Hey guys. Im having a custom log syle manifold built for me so i can keep my air conditioning. The turbo will be a small t3. The car is a 91 crx si with b16a swap and hasport mounts, so the motor sits a little more forward.

The question is, where and how should I have the adaptor plate welded to the log to allow for my ac lines and compressor to clear, and the turbo still fit in the engine bay. Does it have to be welded off to the side? I was thinking about having the guy weld it in the middle but not straight down, like kinda slanted up a bit pointing down at an angle.

This is the one I'm thinking about having the guy make for me....this is his work http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...404406975&rd=1

 

I'm thinking the only way you will know for sure is do a test fit man..

See I cant do that tho, cuz hes out of state, and i dont know anyone with a log style mani, plus i still dont have the t3. Hrm, this sux. Oh yea, not to mention the motors not in the car for another couple weeks, hehe.

 

lol, so you want us to guess? heh, dude the only way is a test fit, their is no way someone is going to tell you the right spot, especially with a B-series.

k man. ill just have to wait on it. unless you know of a manifold a company or site makes that would automatically work.....im sure you do since you have a b series rex. anything not much over 300 is fine. ---- id love one of thos manis that lead the turbo over to the left where a vortech super would normally sit, do thos allow for ac in the rex, or do they get in the way of the lines? How much are those usually?

 

go to the tech pages and check out b-series manifolds, call the places and ask

 

that dudes aricle says it fits with ac. just tell him you got a t3 with ac and he should konw where to put it.

 

the thing is he doesnt. hes asking me to tell him where to put it. btw his pic of the mani i just realized is the same pic jeff lists on the b series manifold page that some performance store makes. wierd.
