my situation is that I want boost, but it won't be on the d-series for long.. soon it will be on my b-series. so I want a manifold that won't be hard to make (or have made), won't blow up, and won't be expensive.

then again, I'm having second thoughts because I'd have to replace the clutch, which means replacing the tranny because of my bastard 88 civic. anyway. how do you figure I could make one for 35-40$?

Re:external wastegate on an HF manifold

yep if you weld anything onto the cast, the hea expansion is different, so itll just crack and fall off

get a log

Re:external wastegate on an HF manifold

ive welded cast to steel many times with no problems...with a 110v lincoln welder. Both of the manifolds ive used had cast flanges welded to them, since i was too cheap to go out and buy them, so i cut them off stock manifolds.

Re:external wastegate on an HF manifold

same here, i have welded steal to cast many times, never ever had a problem with it cracking or anything

for example

the o2 housing off of my saab t3 was cast, i welded steal onto that (the rest of my exhaust) and bottomed it out hard core many time and it just flattened the downpipe, didint crack the welds.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE DO NOT BUY THAT MANIFOLD OR ANY OTHER PART FROM THAT SELLER!!! READ HIS FEEDBACK!!!

I feel like emailing those people that got suckered into leaving positive feedback for him and telling them how to leave "follow-up feedback". They can give a follow -up report on how shitty the manifold is. I can't believe that guy is still selling bags of ---- on egay.
