Default B SERIES TOP MOUNT MANIFOLD A/C COMPATIBLE?

Are there any a/c compatible top mount manifolds/turbo kit for a b series motor specifically b18c ? There are log mani's, and rams, but any top mounts that are compatible with a/c ?

Nope. runner design won't even begin to allow it. you could custom build one but unless you are a skilled fabricator and welder (or you're good friends with one) it won't happen.

Not entirely true DOC race built one for AMR but decided they would not offer it to the public. It's worth contacting DOC race since they know what it takes.

Certainly looks doable, easier w/out but you would know best. Now, with your clocking flange, would this help or make it harder to clear the A/C compressor with the charge pipe coming from the turbo and the DP?

I wonder if having top mount with a v band flange gives you any additional space to clear a/c components

AFI (before they went out of business) had a real wacky looking AC ramhorn with a v-band flange for pairing with a T4 housing with a v-band on the turbine inlet..unusual for a street setup but I suppose with this you could easily clock the turbo however you needed for clearance even though this wasn't a topmount
