Turbo Monifold's

[Tomisimo]

Hi.
I like to inform you all thet I have being in contact with one company thet would make Turbo monifolds for our A20/B20 engines. Monifolds are ready to install a T3/T4 turbo on.
All they need to know is if quantety will be profiteble, then they make one for us.
So Guyes. Let me know if you want one and will buye one.
The price also depends on quantety!!!

I dont think that there is enough demand for turbo mainfilds for a company to decide to produce them. But i guess its worth a shot.

[A20A1]

B20 has different Exhaust ports then A20

A20 and B20 intake ports are the same though.

It will be hard to find even 10 people to buy up manifolds.

A test model needs to be built first to get rid of any clearance issues

thanks for contacting the company and trying to make parts.

Ok.. i can tri to tolk him to make a regular HI-Flow monigold + turbo ones.
I realy dont think thet on an D16 Civic, is more space under the hood. They make those allready or too B18. So i think thet fitings will be ok.

I setin up a vote...

[ZackieDarko]

if the price was right id buy one

[Tomisimo]

This Vote is directed to this link Turbo Monifolds (http://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58718)

Its a tough thing because we dont have the demand here to make it worth production unless one person takes the hit for the initial production. I went through this with the big brake kit and recently had head flanges made for my B20A so i can have a custom one off turbo manifold made somewhere down the road.

Plus there is someone making A20 turbo manifolds if im not mistaken.

If it were a good design i might be interested in a B20A one but i have someone lined up to make me a custom one when i can afford it.

The only other problem i see is that what are people going to do about downpipes? Justin makes a manifold and downpipe for $500 shipped, heres the one he made me http://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?p=750552#post750552

[Tomisimo]

Well i have asked him for regular monifold, i think there is more demand. I set up a Vote, when i get answer.

lets not forget that you live in europe. the shipping to the US will kill any deal.
I like the style in the pictures, but it would be a lot cheaper if some one in the US made them.

[smufguy]

there were advertised about 4 moths back on Sports compact. and from what i read. its fully CNC machined and targeted towards 4G63s. The only thing i dont like is the log style. But the fancy heat fins look cool and the wastegate is positioned where it should be.

[snoopyloopy]

where's the poll? :dunno:

this is kinda of off topic, but i wonder if you could cook a steak on that grille after it gets nice and hot....hmm....


LMAO IM SUCH A FATASS

[Swap_File]

Same here.

[LiTtLe xOx BitT]

What price is a good price?

[MessyHonda]

What price is a good price?


i got to admit anything over 400 bucks for a mani is crazy...at least for me

[A20A1]

What do you want your poll to say?

I'll add the poll for you.

[Tomisimo]

Yes PPL... Heres whut he wright to me

we could possibly make a non-turbo manifold, we usually specialize in turbo accessories, but anything is possible. Keep in mind that if we are going to produce one manifold, the cost would be a lot greater than the cost of producing a volume.

Do you have a picture of the manifold you can send me so we can see the complexity of the manifold?

Now... Do any of you gues have a detaild pictuare of our stock monifold?

Yeah, about thet Poll. Add 2 questions
1: I'll buye a Turbo Monifold
2: I'll buye a Non Turbo Monifold

[ZackieDarko]

i would do $300 for a log

[shepherd79]

According to their website http://citek.dk//index.php?cPath=245_196 the manifolds are way too expensive. if you convert to US dollars they come out to around $865. If i had that kind money to spend on manifold i would buy this one in the US http://www.evolution-racing.com/store/exmanifold.htm
It is a lot cheaper even with shipping.

? we don't want to use the stock manifold... if we bolted a turbo to the stock manifold it would not fit.

Between the radiator, the front beam, and the engine that tilts forward there is not a lot of room.

Use the Mossleman turbo manifold design, that'll at least fit.

hi,

well volume could be less than 50, but we dont want to be only sell like 2items. average price on a manifold is $600USD, its not cheap, but its billet and guaranteed for life.

things can still be done ;) no worries

we arent going anywhere.

Its a European price... 865USD.

[shepherd79]

what is the diff between european price and US price? the company is based in europe so all the prices are european. lets not forget shipping. i am sure it won't be light to ship that thing.
I am just saying for US and Canada guys, it is a lot easier to get things made in the US for half the price.

Company located in Canada. and those manfolds are not from custed steal. but Aluminium with some ather materials. They are not heawy at all 7-10 lbs.

I think that it will be hard to get people to sign up for any A20 turbo manifold group buy, unless they can see one installed or at least some sort of prototype.

There are just so many variables relating to how it fits. AC support (Yes or No), Radiator support (Stock or B series), etc.

I could see paying $600 for a manifold assuming it was made professionally, was guaranteed to fit (and had pictures of one installed), was somewhat mass produced (so they would be consistently made the same, which it definitely looks like these would be), and was available to buy at any time (without a group buy).

Right now no one is offering this kind of product. Yes, there is that ram horn that Evolution Inc. sells (mentioned earlier in the thread), and you can apparently send a gasket or flange to f22parts.com and get one made ( http://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53391 ), but it all seems to be a lot of work, and it is pretty vague about what is available.

If someone did make a mass produced manifold, they could corner the market, although I am not sure how big that market is... It is all a matter of getting that first one designed, built, and tested...
