Evo 8-9 turbo adapter flange for dsm turbo manifold

93GSX5SPD · Oct 4, 2010

I was browsing ebay looking for a used hot side when I stumbled across an adapter flange to bolt an evo 8-9 turbo on to a dsm manifold. Now I have no desire to do this but it did make me wonder if any one has tried this part. Imo the routing of the intake piping would be a pita. None this less I always find discussing this kind of stuff interesting.

I've heard of it being done, but I dunno how much I would trust something off eBay..

It's an adapter flange, I.E. no moving parts. It would be fine to use.

Ya but is it really going to fit is the question..

If some one has done this I would like to see it. Like I said the intake pipe routing would be a pita.

No, normally people make parts for specific applications that dont work at all.

Its been done, google search. And why would the routing be a pain? May be easier to use an external gate though. From the pics I have seen of the EVO 8 turbos, they fall straight down on the cold side anyway.

Not really worth the extra work when there is a gazillion turbos allready available for the 4g we use.

The turbo from the EVO 9 has a 10.5CM hot side on it compaired to "our" 7cm. There is a massive difference in the flow numbers Sleeps. The flange design on the EVO's is 1000 times better than the one on our belovid DSM's.

Stock for stock I can agree fully, but is it better than anything aftermarket that can bolt up to our application? Pound for pound is it better than what is available?

Can't forget twin scroll too....
This will null it's bigger size and help with spoolup.

Well all know everybody loves Evo parts on there DSM but This is a Great idea for someone that wanted to do the work and not just go with said 16g/18g/20g

What would make it even more interesting is a EvoX Turbo Adapter haha

I totally agree with you on it not really being worth it. But When I saw this it got the gears turning in my head. I've got a friend who has one of these laying around and I know he's the kind of guy to try this type of thing out. Now that I saw this pictures of the dsm on tuners I guess the routing wouldn't be bad at all.

Hes exactly right which is why this would appeal to some one with one of these turbos laying around.

Didn't someone on here do this? If I remember right they were trying to sell all of it.

If you have the money and time I think it would be cool to do. Just to be different and rock much newer designed turbo. Thumbs up, Id try it if I had one lying around.

How is an adapter flange made which effectively adapts a reverse-rotation twin-scroll turbine housing to a manifold designed for a standard-rotation single-scroll turbocharger?

Either you're going to need to mount the turbo so the inlet is on the driver's side of the car (completely illogical) or install a half-rad so the turbo will sit where the rad should be in order to make this work effectively. Either way, we're talking about way too much work to install a 16G on a DSM.

If you try installing it with the inlet facing the passenger's side, you'll end up with something like this:
