Aloha,

*UPDATE*

So the things didn't go accordingly and the guy had to refund my money. But.. I'm still boosting my D16Y7.

So bought these cool items from HMT guy.

Yep, it's just a probe turbo, not worth more then $100. I cant belive the kid on ebay is claiming to pay $300 for that and a old DSM mani. The turbo is worth about 75 bucks and manifold $15.

Will do :P

ihi rhb5 eh? cool. I dont know what manifold it is. but supposedly direct fit to the d-series and bolton to the turbo with an adaptor plate.. it doesn't look like the STD, or HF though. it's has a flange for an external wastegate.. what do you think it's from? I'll just ask the seller again.

thanks again SinisterCRX

ihi rhb5 is good and reliable to boost my d16y7 for like 7~11 lbs max. right? cuz that's what I'm going for. I want to chip my ecu and go hondata so I can dyno and tune it well. check valves and FMU is not required for this route am I correct? I'm trying to do as much reading so I'm prepared by the time I gather all the required parts together. So ANY advice or help will be much appreciated.

aloha,

Terry

$52 loss on my first turbo and manifold. I dont think it's that bad.. thanks for your input though. I'll make sure to ask around now before purchasing things. living in hawaii, the costs are crazy!!

No problem Terry. Take some pictures of the manifold when you get it, with the external flange.. i really have no clue lol if it was internal i'd say DSM, maybe someone modified one? i dont know...

7-11 pounds is fine. If you're doing this ghetto of a setup, you might as well go with Uberdata w/ a chipped p06 and get an obdII-->obdI conversion harness for the ECU. You do not need check valves or FMU with a chipped ECU, no.

If that's a DSM manifold it would fit on an f22, so if it doesn't fit hit me up ill buy it from ya but only for like $25 shipped lol
