Civic EG

hi guys,

when i got my civic it had a turbo manifold on it but no turbo, the guy reckoned he had trouble fitting the turbo because was hitting on stuff. i cant see it working unless the radiator was smaller im guessing the prelude that motor came out of prob has more room in the front of the manifold to fit the turbo but no room for dump pipe with this manifold

only solution i can see is cut the flange off and rotate the turbo like in the pic



has anyone else used this manifold? im even thinking of getting a different one

like this maybe

or this one but not sure if it works with the alternator in the stock position?

I'd stay away from the cheap stainless manifolds, they're gonna crack. And I've always thought those PLM's were kinda sloppy.

Here's a pretty nice one.. http://www.treadstoneperformance.com/product.phtml?p=12636&cat_key=2496&prodname=DOC+Race+Bottom+Mount+Manifold+-+H22+Manifold+T3%2FT4+%2892-99+Honda+Civic+H+Series+engine%29


Or the cheaper route.. http://www.go-autoworks-store.com/gocairhsetum.html

yeah all stainless manifolds crack eventually, it just came with the car so i would like to try and use it to save on costs, ill prob cut it up and see how it looks

or was looking at these

ended up modding the manifold not real pretty but will do the job

clearance for the dump and intake now:)
