Any b18ft experts plz!!

ive been searching for days trying to find out if there is a simple way to get a t3 or t25 to fit straight on or with minimal work to the b18ft manifold as machinists are few and far between round here, ive read a few posts on 480 owners but its still quite confusing, i would like to use the t25 and i know a t25 will bolt straight on to the ex manifold but then what exhaust elbow do i use,oil adapter plate ect?? or would it be easier to use a t3 and what parts exactly would i have to source?? like i say id like to use t25 but the main pro is joining the exhaust to downpipe, if anyone has a solution to this please tell as the standard turbo is running out of puff to early for my liking, thanks Tim

i had a manifold mabe up by bigjim racing keeps the turbo in the same place as on the c1j so you use all the gtt exhaust parts.

oh, thats sound interesting, how much did that set you back overall and do you have a website address or phone number for them?? thanks

http://www.bigjimracing.co.uk/home.html jim makes lots for the c1j and has done some tubular manifolds for the b18ft (marky mark has one). I went for a log type to keep costs down but was told it should flow enough for 250bhp. He sourced a b18ft head off of scoff but didnt get inlet manifold and made the ex manifold flange to thin so it didnt bolt up so i had to sort that and the flande fowled on the block and i had to cut it back a bit. Would be best if you could give him your block head manifolds etc... but as you are far from him make sure he sources an inlet manifold or has the thickness of it;) think mine cost me £225 inc postage heres a thread on what i got. https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=17142
