**Turbo manifolds**

[gfrg88]

Who's all interested in some some nice quality log manifolds for the ol' A series??? They would be built by a know local fabricator, Pang from Pfabrications. All we would need would be at least a group of 5+ willing to buy.


similar to these..

[gfrg88]

450 shipped.

[ShyBoyCA6]

Hmm....

[gfrg88]

The price is $400. I'm adding 50 on top for the shipping and packaging.


Here's some more info on them:
-AC & PS compatable
-Limited Lifetime warranty against cracking or defects.
-Made of thick wall 304 Stainless Steel for long lasting construction.
-Threaded flanges for ease of installation

We're actually getting a really good deal here guys!!! His manifolds are tipically $330, plus shipping. The price he's told us for a one off custom piece is amazing!!

[stat1K]

ouch 450, if it were like half i'd be in for one just to help out. but since i don't even own an a i couldn't swing it man.

[gfrg88]

Yeah, it's not cheap material. And not something that get's made on a daily basis over seas...I would my self get one MAYBE two just to help out...

[stat1K]

i think i'm spoiled with all the race shops here in az that i know / people i'm friends with know and get good deals from. if you need like 200-250 to finish this, like someone really wants one but just cant come through i'll see what i can do.

What's a limited lifetime warranty?

[Vanilla Sky]

Normally, it means materials and workmanship, not wear and tear.

My question is how do you manage to keep both AC and PS with a log? That makes me really interested. I was going to build my own, but I'd rather a properly engineered solution that's ready to bolt in. It's a shame I can't afford it now. It's also funny that it's more than I paid for the car.

Ohhhh I'm interested hehe... I won't be getting 450 anytime soon thi :(

[gfrg88]

Well this will stay open for now until everyone can hopefully round up some cash.

I'm not 100% sure how it would clear AC and PS. Seems like it would, and he said it should. I don't have any of that so I couldn't tell you. But I will test fit my Mani on a stock accord/Lude and take pics for everyone..

usually it's not so much teh manifold in the way but the plumbing and turbo... you should get one made and mock it up.

I have one. Problem is mine is a huge T4 turbo... Only problem I can see is, it would hit the radiator...

I'll mock it up soon, i hope..

How much turbo can it handle before cracking?

[Vanilla Sky]

I have a tiny turbo from an TII FC RX7, and there isn't room for the everything unless the turbo is mounted in front of the transmission and you eliminate the front motor mount. You're still going to have to run a Civic half radiator. Additionally, there's not much room for an FMIC. You are either going to remove the AC condenser and put it there, or get super creative and hack up the front bumper to make one fit. Of course, you can go top mount or air to water and mount a thinner, but larger, radiator between the AC condenser and the Civic radiator.

Out motor sits closer to the radiator than most people expect, I think. We also have an absolute ton of other stuff to make this work, so it's still only for the DIY guys. When I look at building a turbo kit for these cars for the resale market, I look at a full bolt-on kit that puts the turbo where it needs to be for clearance, and supplies every part needed to install it. I haven't had the money to do the R&D, though.

U should be able to run ps wit it no prob. My log manifold cleared it pretty damn good.

And yea the rad, ps line and ac stuff will have to be moved if u want a fmic. Get gynabo(sp) to chime in.

How much turbo can it handle before cracking?

Well they're supposed to be capable of up to 450+hp. I'm hoping to be pushing 500+ after my build is done... I will then probably upgrade to top mount, and bigger turbo. Depends how everything turns out with my build.


FMIC shouldn't be too hard. Would def need to cut up front bumper support, and cover for sure though. But that's with any car. And same for rad, most cars will need some kind of mod/smaller rad..

[stat1K]

to retain ac a lot of the HMT civic guys use a side mount where the intake box would normally be and then use a smaller say t25 turbo. the whole thing is if you want a FAST car you can't have ac unless you buy a porsche lol...

[AccordEpicenter]

the only thing i would reccomend is cutting the flange between runners or itll eventually crack the manfold. other than that it looks pretty good.

[Vanilla Sky]

Well, you can have AC in a fast car without buying a Porsche. BTDT.

My buddy has Ac and ps in his 328whp B20 DA
