Turbo bought - 3/16/2006 10:56:15 PM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline Welp, I have my t3/04e turbo sitting in my room. I am really hoping to find the "perfect" turbo manifold for a good price, but i dont know how long that will take. Trying to find one small enough that i wont have to remove the a/c. Hope I wont pass the $600 mark for the turbo manifold and 5 bolt downpipe. Post #: 1

If you go over a 2.5" d-pipe, you may have to get rid of it. Oh well, less weight and rotating mass, right? (in reply to lightshow) Post #: 3

RE: Turbo bought - 3/17/2006 12:52:01 PM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline Ive actually seen one that is a little shorter then the one mbo has it also has the flange out towards the front of the car. I am hoping to find one of those. But my problem is one of the hoses for the a/c goes across the fans, and in theory i should be able to get a 3 inch pipe if the manifold has the flange off set to the left of center (in reply to lightshow) Post #: 4

RE: Turbo bought - 3/18/2006 6:20:08 PM    lightshow Posts: 1775 Joined: 1/6/2006 Status: offline your manifold should seriously cost about 200-250 dollars and you should have no prob keeping the a/c. keep looking. (in reply to marbro) Post #: 7

RE: Turbo bought - 3/18/2006 8:11:08 PM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline its an f23 engine, from what ive seen a lot of the f22 manifolds line up with the bolt pattern on my engine. And f22parts have 2 different turbo manifolds, both of which were the design i was considering, but the cast iron one which has better flow is 500 http://www.f22parts.com/item_castturbomanifold.htm and the stainless steel one is 400 http://www.f22parts.com/item_turbomanifold.htm and if you look at it, it doesnt scream design efficiency. < Message edited by marbro -- 3/18/2006 8:17:16 PM > (in reply to flomasta) Post #: 9

RE: Turbo bought - 3/28/2006 11:55:27 PM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline YAY well for those going with a custom kit and want a cast iron turbo manifold, www.importparts.com Instead of doing the 500 dollar generic turbo manifold im getting the one specifically for my engine. and its 355 ^_^ Next is the turbosmart bov and wastegate..... going to be hunting for the ideal piping tho, unless i just want to shell out 450 just for the piping (in reply to marbro) Post #: 11

RE: Turbo bought - 3/29/2006 5:46:25 PM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline I was amazed to find that they offered the kit manifolds seperately. AND I am very very happy that i found it cause now i dont have to screw with any pesky a/c components. lol (in reply to mbo1985) Post #: 13

RE: Turbo bought - 3/29/2006 11:49:00 PM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline thats.... odd..... I wouldnt think the kit would have that issue..... like... the pipe itself was too long going to the ground.... But im thinking the easiest down pipe i can get is one that was intended for a civic.... I just need to have it setup in the turbo setting where it will be to see how close of a fit it will be......
