stock manifold for turbo?

[aStRooo]

would anyone have any concerns with such a set up



adaptor plate



turbo is a TDO4L from 02 wrx monted to a standard pre-cat civic manifold (d-series)

this guy (from the states) gets 203whp @ 12psi, im thinking this cant be a reliable setup as manifold will eventually crack? any opinions?

it's a very common set up out here... especially when used with a dsm T25 or 14b... the manifolds hold up fine, but they are very restricted flow wise. The manifolds are designed for use on little 50whp engines, so they aren't really meant to flow enough for 4 times the power.

Basically, they work fine, they last fine, but it's a major bottleneck in the system

how odd.

thats very common.. i see it all the time.. in the states though.

if u have a gen2 rex. u can use the stock HF manifold from a sohc engine and bolt a turbo straight to that.

ghetto home style turbo setups

not just the gen 2 rexs... it works for basically any d series... I've seen 'em on gen 3 crxs, gen 2s, gen 1s, 88-00 civics, etc

Dont waste ya time and money. You dont understand how restrictive that setup is.

but when ur pov ur pov =( haha, it always gives time to upgrade later i guess? will this work for b-series manifolds?

nope, the manifold isn't interchangable with the b's

cheap setup. good bang for buck!

[aStRooo]

no, i mean can you do this with a b-series mani? im assuming u can though. how much does it cost to get an adaptor plate fabricated?

that is so my style!!!! cheapo myer homebrand : P

buti think it's just a bandaid solution, bad flow if goin to do it do it properly in the first place... IMHO
