i can't believe that appeared on HT before i saw it here....i don't think that manifold would flow as well as a true top mount, but better than a log and for a fraction of the price!!

Static flow, no it won't. Dynamic flow, hrmmmm?

Notice how they cylinders are paired. Got divided turbine turbo?

I looked into doing this on my 3rd generation Accord, but sadly it wouldn't fit.

That thing is in the way. I would either have to cut it up, and rebuilt it (probably not worth it), or go all the way under it and bring the pipe back up in front of it.

Either way I would probably need to swap to a civic radiator (and almost definately remove my AC), and if I am doing that I might as well use a log manifold. A log manifold might even end up being cheaper in this situation due to using less pipe.

Edit: Accordepicenter, did you notice this problem on your Accord too?

I always drop the front crossmember when doing clutches or engine swaps on Accords. It's just plain easier that way.
