OBX D16 manifold turbo placement
 

Just wondering, is the turbo placed with the compressor to the driver or passenger side?

please spare the horror stories I have read enough of them, I'm just wondering. I had a SSAC manifold, and it put it to the passenger side, that won't work for me. (I sold it at a profit on ebay ;D )

You can place it anywhere, but I believe they were designed to have the compressor on the passenger side, which sucks IMO. The stock radiator will clear in a Crx/EF chassis like that, but the charge pipe is a pain in the ass, along with the downpipe. I'd rather rock the compressor on the driver side.

i believe the ssautoshit/obx mani will place your turbo on the street in about 200 miles

i had my old z6 motor witha ssac holding my t3t4 no braces or nothing, lasted me 1000 miles or so til my motor blew apart.

I dont think the OBX and SSAC are the same, they look like they have a different design anyway.

They aren't the same, but I'd be a little leary about using anything that even resembled that pile of ---- SSauto.

Different designs, same company/ies. They act as two seperate companies but are one in the same, much like an entity. I was dooped into a turbo from them(which oddly enough is still runnin on a friends car :-X 3k later)but the horror stories I have heard/seen of their manifolds is just ungodly. Although there have been several 240 owners that swear by the OBX short Shifter, and the OBX sr20 manifold. I still cant think of myself spending the money on one of their manifolds unless I knew how to weld them back together when they broke/began to leak. Just my .05 on the subject.
