a20 turbo manifold build pics..for sale when done

[Accordtheory]

It actually comes out to like $18.5. maybe I should raise the price..

[Accordtheory]

Should I put this on egay, or what?

[mkymonkey]

lol i have a feeling you knew this was going to happen

[MessyHonda]

let the war begin

[Accordtheory]

here's what I'm currently thinking about doing. If I can find a 3g in a junkyard anywhere local, I'll take the manifold and my huge ass holset turbo and see what it takes to make it fit, and snap some pics of it.
It might be a little difficult to find a 3g though, stupid south dakota. Everyone drives domestic vehicles out here.

[Accordtheory]

it looks there are no 3g accords in junk yards within 100 miles of me in any direction. Fuck south dakota.

how much cost me to make the flange only

[Accordtheory]

The head flange is from weirtech. It's $20+ shipping, for me it came out to $42. I don't know if he has any more though. I don't know his contact info off the top of my head either, I IMd him on honda-tech. You'll be able to find him in about 10 seconds with a search though.
But I don't even know why I just gave you this info, we both know you're not going to build anything anyway.

I don't think the wife would let me spend our tax return on this. She would kill me or kick me in the nuts!! Yikes, she would be furious.

a kick in the nutz might be worth it

Should I put this on egay, or what?

If it were me, I would. Just think about how many people will see it. Honestly, since it's your first try, I would lower your price.

[bobafett]

hey hey we might want to talk about this manifold man. i may be inclined to take it off your hands.

or for the price would you want to build me a different one that doesn't matter if it clears things (i have civic rad, no PS, no AC. ) A nice topmount does seem sweet!

EDIT.

actually after looking at it more, i definitely don't want this one, but might be inclined to have you build me something more suited for my setup. if you have aim or msn add me and we can discuss it further.

I thought everyone already knew about bmc..maybe I'll post up a few links to threads where everyone posting hates bmc, jg-fab, whatever, and will never do business with them again. I know I certainly wouldn't buy from a guy who could leave you hanging for months, or worse..

If it were me, I would. Just think about how many people will see it. Honestly, since it's your first try, I would lower your price.

I can't sell it on egay unless I have installed pics. I'm just about out of options as far as that goes, too. But without them, people just won't bid, or else I'll make $2/hr. Shit, on ebay, that place is so fucked up for sellers, I might Still make $2/hr.
And, my mind is made up, I'm not making less than $20/hr on this. If it doesn't sell, I don't care, it doesn't sell then. Oh well. Hold this thing in your hands and tell me it isn't worth $600+. (Assuming it fits what they have, of course. Buyer can't make it work, money back.) My last manifold I got all stressed about, and I kept dropping the price, until it sold for $250 + shipping, netting me $9/hr. Never again will I do that to myself. The dude who bought it was enthusiastic, happy, couldn't believe he got it for such a good deal. But he would have also been happy to have paid way more. He was actually looking at the manifold I compared it to, the lovefab one for $500 or whatever, and then saw mine for sale. He was happy with the 44mm gate, he was happy with the overall design. Compare that to the multiple assholes who kept trying to get me to knock the price down, talking shit, criticizing me and the product, trying to pay ssautochrome/xspower prices. Moral of the story is, disregard the assholes, wait for the right person, they'll eventually show up, and you'll get what you deserve.
Whatever. I don't even know what to do with it right now. So it's just going to chill until I do.

[bobafett]

yeah its a beautiful manifold, and looks very well crafted. all things considered I do not the price is unfair. yes its more than most people (on this forum) want to or would be able to afford. but hell, its a good deal and you are not paying a dime for R&D. so unless you diy thats a good price.

[Accordtheory]

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

[Soopitup]

very nice! Maybe if its still up for grabs in a few months

[Accordtheory]

If anyone is interested, let me know. This is one of the nicest manifolds that has ever been made for a 3g..
