over the winter I plan on piecing together a turbo kit for my b20. and I was wondering if ones like the cheap ebay ones would actualy fit an EF hatch. I don't plan on going the rout but I just didn't know how common they were or if I would have to get one custom made.

thanks

it really depends on your manifold position and the actual turbo you end up using... then, you gotta clear the car/subframe/motor from there.

so, odds are, you're going to have to go custom.

yeah I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. I planned on running a cast log mani, and I think it's a 14b (something pretty small around that size) I don't know if that helps at all, but I guess I'll just have to find out when I get the stuff.

yea you will have to do the downpipe after the setup is complete..will most likely have to be custom..but i know a guy from bristol that makes them

you might get an e-bay one then modify it to fit. you can get lucky and get a fairly good on on ebay. i got one from there but i sent it back and never used it. i needed a totoal custom job!

sorry for the huge pic! how do i resize it?

Bobby17772 · 11-04-2009, 10:21 AM

wow, thats crazy! how much did something like that run you or did you do it yourself?

DESPAIN · 11-04-2009, 02:52 PM

it was about 450-500 bucks...... took about 8 hours to build

Bobby17772 · 11-04-2009, 07:03 PM

oh I believe it, thats really elaborate

DESPAIN · 11-05-2009, 10:41 AM

yeah it kinda sucks....lol but with my ramhorn mani.... that was the only option. it goes from 2" to 3" all stainless steel.....

Bobby17772 · 11-06-2009, 12:59 AM

oh how do you like the ramhorn? I was thinking about getting one...well either the cast iron log mani or a ramhorn

B · 11-06-2009, 02:49 AM

theres really no point in running a ram horn on a 14b or anything of that tiny size. spool is already not an issue, and those manis are 4x the cost of a log.

very true..... ram horn is for making serious power.......if i just ran 10psi on my set up i would have stayed with a log mani. unless you really want to go all out than log is fine.

oh ok, thanks to both of you guys!
