Hey guys, will a 951 manifold fit on a 83 n/a?
Thanks

The 951 manifold is designed for the turbocharged car. The plenum volume and runner length would likely hinder performance on an NA car. Also, you would have to change out the entire intake tract to make it work. In short - No.

assuming your talking about intake, yes it will bolt up but the throttle IAC and quite a few other other items are different. It would take some time and parts to make it work.

Ummm...

Yeh, the Turbo intake is pretty inefficient unless pressurized, and even then is not a gem. The NA intake tract by comparison is quite a marvel of efficiency. Leave it be or make it slower. Your choice!

It should "fit", but I have no idea why you would want to put one on unless there is a turbo infront of it.

On the exhaust side.... well same thing except with a turbo behind it.
