Default ? 4 a friend : miata turbo mani.?

Ok well one of my friends was wondering if its possible to take a turbo manifold froma 91 miata and re-machine it to fit on a 2nd gen. Integra or a '00 civic si. And is it even worth trying?

The Greddy Miata manny is almost as notorious for cracking as all the SSAC manifolds. Doesn't make a lot of snse anyways when there are so many B series offerings that fit any budget.

I have a few 3/8" stainless Miata head flanges laying around. You need 1.6 or 1.8? I have both. The 1.8s have recesses machined into them for the Schedual 40 pipe everyone uses for manifolds. I saw on Full Races site they did a Miata recently. I was kinda suprised to not see a manifold that looks like their honda ones but I am sure they have their reasons. I would assume they access to head flanges too.

This is what I was replying to. Geoff, you have any more info on the Miata you guys built. The past the radiator piping is similar to how i set mine up. Your manifold design is what I am most curious about though.
