Hello,
Exhaust manifold of The m44 engine is the same as the n42?
Thank YOU!

Welcome to the Forum!
What are you trying to do? Take the downpipes from a N-42 and install them on a M-44? Or are you attempting to install the M-44 header pipes on a N-42?
The short answer is no according to the parts book.

I want to turbo the FUCKING N42.
I found on ebay different turbo kits for the M44 and M42. And I wanted to know if it fits the exhaust manifold on the engine N42 without any chages
This is an experiment with a cheap $ 500 turbo kit. The target will be ~ 170-180 hp in first step. If the engine work good, will be more boosted.
There are other parts to be custom made or to be adapted to other engine models?
Thank you and sorry for my short question without details.

Be easy with the cursing, as there are people here who will report you.
If you want to Turbo the N-42, using a M-42/44 kit will not work. The cheapest bang for your buck would be to drop in a 6-cylinder M-54.

A "cheap ebay kit" .... well, don't be surprised if you get what you pay for, or less. I assume the motor that would receive this is expendable, right?

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to add value to these threads, either by pictures or by descriptions, so the next person with the same or similar problem stands on your shoulders.
