Im gonna be boosting my B16 in my CRX in a few weeks. I was kinda look at some clearance thing today and it looks like its gonna be a real bitch to get my external wastegate to fit in there. Im using hasport mounts and a 92-95 civic radiator...

PLEASE POST PICS OF YOUR SETUP SO I CAN GET SOME NEW IDEAS OF HOW TO MOUNT MY WG TO THE MANIFOLD!!!!

Thanks!

 

well what kind of manifold are you using that you dont think the wastegate will fit?

 

It's a pita to find a good manifold for a B in an EF chassis. I wanted an equal lenght but most of them will not fit. I decided to make one for my own.
Here is what most equal lenght look in an EF chassic with a B.

Here is what I'm making for a member on here

There's even enough space for an EX wg now

 

^ nice manifold, want to make me one?

 

nice manifold man, but I see one problem (it may just look lik eit in the pics), but it doesnt look like you can get to teh top holes in teh flange.

The manifold I am using is a home made short tubular style. I can show you some pictures of it so far if you like. I will be test fitting it in about a week or so.

 

where are you going to put the wastegate,

 

here u go, 99 si radiator, full race traction bars, revhard mani, turbosmart wastegate.

 

Slowpoke: would it be too much to ask of you to take a measurement from teh bottom of the WG flange to teh top of your WG? When I put mine on top in that position it looked like I would have hood clearance issues. Also, how low is your radiator? Did you cut the lower rad support out? Mine sticks up a hella lot. The only way I see mine fitting under the hood is to cut like 2" of the lower rad support back so the rad can dangle down....kinda unsafe...dont really want to do that...

 

turbosmart wastegates are not near as tall as a tial wg, what brand do you have?

my radiator is ziptied to my fullrace x member, it was too tall when i used the mounts on the bar so its hanging flush with the xmember.

 

The wg goes right in front.
