I have a 1996 civic d16y5 . tring to turbo it. What side does the downpipe go down to keep my ac.

 

if you cant figure that out you most likely will never be boosted.

 

I just wanted to buy the downpipe before I take it apart. Im sure I can figure it out. ust wanted to make I smooh

 

you cant buy the downpipe before buying the rest of the components. you will have to have the manifold, turbo, and o2 housing if you run certain turbo's before you can get the downpipe. even then it will still have to most likely be modified to fit.

 

I have every thing else but the down pipe

 

well, which side is the turbine on and which side is the compressor on, if you are using an HF manifold and certain turbo's w/ internal gate it can only go one way and isnt a/c compatible. usually though, a/c compatible means turbine on the drivers side, and inlet on passenger side. makes the downpipe build a little harder but keep a/c

 

I have external wastegate . The turbine and the compressor can go both ways .what in the norm? Some kit have one way some the other.

 

you are gonna need to put the compressor towards the passenger side to keep a/c, but it all depends on the turbo you use, and the manifold.

 

the turbo t3\t4 and have equal length turbo manifold

 

you need to know what outlet turbo you have.. is it a ford or mercades styl e.


which way your turbo turns MATTERS. also what brand manifold


at this point i think youll just need to take pics of everything and let us take care of it for you

if its a custom EQ manifold. youll need to get it custom made. or you can send it to me to fabricate you one.

 

how can you tell ford or mer

 

the amount of time its taken you to make all these posts you could have, put the turbo on your manifold, pulled off your stock manifold, stuck it on the motor, and figured it all out on your own. It doesn't take long to pull off your stock manifold, and to check it out.

 

^^ I agree....or post a damn pic!!
