RE: exhaust manifold thickness

[superR]

what sort of manifold thickness would i be looking at it i wanted to run roughly 8psi in my ITR , cause i got a guy who wants to sell me one for $200 that is 2.2mm thick.... its been crack tested and its fine so should i buy it??

[GSI-PSI]

do u have a pik of it?

[superR]

no , but it looks very simular to q-balls manifold. except more crome blingish

[joyride]

200 bucks is cheap..

run, far, far away. no way.
superR. If u want a cheap exhaust manifold, serch honda-tech. plenty of manifolds going everyday for a simple setup.. look for a log, greddy, hks or bmc etc etc

erm runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. lol dont go 4 those 'fully sick' crap chrome manifolds cos theyre crapppppp. go for a thick cast style even if it doesnt look as appealing. AVO have one that ive got on my car and it has a heat shield as well 2 make it look a bit better and it obviously keeps the heat out 2.

thats alota oil round ur exhaust mani. u sure ur rings are ok :)

superR, there are SOOO many b-series manifolds going on honda-tech everyday. do urself and afavour and buy one. u could get a equal length for that money. 500+60USDship will buy u something NICE with wastegate. seriously dude. stop looking local if u want to save and get quality. u can package ur injectors at teh same time and order an oil line kit from stealthmode while ur at it.

looks nice weq.... info taken on bord, but it would be cheaper and easyer to get an exhaust place to do the same sorta thing dont ya think

[Weq]

get an exhaust place to use 304grade stainless steel, professional flange, welds like that and a merge collector like that they will want 1.5k atleast.
and i got a 38MM wastegate with it also! retail 400aud for the wastegate alone. i paid 400, fullstop.

its EASIER and LESS hassle to go custom, but from what ive seen, americans have done this a million times, and its CHEAPER and BETTER QUALITY getting stuff from there.

LOL well that was the old engine in the teg i wrote off. 93mod ya gotta expect some wear and tear. The new cars engine is alot cleaner as its a 98mod. I agree strongly with Weq. Search honda tech and other sources before you buy or get a custom made local. USA have meen turbocharging hondas for years and only recently it has been avaliable to the Australian market. US have gone thru the trial and error process many more times to come up with a manifold to suit your needs.
