Turbo Manifold Nissan SR20 NEO VVL High Mount
Nissan SR20 NEO VVL High Mount Turbo Manifold
Developed for SR20 NEO VVL turbo builds, this manifold takes the proven layout of Walton Motorsport's original SR20 high-mount manifold and adapts it specifically to suit the NEO/VVL cylinder head.
It provides the same high-mount turbo architecture developed through years of SR20 applications, but with the correct fitment for builders using the higher-flowing NEO VVL head in performance street, drift, drag and competition engines.
Nissan SR20 NEO Turbo Manifold - Developed Specifically for the NEO VVL Head
The NEO VVL cylinder head has become a popular choice for serious SR20 builds, combining the compact SR20 platform with Nissan's variable valve lift and timing technology.
This manifold is designed specifically around that cylinder head, providing a purpose-built solution for NEO VVL and VVL-head-converted SR20 engines rather than adapting a conventional SR20DET manifold.
Nissan SR20 NEO Turbo Manifold - High Mount Turbo Configuration
The high-mount layout provides the space and accessibility required for a modern performance turbo system, keeping the turbocharger and associated hardware accessible while allowing the surrounding intake, exhaust and charge system to be built around the requirements of the engine.
The current manifold is available with a GV28 turbo inlet, providing the foundation for a modern V-Band turbocharger installation.
Nissan SR20 NEO Turbo Manifold - Wastegate & Boost Control
The manifold features a 40–50 mm external wastegate port, allowing the final wastegate size and flange to be selected around the turbocharger, boost level and intended use.
The wastegate runner is positioned to give the wastegate strong access to exhaust flow through the collector, helping maintain effective boost control as turbocharger size, engine speed and exhaust flow increase.
Nissan SR20 NEO Turbo Manifold - S-Chassis & ABS Compatibility
Like the conventional SR20 version, the NEO VVL manifold has been designed to remain compatible with ABS-equipped applications, including the Nissan S15.
This is particularly useful when building a VVL-powered street or competition S-chassis where retaining the factory ABS system is important.
As with any engine or cylinder-head conversion, final clearance should be confirmed around the individual engine position, turbocharger and surrounding components.
Building Your Nissan SR20 NEO VVL Turbo System
The manifold forms the foundation of a custom high-mount NEO VVL turbo system. Turbocharger, wastegate, downpipe, intake, charge piping and supporting oil and coolant plumbing should be specified around the engine combination and intended use of the car.
If you're building an SR20 NEO VVL or VVL-head conversion and aren't sure which turbocharger or wastegate configuration best suits the combination, contact Walton Motorsport before ordering and we can help establish the appropriate specification.

Built to Last. Backed for Life.
A lifetime warranty is easy to offer. Building a turbo manifold that's unlikely to ever need it is the hard part.
You can find the full details of the Walton Motorsport Warranty HERE
Every Walton Motorsport manifold is engineered to withstand the extreme temperatures, vibration and abuse that come with high-performance street and race applications. From material selection and fabrication to our cast collectors and proven designs, durability is built into every product.
The biggest inconvenience of a failed manifold isn't the repair—it's the downtime, the labour to remove it, and the event or track day you might miss. That's why our focus has always been on preventing failures before they happen, not simply replacing parts after they do.
We're proud to stand behind every manifold we manufacture with a Lifetime Warranty. While no mechanical component is indestructible, our goal has always been simple: build products that earn your trust by performing reliably for years to come.
Because when you choose Walton Motorsport, the last thing you should be worrying about is your manifold.
Material Selection
Every Walton Motorsport manifold starts with carefully selected 304 stainless steel tubing. Not all 304 stainless is manufactured to the same standard, and the quality of the tubing plays a critical role in the durability of the finished product.
Turbo manifolds are subjected to thousands of extreme heat cycles throughout their life. Lower-quality tubing can fatigue over time, and we've seen inferior materials crack or split along the welded seam under these conditions. That's why we specify the exact tube grade and wall characteristics we know will perform reliably in demanding street and motorsport applications.
Our cylinder head flanges are designed in-house and precision cut using modern fibre laser technology, providing exceptional dimensional accuracy and repeatability. Compared to traditional CO₂ laser cutting, fibre laser cutting delivers cleaner edges and tighter tolerances, ensuring an accurate fit and consistent sealing.
Manufacturing Process
Port-Matched Flange Construction
Rather than simply welding the runners to the face of the flange, Walton Motorsport machines each runner to pass through the flange before it is TIG welded from both sides. The ports are then hand-finished to produce a smooth, uninterrupted transition from the cylinder head into the runner.
This manufacturing method delivers several important advantages:
- Increased weld strength and long-term durability.
- Improved gas flow by eliminating abrupt transitions.
- A smoother change from the oval exhaust port to the round runner.
- Reduced turbulence for improved exhaust efficiency.
The result is a manifold that is stronger, flows better, and is built to withstand years of hard use.
Cast Merge Collector
At the heart of every Walton Motorsport manifold is our proprietary cast merge collector, designed entirely in-house.
Our latest collector design delivers the highest wastegate flow we've achieved while maintaining excellent merge efficiency into the turbine. The internal geometry provides smooth gas transitions, minimising turbulence and helping to reduce exhaust gas temperatures without sacrificing performance.
Unlike fabricated collectors assembled from multiple sections, our one-piece cast design eliminates internal joints and welds within the collector itself. This not only optimises gas flow but also significantly improves structural integrity, reducing the likelihood of collector failures that can damage turbochargers or engines.
Every design decision is made with the same objective: maximum performance, exceptional durability, and complete confidence when pushing your engine to its limits.
