I'm looking to turbo my 98 civic. But i would like to keep the a/c if possible. Does any1 know of a place were i can get a manifold that can do that?

 

email bmc racing in the forsale section. im sure he could help you out

 

BMC racing isn't currently making a A/C compatable mani- i e-mailed him about a week ago and asked him that exact question. He said he'll make an official post when he finishes designing it. Believe me I looked long and hard for a manifold that will retain A/C on the d16, and they simply do not exist at a reasonable cost. And even if you get one that looks like it will it probably won't. I finally gave up and just got an HF mani for like $35. If you can't stand the heat you've got bigger problems to worry about ... your best bet is an expensive manifold and a slimfan!

 

Ya i shouldnt be bitchin about the heat i live in idaho so its not to hot. Could i just go to the junkyard and get an hf manifold or would it be easier to buy one off of hmt.

 

depends on who you do business with on here, where the junkyard is etc. I got mine off ebay

 

I looked high and low to find one too, and decided to make my own, It's costing me $75 for everything.

 

well i would make my own but i dont know how. I have never touched a welder in my life or had a chance. But if you know of anybody who makes them dont leave me hangin

 

time to learn how to weld biatch! :P

 

importparts.com sells drag manifolds. They are A/C friendly. Just make sure you can fit a downpipe that clears your fan.

I say ---- the A/C. Turboing a factory N/A car is all about making sacrifices.

 

I just said screw the A/C. It's too expensive for a manifold that will let you retain it. I guess it all depends on presonal choice though.
