14b how much to fab DP if i have the o2housing?
 

How much would it be to fabricate a downpipe if i bring the shop my car with manfold and 14b attached? ill bring the stock o2 housing , so all they have to do is make a pipe from the o2 housing to the exhaust. also, does the dsm o2 housing clear the ac condenser ?

Re: 14b how much to fab DP if i have the o2housing?
 

It's just a standard 2 bolt exhaust flange off the 02 housing. Any exhaust shop should be able to do it very easily with what they have there. Don't forget ur wideband sensor bung while you're there. Even if you don't have a wb set-up they can just stick a plug in it and then you can install the wb sensor when you get it. IDK about the condenser, but ---- the AC if you need to. Boost is by far more important hahahaha.

how much would you think it'll cost? is it ok to run the o2 sensor right after the turbo like that?

Re: 14b how much to fab DP if i have the o2housing?
 

depends on the shop but on a average depends on the size of the piping i would say anywhere from 120-170

Re: 14b how much to fab DP if i have the o2housing?
 

I'd say $300 for a full exhaust which you may as well do if you don't have one and you're there. Way less for just a downpipe. Yeah just run your narrowband sensor in the stock location and have them weld in a wideband bung about 36" back. I do my wideband bungs on the downpipe right between the firewall and the engine.

ok sweet. my 14b has a crack in the exhaust housing starting from the flange, but you cant see it from the outside. should i still proceed with this build?

I would definatly replace that turbo, stat

Run it. What's the worst that could happen? You don't make as much boost as with a fully intact housing? Big woopie. Just do it, we all do.

what do you guys thing? this is the exhaust housing and the cracks are on the o2housing side.

Looks like a used 14b.Torgan is right lol. If you have the $ get a 7cm housing off a 16g and be done. They don't crack as often as the 6cm. From what I gather it was a casting flaw in the 6cm housings.

i havea 7cm housing off a 16g pm if your interested in it, paypal verified

Re: 14b how much to fab DP if i have the o2housing?
 

How much for 7cm? I just bought a 16g but the guy needed to keep the hotside for his new turbo. Trade for super chron that's so crystally it looks like a tarantula?

Just wondering if you're running the famous hf/adaptor/14b setup... if you do, your o2 housing will be sitting towards the tranny and not in the way of the ac condensor, but I'm not sure if the compressor side will interfere with it since my car has no ac anyway... but now considering you have an 88 civic, maybe the front mount may be an issues?? I'm not sure, I have an EG with that setup!

im running the famous 14b/hf adapter / hf mani. The bend is kinda tough though, its almost 90*. since my inlet faces the driver fender it clased with the AC compressor. I also removed my windshield washer tank so i can place my air filer there, a little to close to the ground for my liking, but it works!

Peehem Meh!

Re: 14b how much to fab DP if i have the o2housing?
 

In my opinion, from the picture, it doesn't look good at all. Is it cracked on the outside? More pictures?

Some may argue just to weld it using a MIG, which can be done, but not recommended.

Some may say, slap some of that ol' J-B weld on there. :o

I'd say to find another one, if at all possible, or just use that as a template for now so that you can fabricate your down pipe with that. and then search for another one at junkyards, egay or the WTB in this forum.

Your choice. 8)

ive had 3 of those hotsides....all of them had some sort of crack. Never fixed them, car didnt run bad. If is cracked all the way to the outside then it will generate a leak. Just run it anyways, 14b's are starter turbos, if they burn or crack just pick another one up.....ive got 2 for free and one i payed $40.
