Turbo Manifold
I am looking for a turbo-manifold for my b18b(95' LS integra) and i dont want to go with ssautoshit because i have heard way too many bad things about him. i need a manifold that is AC compatibal.
That was my next question - i have a td04 from a 1g eclipse and i know i can buy adapters that will fit that turbo, but i am worried about clearance from my AC. i dont want to remove it, and i have done some measuring, but i cant really guestimate and then be wrong.
anyone know where to get a nice manifold A/C compatible? I am a little iffy on bmcracing. anyone know anywhere else i can buy a turbo manifold for a b18b? thanks

Re:Turbo Manifold
that turbo might be a little bit small for a ls. i would get something bigger with a t3 flange. dont doubt bmc racing. i have his d series manifold and its a work of art. plus he does make a ac compatable b series manifold. and for his price it wont be beat.

In reality, if you can't afford a $300 manifold, should you really be trying to boost your car?

i seen a post on here a few weeks back with a link to a site that sold manifold kits for about $150 but you had to weld them yourself. not bad if you know somebody who welds and you could put the flange wherever you wanted it.

Re:Turbo Manifold
you get what you pay for with manifolds and if you want to be as cheap as ---- then you'll be posting 'why doesnt my turbo boost past 5 psi when i dont even hook up the wastegate' shortly after you get the setup done

Re:Turbo Manifold
manifolds are like THE most important part other then the turbo its self... i woulnd't wanna be driving around trying to make power out of a manifold that i can't even rely on... buy something good so u wont have to worry about it and jus stick to the minor things... like he said.. u get what u pay for... buy something cheap like ssauto and you'll be back to stock in no time tryin to find a new manifold.
