Default Can I use an eclipse manifold on my civic?

got a d15b7 civic,
can I use an eclipse turbo mani on my car?
I ask cuz I plan on getting a 14b turbo,
so if I got this mani, then the turbo would bolt right up.

I looked at pics of civic and eclipse manis,
and they're very similar, 4 tubes, 5 bolts on bottom, 4 on top.

I'm guessing the chances of this stuff lining up correctly are slim to nil.
but I thought i'd ask anyways.

thanks.

An easy way to find out would be to go to your local parts store and ask to see an exhaust manifold gasket for both cars, see if the holes line up.

I dont think so. The Eclips manifold will bolt up to the Saturn 1.9L motor, it uses five of the nine mounting bolts and you cant run A/C, its very crapy looking but it works, however the Saturn manifold and the Honda manifold are very different, I happen to have both of them on the work bench at the same time today.

Not even close for a D or B series, supposivly its close on some F-series heads though.

hack the flange off from it and order a d series flange from neonrt, then weld that bitch on there. Its not good to weld cast but it can be done... then again you could just use a hf mani with diff adaptor plate
