Who is currently in the market for an accord turbo manifold?

[Accordtheory]

the fitment is great, but building a dp for it will be tricky at best.

in light of this I feel that a top mount manifold is the best solution. i have no ps or AC

Well, that would work for your requirements, but the typical top mount interferes with the p/s by placing the turbo compressor right where the pump normally sits. A lot of people on here have said they want to keep their p/s, so I would prefer to come up with a design that could accomodate that. That's actually why I posted up my old pic. Instead of the downpipe curving down from the driver's side, my old setup curved down the other way. I had a/c and p/s with that setup.

I found a pic of this manifold on here, it's sort of similar to my old one. Not equal length, but whatever.

[MessyHonda]

yup...i need to get some serious power now....my car needs more power....any way to make the guayanabo manifold?

[Accordtheory]

That's basically the idea that I'm going for, except more equal length. But like I said, not for $300.

yeah i would pay like 600 for that manifold..im already obd1 so im halfway there

[Accordtheory]

well, that is certainly a contrast to your previous posts..
But anyway, one of these will be coming up. I already have most of the parts for it, and I just ordered the flange from weirtech. So in about a week and a half.

well, you said $300 earlier..

yes yes i did say 300 for a run of the mill manifold...i ment like a log one..not a whole lot of engenering just something that would clear the rad and front mount

So what are you going to do about that horrible california smog testing bs? I'm guessing you know someone?

yes i just got my registration paper yesterday...its right next to me...and i need damn smog...im screwed no mater what.

[Accordtheory]

Well, as they say, money talks. I got caught for expired registration due to my inability to pass smog, $880. I should have tried harder, I didn't realize how much of a pain that ordeal would become. You're in the sf bay area? I was in Woodland, near Sac, when I got caught. You should be able to get it done for about $300 in cash, from what I always heard. It's supposedly getting tougher though, they do random sting ops to see if they can get shops to do illegal shit. I'd almost recommend walking in smoking a fat blunt cheech & chong style so they know you're not 5.0. Or at least blaze out the parking lot right in front of them..

thanks man...the guy said he might fail me the first time cuz they need to fail a certain % of cars....i got long hair...and ima look like a grease monkey....they should not be worried...ima check them out after i get paid.

[hondaman1986]

hey boba where did you buy you half rad and how much did that set you back cause im trying to find one for my turbo project

[Accordtheory]

not sure about bobafett, his might be nicer than mine, but I just got my civic radiator on egay..$70, aluminum core a little thicker than stock, not bad. No overheating, I used to beat on my old turbo setup pretty hard, in the hot california summer. Alot of stuff like that on ebay is total garbage though, like the a/c condenser for my truck, so consider yourself forewarned..

[Accordtheory]

A little comparison between guaynabo's and mine..

[BITESIZE]

Is that painted or ceramic?

[Accordtheory]

Guess I should have cleaned the rest of the duct tape off first..left over from backpurging

this is the part i bought. just a 2" aluminum ebay rad. cost $90 shipped wasn't a 'bolt in' but close enough considering all the other shit i have done to the car.

if you have ditched the ac, piece of cake to move something like that to the old ac brackets. if you can put an alternator there,you can put a PS pump there. mine is in the stock location, but i cut the steel ends off of the rubber hose, and changed them to steel an fittings. they are tig welded right on to the metal parts that attach to the pump. once you do this,and tig weld a fitting on the metal tube at the opposite end, you use aeroquip PS hose and steel high pressure fittings. this allows you to also route the hose anywhere you want. the aeroquip PS hose is also much safer then the old factory hose,and more heat resistant.
