if your dad's friend does exhaust ask him to make you a log manifold. SHould be fairly easy then.
The cast manifold is alright, just make sure that it clears the engine parts, also make sure what flange you want or get, cos you can't weld to a cast iron manifold.
My friends dad** and to be honest i didnt think of that, ill ask him tomorrow about it. Although that would take alot more time and effort, although would be cheaper for me, and would most likely flow better? That JJR one looks abit tight at the collector.

Look in the parts forum and find yourself a cheap second hand manifold. If I had the time I would find it for you, but i dont.. :)

But then tuning + complience + rego
Will cost atleast 2200 wont it ?
600~ tuning
600~ rego
600~ engineers
most places up here charge 150$ for a mod plate in queensland.
mind u any mod plate put on a civic for a turbo is dodgey, u cannot LEGALLY turbo a civic due to it falls under the car catergory MA (check under ur hood if u dont believe me :)) MA is family car and bolt on turbo guidelines specificly say a bolt on turbo kit can not be fitted to this catergory. Most coppers dont no shit thought so alot of people get away with it if they have a dodgey plate.

I think i found a compination package on a site with Greddy Turbo kit Greddy Front mont for 3500ish ? Should look into that if you have a lil extra cash.
What would yous recommend in electronic boost controllers?
Apexi Digital AVC-R Boost Controller
Turbosmart e-Boost2
Are what im most interested in, what are your opinions?
dood if you really want a cheap setup that wont produce too much power like mine about 100kw atw (stock exhaust)
then just get the turbo essentials dont worry bout clutch and fuel pump or any of that stuff just yet, till u decide to upgrade, hell ive been running a vafc and sitc just fine, many people will advise you against it, but ill tell u the same thing i tell my mates turboing their civics, write down what u need in ur setup.. keep it minimal and dont go all out if u have a budget, but dont be put off too much by the "poshy" comments (like telling u to spend 4k+)
u can do this setup for 2000-2500 without labour if u do it urself...
dont get stuff u dont need
Its k, ive pretty much worked this out.
I can manage it with an electronic boost controller, and wondering what your opinions are
Apexi Digital AVC-R Boost Controller
Turbosmart e-Boost2
Or something else?
How much boost r you planning to run? if its low just run off the wastegate and save yourself some money. No need to go off and spending 400+ on a EBC for just 7psi.
Well i wanted a 2stage controller. At about 6psi, then 10 psi.
And it doesnt matter, please just answer the question lol.

You wouldnt believe how much im really paying for this setup.
& whats a better choice for me, if i hav a GT25 @ 6psi roughly, with 2" intercooler piping ( i should go 2" right? )
Cooling-Pro Universal Intercooler - Large Type
Tube & Fin - 600 x 300 x 76mm - 3 inch Outlets
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cooling-Pro Universal Intercooler - Large Type Price: $179
Bar & Plate - 600 x 300 x 76mm - 3 inch Outlets
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cooling-Pro Universal Intercooler - Large Type Price: $179
Bar & Plate - 600 x 300 x 76mm - 2.5 inch Outlets
Ive read about bar & plate and tube & fin, and read bar & plate has larger pressure drop, and thought maybe this intercooler is too large for me, and would great too much lag at 6psi ? And do inlet/outlet sizes make a difference? Some have 3" others 2.5".
Im going to assume tube & fin would be a better choice for me?
go 2.5" piping
i got myself a Turbosmart e-Boost2 - They cost around the $800 mark.
Apexi Digital AVC-R Boost Controller cost around the $500 mark.
You could just get a cheap manual boost controller which would be under $50

Have you used your e-boost2 or your setup not finished yet?
If so how is it, would you recommend it. And i dont like those manual boost controller, i want EBC!!!!
As for piping 2.5" and 3" will cost me the exact same, but im already getting them for cheap.
Would you still recommend 2.5" even if same price?
i've seen AVC-R boost controllers go for around $500 new on ebay.
I've heard the Turbosmart is supose to be one of the best, but haven't used mine yet.
GOt it as a pressie
For a small turbo setup, i'd use the 2.5", wouldn't really use 3" unless you goto 15PSI or more
