Ram Horn Manifold With Turbo

[bobafett]

Sorry Boba I goofed and deleted your thread :(



I got a good deal on it from AccordinglyAZ... he bought it from elijah, and elijah is the one who had it built; so thats who you should be asking... But I will say I think I got a really fair price for it. If AZ wants to disclose it its up to him...

As far as I know there aren't any of these floating around 2nd hand.

I would guess to get one fabricated would cost between $600-$1000. And would probably cost $200-$400 to build yourself?

All I know is they still cost a lot even for B-series setups, so a 'custom' manifold for the A20 sure isn't going to be any cheaper.

To build your own:
collector: $150

header flange: $40
http://www.bmcrace.com/product_info.php?products_id=112
wastegate flanges: $18 for mild / $50 for 304SS
http://www.bmcrace.com/index.php?cPath=136
12 x 1.5" 304SS mandrel bend 90 degree : $8x12 = $96

3 x 1' - 1.5" 304SS pipe : $10x3 = $30
http://acestainless.com/index.php?ac...&productId=114
Total: $366 for a pretty much stainless one...
and there are probably some bends in there i am not accounting for.

It just showed up today! Can't wait to get it in the car, but I have a lot of work to do before the car will even fit in my garage (driveway is steep, need to build ramps lol)
Enjoy! I think this will work well:
btw for those who are wondering, its a Garrett T3/T4 turbo. .60/.63 57trim, with a stage 3 wheel. supposedly good for 600+ hp...
just like this one:

I think I see a hole in one of the welds :)

[bobafett]

Looks good bobafett. Hows the clearance under the hood. I'm just starting my OBDI today. Just got pulled in the bay.

i will check it out later, but i am pretty sure there are no actual holes in this manifold after a fairly thourough inspection upon receiving it. :) :)

underhood clearances haven't been checked cause my accord isnt in the garage yet. but i am assuming i will need a civic radiator, and have to build a solid front motor mount that is just "L" shaped, to gain clearance for pipes down there. :) small price to pay. and my engine is already stiff ass hell with poly mounts. so whats a little solid steel mount to add to the mix/???!!! hehe

Oh Forgot to ask how is the access to the plugs. Thxs Messy for the welcome home

I'm interested in that too, now that you mention it.
