Default 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

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.

well duh. That's still an awesome price.

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.

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

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.

So you can offord a 200 dollar ssautoshit but not a 300 bmc? Save up and buy the bmc. Even if you make your own to buy the pipe& flanges it wont save you much.
