Does anyone no if the blacktop and silvertop inlet and outlet manifolds are the same? Its for doing my first zetec turbod blacktop on a budget as i no i can use the erst exhaust mani and efi frst inlet on a silvertop but not sure about blacktop.This budget one is more for fun to see haw cheap i can do it and make it work wile i build a fully forged blacktop after the funds are build up.

The exhaust manifold is also the same as the 1.6 & 1.8 cvh, though the stud pattern is different. That's not too difficult to overcome though.

Its going turbo though so i have three options focus rs mani(£290-odd) no thanks,escort rst or fiesta mani but i have to drill and tap new bolt holes(this is what i am more tempted to do) or use the standard focus mani and chop and weld a plate onto it for bolting on a turbo but i need to find out how much room i have for a turbo with the old rs style mani and with the modified focus mani.
