Alpine Turbo Conversion

Post by hunter »

Hello All

I have a '95 SFA Raider with and Alpine Turbo conversion on the 2.4 22R petrol engine. The exhaust manifold is now beyond repair - people that know tell me the carbon content in the metal is to high to weld it. I have contacted Alpine Developments in Johannesburg but they cannot supply me with a new manifold. Does anyone have suggestions or maybe a spare manifold?

Look forward to hearing from someone...

Welcome Hunter

Unfortunately I dont have a manifold for you but perhaps posting a picture of yours might help the guys with ideas?

I hope you come right.

Hi Hunter

Any of these guys that build custom exhausts and branch manifolds would be able to build you a replacement manifold to replace your current one.

Please update your forum profile with your loccation so that guys can recomend places you can go to.

In Pretoria North is a place by the name of Speedspot that I know of that does this type of thing.
