Exhaust I made for a friends turbo civic.
 

Pics.. weee..

This was a neat project for me, I love tig welding.

The problem was that the stainless material he got with the "kit" was .045 wall, which is very thin. I had a lot of trouble starting a puddle without burning through, and without any foot or thumb control I had to have another buddy turn the machine up and down when I yelled at them. LOL...

He also wanted to retain A/C so there are some nice tight bends. We used the pie cut formulas from this forum. Not too many intricate segmented cuts though.

I wish it was .065 wall tubing or something other than the cheap ---- he got, but whateva. It is a Vecco turbo kit. Miller TIG machine, 115v. Arc start :(. Boo, I want a new 3000$ machine.

I will get pics off the car, as we are not done yet. He's still waiting on a D16 intake manifold, and injectors before he can run any boost. Anyone have a D16 intake manifold that the TB is on the pass side of the engine. I know nothing of hondas..

Re: Exhaust I made for a friends turbo civic.
 

Yes, he has a Y7, and his TB is smack dab in the middle behind the motor, so the IC pipes do not meet up.

Re: Exhaust I made for a friends turbo civic.
 

oh, i forgot. any manifold worth having has the TB onthe passenger side. lol

you can run a curved coupler off the t.b. see https://www.homemadeturbo.com/turbo_.../t25_ek_hatch/ if you dont wanna swap mani's

Re: Exhaust I made for a friends turbo civic.
 

Does anyone know if the Z6 manifold will fit the Y7 head? It is a 98 Civic 1.6L D16Y7 (or V7) I forgot.
