What Do You Guys Think About This Manifold?
 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33742

Doing this for my gf. Going custom because I have a greddy kit and I told her that she is better off going custom. This is one of the very few manifolds that keep a/c. Here in hawaii we need it so she won't settle for a hf or std manifold. Your opinions please.

Yes, custom kit is the best way to go, you will say to yourself "why did I buy this overpriced greddy" after your g/f's car beats yours.

Research that manifold, find out what you can find on it.

What car is this going on? It is possible to use a del sol a/c bracket to relocate for use of the condensor.. there was a recent post done in the hybrid forum on it, also H-T. Look into it

I think I want your girlfriend.

Manifold looks like an ordinary manifold to me... maybe you can get a nice custom manifold from BmC in the classifieds. Heard good stories about those.

lol....i would get a bmc manifold for the price, but i heard that they don't clear the a/c. The one i sent the url said it clears the a/c. The thing is that it comes with a 1 year warranty. Kinda gets me paranoid that after 1 year that sucker would crack. But neway, thanks for all the info.

This is going on a 99 Civic EX btw.

What would you choose a t25 from a mitsu or a T3 with an a/r of .42/.48? She probably won't be going past 8 psi since for fuel management she'll be using my greddy blue box because i'm running the hack.

that's what i don't get. From the pics it looks like there's a standard t3 flange on it. All I would need would be a t3 turbo and the t3 flange and some bolts right?
