Newbie with exhaust questions

[Joel_400]

I'd love to own a Syclone or Typhoon but dont...so I picked up a 2wd s10 real cheap with a 4.3. My plan is to turbo the 4.3. Start out were mild with a blow thru carb and if I can make that work maybe upgrade after that. Trying to keep it low budget for now... My question is will the stock Syclone manifolds fit in the 2wd frame? They look like they may and they're available on amazon with the cross over for around 400 bucks. Any input would be greatly appreciated on this matter.
Thank you
Joel

I would say they will. Mikesy converted his to rwd.

The manifolds should fit, but I think you might have a issue with the downpipe from the turbo clearing the crossmember and suspension on a 2wd.

Thank you for the replies! I'm not to worried about the tubing part as much as the manifolds as I have my own exhaust tubing bender. I can make that part to do what I need to do.
ThanKS

The NA 4.3 manifolds and exhaust head pipe are the same on both 2 and 4 WD. EDIT: I take the head pipe comment back. The 4WD headpipe is configured differently to clear the front drive shaft. The front crossmembers aren't. Either is the steering linkage and center link. If there is going to be any interference with the SyTy exhaust in a 2WD frame it is going to be with the front crossover pipe hitting steering parts.

Trying to keep it low budget for now...

It will be cheaper to buy a Typhoon now, than attempt to turbocharge an old S-10. You'll be money ahead, and driving turbocharged power sooner.

I would just buy a 4.8 or 5.3 from the junkyard and turbo that. A lot more power and probably gonna a be cheaper in the long run

It would be more fulfilling to spank my coworkers 5.0 mustang with a 6 cylinder though...a stock ls would already do that...and what fun would that be!

Ya your right. That’s one of the reasons I will never go LS
