Lol, no worries, mistakes happen. Do you mean pics of the manifold or just the parts I have? I still dont have either manifold, I wont be buying those until Im ready to have the port work done on my head (Ill be sending all 3 pieces to be port matched).

Luis998 · 07-09-2008, 03:54 PM

Ah, that works. Yes, I was talking about the manifolds. I'm somewhat lost on where I should get my exhaust manifold at.

newb · 07-09-2008, 03:59 PM

Just not ebay lol. My only criteria right now is that the manifold be uncoated stainless, equal length, and have the turbo flange that matches my turbo so I dont hafta run an adapter. As my build comes togather more my requirments will get narrowed down lol. As for brands or places to get em, the ones heard the most about are Peak Boost, Spoolin, and Rev Hard. Im sure Im forgettin one or two brands tho.

Do you have an idea on the turbo yet?

Luis998 · 07-09-2008, 04:00 PM

Have you found any online? I'll fax you some rep for a link or links to a site.

If you hook me up with more than two links, I'll get you a Snicker's bar.

Luis998 · 07-09-2008, 04:01 PM

I have to get ready for work now but will be there within the hour. I'll catch you guys then.

I'm going to bed in about 45min. Night.

Yes sir, prally a T04 that I already own, unless I can find a Holset HY35. The specs on my T04 are 42 trim compressor wheel with a 0.69 A/R hot side. The exact model is T0457, and as far as I can tell its an industrial application. Ive been searchin for specs on it for months, and all Ive found was a dead thread on another forum, and it was asking for specs also lol.

Which engine? And how much have you modded it? (Besides planning on portmatching.)

If you're using a d16, that turbo looks to be a pretty good match. Just outside of 76% efficency@8psi@redline for the compressor. That turbo looks a little big though. What's your HP target.

Lol, let me see what I can dig up.

Honda/Acura - Spoolin Performance
www.revhard.com

For the life of me I cant find the Peak boost site

newb · 07-09-2008, 04:20 PM

Ill be running an LS/VTEC, sleeved with an 84mm bore and 9.0:1 compression, GSR cams, Buddy club dual valve springs and Ti retainers, the minor port work, and so on and so forth. My goal is mid 400's, and a local turbo shop told me that the turbo I have should be good for a lil over 500 horse (tho their answer was rushed, so I dont hold much faith in it). Ill either hit my goal or max this turbo out trying, then get myself a new one that will get me there for sure.

Luis998 · 07-09-2008, 05:16 PM

Ooooooo, I found a pretty one, though the Spoolin performance site didn't work.

Race Specialists: TURBO MANIFOLDS

newb · 07-09-2008, 05:19 PM

Mmmm, those prices look pretty good

Hmm, thats weird. If you go to spoolinperformance.com its easy to navigate.

Luis998 · 07-09-2008, 05:22 PM

I'll try that out. Perhaps it was just the link that was bad...or user error.

They do look good, don't they?

Race Specialists is one of the distributors for RevHard. RevHard doesn't list their prices on their site...BASTARDS!

Luis998 · 07-09-2008, 05:23 PM

What do you think about Spoolin's piping kit? I'm wondering if such a kit would be worth it, rather than having custom piping made.

newb · 07-09-2008, 05:33 PM

That kit does look good, but Ive always been told that the best value for IC piping is Ebay parts, believe it or not. It makes sence tho, paying for a CNC mandrel bent piece of tube wont net you anymore power than hand drawn piece. The only thing Id worry about would be rather or not the piping has beads rolled in it at the couplings.

Luis998 · 07-09-2008, 05:37 PM

Really?!?!? WOW! That's a first. I wonder how good their fitment is? Have you ever heard about them?

I'm off to shop on eBay now.
