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 ) -Dustin |
Re:OBX D16 manifold turbo placement
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 dont think the OBX and SSAC are the same, they look like they have a different design anyway.

Re:OBX D16 manifold turbo placement
i have had a 4-2-1 header from both companies, and while the design is similar, the quality of materials & construction was nowhere near the same. I don't think they are the same manufacturer, or if they are, the OBX was spec'd way better.

Re:OBX D16 manifold turbo placement
i think obx usually just tags their name on overseas manufactured parts and sells them here.
i run an obx stainless muffler, no problems with that, heh. |

they arent the same, but they are the same quality, I used both, the obx cracked after a month, the ssac I decided not to use after seeing all the negative ---- on them, so I bought a blox. I will have a brand new ssac mani for sale in 2 months. |
Re:OBX D16 manifold turbo placement
Hell I'd rock an OBX mani cause I'm cheap like that but SSauto. Naw that's like a ricers dream manifold. Ooooh shiny! Plus when I get the cash I'm getting me one of them OBX LSD's! ---- 800 on a Quaife. After seeing that ssauto turbo compressor housing split inhalf I won't touch anything of theirs with my 10' pole :P
