well... to burst your bubble you wont be able to use them. From what I know the manifold will not bolt up to your head and even if they were to bolt up... you would need all the missing parts. Oil lines, intercooler, intercooler pipes, something to tune your car with, and the list goes on. It will cost you a lot to get it to work. Your final price with a custom exhaust manifold you are at the price of a single na-t kit. Good luck with your project.

But if it were so to work i think it would look pretty awesome tho,How much is an NA kit? my co worker has one in his car and he told me i would only have to change my head gasket.

too many factors to give you a price. Cheap route used stuff maybe 1k.... Doing it all the price is up there. It will look cool but would you spend 500 to 2500 for a custom exhaust manifold to fit the stock twins? that's just the manifold not the full kit. There is a good reason why people dump the stock twins. Go to Clubna-t.com they talk about it there a lot or search in here and read up on everything before spending some cash on the project.

you dont even need to change your headgasket..but bottom line, getting the stock twins from the 1j to work would be a hassle, and cost just as much as going na-t the traditional route.

na-t kits will range from $1k-$8k+, but a median is usually in the $5k range. As TL stated, head over to clubna-t.com, and read the na-t basics sticky.

quick rundown on parts you need:

turbo
manifold
wastegate
intercooler with pipes
bov
downpipe
oil feed/return lines
misc. vacuum hoses
safc or some sort of fuel controller
wideband o2 sensor to be safe
boost gauge

i think thats sums it up.
