cheap turbo manifold

**ryer_s** · 05-05-2003, 12:07 PM

my right axle was out so i went to replace it and while i was under my car i was just looking around and saw that the were the header and exhaust meet. i was under the assumtion that the header and the exhause meet further back then what it really does. in fact they meet right at the edge of the block. but were they meet is to small of a space for a turbo but not for a bend. you will lose your a/c and power steering, but you can get a 180 pipe bend weld a flange that will meet up with the header and on the other end weld your turbo manifold. have the bend go to the right were the a/c and power steering is and boom that is were your turbo will sit. you will proably have to play with the turbo to make sure that the oil lines will be north to south but that isnt a big deal. and there is your turbo manifold for under a 100 bucks easy. yes you will lose your a/c and power steering and have a LITTLE turbo lag but its a 100 dallor turbo manifold.

for like $400? If you have the money thats cool, but ryer_s is talking about a cheap alternitive that you can do yourself.

I don't care about my A/C to much but I really don't want to loose my power steering. If you caould think of another way it would be awesome.

**Mike's89AccordLX** · 05-06-2003, 10:26 AM

Yeah I would like to keep the PS if possible.

**ryer_s** · 05-06-2003, 10:28 AM

i havent had the time to check to see if the turbo will run into it. really just depends on how high the bend and turbo is. i have other shit to fix on my car first. but its coming along hopefully next month i will be putting the first part of my turbo setup together.

**Mike's89AccordLX** · 05-06-2003, 10:39 AM

Sweet take lots of pics too.

**Grant2k** · 05-06-2003, 10:51 AM

you might be able to make more room by using the tiny radiator out of a civic.

**Mike's89AccordLX** · 05-06-2003, 10:52 AM

Yeah that should make more room and you might not have to remove all that stuff.

**ryer_s** · 05-06-2003, 02:31 PM

ya my main worry is that the bend is going to be to much of an angle. and if it is that will cause tons of port flow lost. it doesnt matter either way with the raditor because the bend has to be to the left or right. because the frame and block gets in the way any other way. like i said i will proably start this next month. due for the fact of money and all the other shit i have to fix on my car.

**Grant2k** · 05-06-2003, 04:43 PM

i think the radiator matters because you need someplace for the intake hose to go. it will probably have a pretty wicked bend in it.

**theBeline** · 05-06-2003, 05:31 PM

Ok ok, so I know I haven't got the balls to back much of anything up right now. But I will...

THE YOU WILL ALL SUFFER!!! *MUAHAHAHAHA* *MUAHAHAHA* *MUA- g2g dinner...

what are you talking about?

**AccordEpicenter** · 05-06-2003, 08:17 PM

what about getting some steel exaust tubing and a used pacesetter header, cutting the primary tubes about 2 inches from the flange, and weld in your own steel exaust tubing with a turbo flange on it and a wastegate tube too. Then you have the a pipe from the pacesetter and all that that you can modify to get it to work... sounds simple and cheap to me, and if you screw it up... hey its only a pacesetter.

**ryer_s** · 05-07-2003, 05:25 AM

its got to be cast iron. because those headers were never designed to see boost and most likey wont be able to handle the stress from the pressure. theBeline your a dumbass just go back to your bird shit mods. man lst night i messed up bad. i was coming home. i was going a little faster on the access road and some guy cut me off. i was in the middle lane. so i jump to the right lane. then he doesnt check again and jumps into my lane again. the whole time we are going about 50mph everytime he is bearly missing me. but now the last time he cut me off his truck and my car were over lapping each other. so basically he is going to nail me. and my car isnt breaking fast enough. so i was like fuck. i easyied my right tire next to the curb and then use to to throw my car him. it slowed me enough down and i bearly missed him but but my motor is old and i stalled it about 4500 rpm. so i give the guy a normal bird and coast into a parking lot. now my car wont start. at first it sounds like it has a low battary. but after cranking on it for a while the starter can finally speed up the engine enough for it to take off. oil is coming out all over the motor. and know there are about 3 knocks. so my motor is fucked and im looking for another a20.

**AccordEpicenter** · 05-07-2003, 10:36 AM

ok then what about a b16 or somthing else and redrill the bolt holes like the b16 intake manifold or somthing...

**89cordlx** · 05-07-2003, 12:03 PM

hehe, talkin about doing all these mods, then of course the car breaks.

**Justin86** · 05-07-2003, 06:31 PM

Did you get his plates? If you did make him pay for all the damages and then find were he lives and fuck up his truck. LOL

**ryer_s** · 05-07-2003, 10:10 PM

ya my motor took it in the butt bad. i called around and it looks like the going rate is about 400 bucks just for the motor. so i bet i can find it for 300. just sets things back a bit. i dont know if i really want to screw with this motor up or try to keep to build it up for major boost. because im temped just to strap a turbo on it and let it fly for a bit. who knows. i would like to see what gives first on this block. would be cool to watch a motor scatter all over the road at 30 lbs of boost.

To begin with the flange isn't thick enough.

**AccordEpicenter** · 05-08-2003, 10:09 AM

well then what about redrilling a b16 or b18 maybe F22 turbo flange to get it to fit?

**ryer_s** · 05-08-2003, 08:51 PM

that is to much work already im talking about easy

**AccordEpicenter** · 05-08-2003, 09:10 PM

im not worried about the amount of work... i have access to a MIG welder, im going for low cost
