93 - 95 Scoupe Manifold and Stock turbo bolted up to a 02 1.5L SOHC Accent

Ok, heres the question. Does the stock setup for the exhaust manifold and turbo bolt up to the accent? I know that the exhaust manifold bolts up to the accent. I was just wondering why people are taking just the exhaust manifold from the scoupe and making adapter plates and getting different turbos instead of using the scoupe stock exhaust manifold and stock turbo? Does that not work, am I missing something?uzzled:

I think the reason most people don`t go for a straight bolt-up (which will work) is due to the rarity of Scoupe Turbos.
The chances of finding one at a breakers, especially with a good turbo, must be very slim!. The Garrett T 15 on this car is sealed-for-life, is not servicable & is very small, giving the stock car only 115 bhp., so many tuners go for a bigger turbo, although the GT15 & all T2 series bolt-up.
Bear in mind there is a lot more than just the turbo & manifold you will want from the donor car....you`ll need the ECU, the wastegate control system, the up-pipe & Bosch idle-control equipment & quite a bit more!.
It`s also worth remembering that the Scoupe Turbo had special pistons (7.5:1 c.r.) with under-crown cooling oil-jets & the gearbox had a higher 5th. gear/final drive ratio.
I hope this helps, as there is probably more work involved than you think......especially as you really need to source & fit an intercooler & oil cooler!.
Cheers, Nick.

Well I came about two Exhaust turbo manifolds that are in new condition for around $65 and two more Exhaust turbo manifolds with turbos and downpipe attached also in great condition both of those are for about 200.00. No sensors with any of these 4 items. Thats why I was wondering, because I was thinking if I should start pieceing something together.
