You say its ironcast so yeah, I would say thats normal. If you really want to keep that ugly orange off of it, clean it real good. When I say clean it reall good I mean solvents and a wire brush and then paint it. They make manifold paint that can withstad the heat of exhaust, for a while. Or just try to keep in a nice dry place

the prelude may fit. I wouldn't expect a direct bolt on fit in any case since every turbo set up is different. Try to imagine how the turbo is going to sit once bolted to the manifold. That should help you decide what you will need in the way of the downpipe. If the flange locations match on the prelude one, than it might be a safe buy. I would still be ready to make minor mods to it. Do you have a friend who can weld?
