anybody in the NW want to help build me a turbo manifold?
 

Hey guys, I am working on boosting my 1986 Honda Accord.

Its a pretty simple setup, but the turbo manifold I have now will not give me enough clearance to run a downpipe past the block. I would like some help designing and/or building a new manifold for my car.

If anybody would be willing or able to give me some help I would appreciate it. Also if there is a better forum to ask for this sort of thing, could the mods move it for me?

modify the god damn downpipe, unless youre running a t3 with the flange mounted lengthwise with the car :1

there is no downpipe yet... all i have is a ram horn turbo manifold and turbo (turbo is t3/t4 57 trim .60/.63) bolted on. its a t3 flange mounted the 'normal' way. exhaust side of turbo is pointing towards the passenger side of the car like many other setups i have seen.

with the current turbo placement i'm not sure that there wlll be room... even if a build a solid metal front motor mount between the motor mount and the crossmember I don't think I will have a way to build a downpipe with a sharp enough angle... even if i 'could' it would probably flow like ----. so I am asking for the help/advice of some local people who can fab to help me out or toss some suggestions my way...

anyway i may just work on getting a simple log manifold going for the time being.
I may get pictures later, but I guess I am just wondering who in the portland area is able to build manifolds, I don't have the tools or experience necessary. :(

As you can see I have about 4.5" from where the downpipe will start, to the front motor mount (which I may need to build a solid mount to buy me a little more space).
The real problem I foresee is the 3" limit between where the downpipe will begin, and the block/oil pan. I might be able to get away with a 2.5" downpipe through there, but even with that, the angle will need to be pretty extreme.

I can probably get some better pictures that will make the situation a little easier to envision, but I will need to pull the rad which I didn't want to do this afternoon... :)
