Order it up man. I don't see how you could possibly get a better mani for the price...hell, it comes with a lifetime warranty!

Re: > Anyone running the BLOX mani yet? (jfoster)
I just test fitted my blox manifold on my gsr integra.
You have to notch out the bottom of the flange at 3 different points, otherwise the flange will not sit flush on the exhaust ports. No biggie, but I was a bit suprised about this since you have to modify the manifold(or your block).
If you try mounting a 38mm tial wastegate without an elbow it ends up hitting the head and valve cover. I ended up grinding down a few mm off the head and valve cover where it got in the way and now it clears. Also, there were no problems clearing the hood on my integra.
I am keeping my A/C, so for my 5-bolt t3/04e turbo to clear, I had to grind down the tab below the B18C1 stamp and cut out the block webbing to the right of it. Very tight fit but it is doable.

If you can post up some pics. Are you up and running yet? Just wondered if the TiAL still clears when the motor rocks?

what are you running for fuel managment? Those numbers seem a little low for a b16 with 10psi. I'm looking to hit those numbers on my LS motor if not a little more on 10psi. How do you like the blox manifold though? Got mine on my car, but have not ran it yet since I am still in the process of putting my aprts on

I have one in my room. The casting quality is great compared to the rev hard and drag manifolds. Wastegate port in the center of the runners. A great value manifold, for the price.

Can I see some pics of one of these mani's? So Blox has got to be a fairly new company right? When I first heard about it, I figured it was a cheapo company, like some eBay crap. But apparently they make pretty nice cams, intake mani's and now turbo mani's too. Interesting. What was the price?

I am using a blox manifold, first it was a pain in the *** until I get some help, now I love it.
you have to shave you block to get the turbo to fit, and shave a little off your head ti fit a tial wastegate without using a elbow, the elbow I bought did do anything but face wastegate outlet on the #1 runner you cant use a dumptube with the elbow. everything work out fine.

I shaved my block and the turbo is on. But the inlet is right against the clutch bleeder so I can' t put a filter on it

Re: (jfoster)
Majority of these short turbo manifolds like Blox, Drag, RevHard, & etc. will require you to shave the webbings off the blocks if you have the compressor facing the passenger side cause it was originally intended for A/C friendly.
Plus since most people are running huge *** turbos does not help either. I run a small T3 with a RevHard mani and it does not require any shavings of my block, it's not even close. The block was shaved before to accomadate an T3/T04b(R.I.P).
But Blox mani is good for the price, not too sure how long it will last cause it looks like the drag one and everyone knows drag manifolds crack between #3 and #2 in due time. I would like to see how it holds up.....
