hf mani for california only?
 

last weekend i was in the seattle bellevue area hangin out for the seahawks game. i figured since i was in town id take a trip over to the cascade auto wrecking area looking for an hf, or std manifold. when i asked them for one, they brought out a totally differant manifold that wasnt even close. so i showed them a pic on my phone what it looked like. they told me since it has a precat it was a california only model and had to me special orderd for 150 bones.
so my question is if this is true that the hf was a california only manifold? hf manis seem to be rare in the tri cities wash area. but i guess theyre rare in seattle as well.

Hf's were released all over the US :3 do you have a pic of the manifold he showed you?

Re: hf mani for california only?
 

thats bullshit for sure.

they were riding you.

i had a local yard tell me a std model ef hatch didnt exist

bone yards are full of fucktards.

Re: hf mani for california only?
 

No.They were a super mileage edition as they were sold in Canada as well as the STD and we have super lax emissions laws.

Re: hf mani for california only?
 

yea man :y

Re: hf mani for california only?
 

ill sell you mine for 50 shipped 8)

Re: hf mani for california only?
 

i dont have a pic, but it looked very close to the oem mani that i have on my z6, kinda long. but yea i was kinda pissed that i wasted my time after they told me on the phone that they had one in stock. next time im in seattle ill have to do more hunting.

i bet it was a 1991 std mani

Re: hf mani for california only?

thats what my 91 civic std manifold looked like. if you asked for an std manifold that is one. just not the one you wanted.

Re: hf mani for california only?
 

std is the one in the middle with the #3 on the first runner. https://www.homemadeturbo.com/tech_p...ld_all_1_P.jpg

theres no way that it was an std mani. it shouldnt be that long of a manifold. the bolt pattern isnt even the same on the exhaust

Re: hf mani for california only?
 

i had a 91 std from canada that came with the long manifold. some of them do, im not sure of the years or manufacture dates but i think its just from the late model std's.

Re: hf mani for california only?
 

my point is that there's no way i could bolt a turbo onto that style of a manifold. ive almost gotten to the point of getting a log kit. if you add up the 50 bucks for the hf manifold, and the other 50 for the adapter. it doesnt seem that chaep anymore. besides, i could put an external wastegate on the log mani in the future.

Re: hf mani for california only?
 

my point was, you told me it wasent an std manifold. I told you theres more than one type. and of course you cant bolt a turbo to it. but with some immagination and a u bend. You could give it the reach around. like this. heeyy, now you have a super cool top mount!! all the kids on the street will envy your mad rare std manifold. and now you dont have hte waste gate problems that the HF manifold runs into. See, its nothing a little creative problem solving cant fix....

Re: hf mani for california only?
 

lol. i like that one.
shure, ill just route my turbo under my tranny and have like 32 bends in it and call it creative. who cares if it looks like ----, right?

Re: hf mani for california only?
 

if you want it to look good then go buy a log or somthing. i dont think using an hf mani looks good. im personaly planing on using the reach around tenique on my celica. but theres alittle more room since the engines tilted back. i dont think it will look to bad when its done. since i can keep the factory heat sheild and everything.

Re: hf mani for california only?
 

i would pick the HF manifold over that 91 std manifold anyday trying to fab something up with that would be a bitch and not worth it

Re: hf mani for california only?
 

there is a california cx manifold that is different than the hf/std manifolds.
the top is just like a 96+ cat mani. however, it is a 3 piece like the hf/std ones.
