Hey ICU!  My car has stock engine. I have a 2 1/2 inch exhaust from down pipe to rear with a cat and muff. I have a re-mapped comp. mod. Boost controller set at 15lbs. Drilled out intake box. H&R springs. '94xr2 wheels with 195-15-55 tires. Short shifter. I believe at the time I had stock turbo, now have 14/16 hybrid. It's stronger. Stock inter-cooler. 190lph fuel pump.  Gus

its easy to do, take and get a stock mani.
(i got one if your needin it) get ya a dsm flange. set the flange on the bottom of the mani as close to centered on the hole in the mani as possible and weld arround the outside and inside with nickel rod. it sets the turbo lower, but the tdo4 hotside is a longer hotside ne ways so a new downpipe is in order... hell its a different flange to DP anyways then grind into the mani to clear the bolts on the flange... here ill post some pics to compare....

i Know a guy who is willing to make a manifold for us, you can put any flange on it that you want...but the first one will take time due to all the fitting...after that its cake

my problem is I dont know anyone who could do the welding for me that I would trust to hold up. Did you do the welding on that manifold?

What would you charge for the spare manifold you have with the DSM flange welded in place?

The turbo I have on mine must have been replaced a short time ago. I checked it yesterday for shaft play and it had ZERO shaft play in and out or up and down which really floored me.

I am sure it is do the fact an old lady had it and probably never went into boost. Since the turbo is in such great shape I would rather sell it off to someone who needs a stock unit and start off right with a turbo that can get me in the deep 13's without a problem.

There have been pleanty of DSM's in the high 12's with the 14b in their heavy ass 3400+ lb cars. I am sure with our light weight that it would have the balls to get into the deep 13's and high 12's without killing the turbo.

just my .02

the guy i found who welds works for the city making crap and does things on his own as well. he actually is currently making control arms and suspension stuff for the lower class WV off road racing. i have seen his sand rail he built with a VQ engine in it and when given the time his work is nice. i do not think he would charge too much just to do the flange.

ok im just gonna let the cat outta the bag ...

 making what i have is a PITA.. you need it welded with nickel rod and in order to do that someone needs to have a tig welder...
im just a stiffler on boost lag, and i wanted it done this way to reduce lag as much as i could ..

A MUCH SIMPLER WAY....

look closely at this picture....

 

better yet this one...

 

thats our manifold and turbo.. mounted on a
d-series civic i built a couple years ago...
in order to mount this you egg shape the center hole of the mani upward to fit.. allong with the top outter two in 45* outwards directions then it slides right on....

now reverse engineer this for a moment...

 you buy a d series tubular or log mani, and egg shape the center hole downwards and the two top outters inward at 45* angles and a d series mani will fit right on one of our engines... theese are cheap and plentiful on ebay, and all over the net... most are flanged for t3-t4 turbos but you can buy adaptor plates to run mitsubishi turbos if you wish.. now most of theese will also allow you to run external wastegates and by default will flow more air than our stock manifolds (also increase boost lag) due to the hondas head desighn flowing more air than ours
(ours flow about 180cfm where most d series flow arround 220cfm) this is easier and will yield more power in the long run...

i know, i know, im too smart for my own good...
ive tried alot of shit and me and chris do research constantly to come up with this crap...
   be good and happy tuning...Joe

dont necessarily need a TIG welder. A normal arc welder can do NiRod fine, but the trick is to superheat the manifold where you are welding it... oxy-acetylene works perfect there.

true an arc welder will weld with welding rod but the tig just does such a nice clean job...

just use a civic mani.. with a external wastegate and a t3-t4.. and make a rocket...
(no pun intended) LOL

I just want a more common turbo that has enough balls to get into the 13's with ease. That and are more common to find parts for.

Hey ICU!  When time and money allows it, change to a hybrid 14/11 turbo. Start putting your dimes and quarters aside, getting ready when your turbo gives out.  Gus

i agree..i been wanting to use a 16G since i got the car..for the simple fact they can run all day at the boost we can run on these cars. 16PSI is nothing for them...
