No the flange is a one direction type thing on the engine block.
I don't see why you wouldn't want a bottom mount manifold though, you can use the SR downpipes and crap with that.

Re: 1984 datsun s12 200sx drift build
if i flip the manifold upside down, and flip the turbo backwards, wouldnt that be a top mount?
it does mount up upside down also
i was concerned because on another forum someone mentioned that, so i had to ask. im convinced its a bottom mount

I thought it was 4 on one side and 3 on the other. I am not sure though because I haven't looked a KA in a loooonnngg time, haha. It should only fit one way though.
Also, top mount manifolds aren't shaped like that at all.
