohv, I had the same problem ordering from obx, they don't specify that it's for the ohv and not the ecotec.

I don't see the problem...It looks like it angles the turbo down, so the downpipe should be far enough down to clear the alternator bracket.

it points the turbo up not down. The more i look at it the more i think it will work.

You know you can rotate each part of the turbo, right. Well, at least you should be able to.

Yea on mine you can rotate the hot and cold side 180$, a few of them you can only position them by the different bolt holes in the housing.

OBX makes a turbo manifold for the 2200? It's not listed on their web page.......knock off maybe?






Re: Wrong Manifold

I spent some time trying to locate another OBX racing turbo manifold for the cavalier and cant find one....at all. I sent an email to OBX seeing if they have one just not listed on their home page and if they even know about the ebay seller. In my email I sent a link to the auction.

I also sent an email to the guy who sold it on ebay. With any luck I will get an email from both. If they do infact offer the manifold I might have just found my turbo manifold for my LN2

I'll let you guys know what I find out.

Definitely puts the turbo up high (the second pic is for flange placement comparison)...... I'd think it would be damn close to the hood....... let alone, how would you run the DP?

maybe someone needs to post up a turbo 2200/2.2 so we can visualize it.


The manifold does look pretty good, construction wise (although the DSM guys say the OBX turbo header for the 4g63 is junk).......
