lookin for turbo manifold!

[buds302]

i know its been asked and been told but anybody know where i could find one. or have one made without havin to drive 600 miles to get it made, maybe like a website or a phone number, something

UPDATE: found out where to get entire turbo kit.
i sent out an email saturday and got a response two hours later about a turbo kit. i said: "hi i am very interested in your complete turbo kit for
hondas. but i own an 89 honda accord lxi. it has an a20a3.now me and about 200 people are wondering if you can do a kit for us. now my brother gave me this site cause hes gonna buy your zc to ls head package soon. i can send you an exhaust manifold if you need a template. if its all good ill let people know but if it aint i wont tell them so you guys wont get a
bunch of emails of stupid ques. please email me back bcause there is nobody
in this world that wants to make a manifold for us. and those who already have it have a ghetto rigged setup with leaking welds and gaskets. WE
NEED HELP PLEASE!"
they said:"Ok well I will need some dimensions. Really to build a jig I would
need the car, but I can freehand it if I have the exhaust manifold and
dimensions from the engine bay, and front bumper. This way I know how to make the piping. I can do them and not only that but I will beat any
competitors price. Let me know. Thanks again"
thin i said:"dude you are the best. i need to know which dimensions you need and i can send you the stock exhaust manifold but i am using an aftermarket exhaust header on my car. i cant bring you the car unless you are close to me cause i cant get off work. please fell free to call me you can get a hold of me anytime on the number i provided or i could call you. your name is josh right? my brother let the word out about your web site on 3geez.com. so youll probably get a bunch of calls or emails about the same thing.but let me know what the price is and which dimensions you need and ill try my best to send you the dimensions i can. now i must tell you that there isn't alot of room in there but i have seen it done on other accords and its been all custom work and some people ended up bailing on it cause thay couldnt get a manifold.if you can do it i tell you now that this will open up a whole new thing for the 3rd generation accord. there arent many aftermarket parts available for this car. please help us! thanx"
then they come bace to me today with: "I would just need dimensions, so I know what piping to run on the intercooler, ect....The kits are going to sell around $3000+ Shipping, and will have better quality then any other kit on the market. Let me know. Thanks again"

some one let me know what to do. or if anyone is interested

[shepherd79]

first, your sig is too big, so i am taking out.
second, there aren't many turbo manifolds, so you may have to make custom.

[buds302]

that was messed up oh well ill find a smaller one, it was funny while it lasted. now about the manifold. man you live around here there aint no muffler shop or machine shop thats gonna do a custom manifold. their to busy building race cars and doin bs work to mess with it. if you find one that will do it then let me know.

[AccordEpicenter]

nope gotta get them custom made...

[johndej]

yeah, your going to have to do it yourself or have some kick ass connections

[AccordEpicenter]

what kind of turbo did you want to run?

[Bryan]

Get a custom one and be done with it. If you're gonna do the turbo set up the right way, be ready to drop some money into it.

1. No one makes aftermarket turbo manifolds for the A20 block

2. IF you need one, contact Sean (member on this forum) and tell him to make you one. U will have to run an internal wastegate mitsu/chrysl turbo and the manifold costs around $550 without shipping.

3. Even if you find a shop to make you one. U need to give them a used header from the junkyard cause we dont have a single piece exhaust manifold gasket so its not possible to make a header without an exact reference.

4. THIS IS IMPORTANT. No other turbo manifolds will fit this motor either directly or extra holes drilled. Nothing can be adapted to this block due to unique exhaust ports. If someone tells u that you can adapt a eclipse (DSM) header, well they are wrong. It works on the motors of accords from 90-97.

hope this clears up ur questions.

[AccordEpicenter]

hmmm... depending on the price of flanges a log turbo mani would would just fine

[A20A1]

If you don't want to use the A20 manifold, you can use the A20 manifold flange...

I used a cast iron flange to make my header... if you get the right materials you can weld up a strong log manifold using the A20 flange.
I used a hand grinder to cut thru the metal... it took forever... and one whole cutting/grinding disk.

[AccordEpicenter]

id advise against using the stock flange... its gonna be prone to cracking especially when put up to the heat and pressure/weight of a turbo being cast iron. Id just have a flange made...

[NXRacer]

if i had somebody in the area that could put up some money i know of a shop thats willing to do custom headers and turbo manifolds. i just dont have the funding to pay them for the work. I know they'd make a kickass manifold. I've talked with them and showed them seans design and how much he wants for it and they said that they could make a better one for cheaper.

now if i could just win the damn lottery. . . . ..

[buds302]

ok stupid ques what is a log manifold? is that where there are not 4 equal pipes, but one pipe and the turbo flange on one side, leading to uneven flow?

[Sean]

if your really serious and have the money to spend i can put you in touch with the people who used to build the kits for me. they still have all the tooling to make them

[buds302]

how much r u talkin and how good is it

[A20A1]

There really is not uneven flow as you may see it... but there are restrictions yes, or poor flow due to a sharp angle the exhaust will have to traverse.

If you want to see log styles versus longer tube style manifolds look at the header thread linked below:

edit: I updated the thread to lable which were tube and which were log type manifolds.

thanx man thats what i thought

Just how much did they say they could do it for?

[Accordtheory]

or you could go buy a mig welder, a plasma cutter, a drill press, a couple disc grinders, a cutoff saw, and some piping..

[Robs89LXi]

Yeah, but think of how much you could save on labor

[Elijah]

there is a shop here that said they cam make the same one as mine.But with externall waste gate option fot as little as $450 canadain

[Robs89LXi]

That's like around $375 US. Now that is more reasonable.

any pics of yours?

pretty cool. U need to keep in mind that due to the engine tilt forward, they cant really make their manifold too deep. As in hang low. This will cause problems with the turbo inlet and exhaust, more for the exhaust if the turbo is gonna be the other way around (inlet on driver side). $3000 huh? what kinda turbo is that? Bet its an internal wastegate turbo with a log style manifold or something.
