Mr_Bojangles

I am ordering a gasket for my hf manifold, and I am not sure which engine it comes from. It is the hf manifold with an L on the #4 cyclinder.

please advise which engine code / year thank you...

(search engine is down)

From HMT, hope it helps:

d series manifolds
like the 'b' series, many companies make custom manifold for d series also, but d series guys have one other option also.......The "HF Manifold"
Everyone refers to it as the HF manifold but it came on other cars too. it came on the 88-91 CRX HF. it also came on a 88-91 Civic Std, they are hatchbacks with a 4 speed, vinal interior, and a black panel on the hatch that says 'Civic', (base model) Another car that has them is a 92-95 Civic CX/VX hatch. Newer cars have the precat style manifold like the HF manifolds. But they Pre-cat and manifold are 1 piece. You would have to chop off the cat inorder to use it. all you will need to use this as a turbo manifold is an 'adapter plate' which bolts to the manifold where the cat was and has a bolt pattern on the other side, the same as the turbo you choose to use, then you can just bolt the turbo to the manifold.

What the hell is a HF/STD/CX manifold, where can I get one and how do I know if it will fit my motor?

A.
The HF manifold came from 88-91 Honda CRX HF's, the STD manifold came from 88-91 Civic STD/DX baselines. How to tell them apart? The STD has larger ports and has an imprint of the #3 on runner #4. Check your local salvage yards, and check out the classifieds on our forum. This manifold will fit ANY D-series motor. This manifold was designed for a Pre-cat style design, No, a Turbo will not simply bolt directly to this manifold, and an adapter plate has to be made! (D16/D15 or ZC) engines will fit. Normal 4-2-1 or 4-1 manifolds will not work.

Thanks for the info.

I however need to know which one of the couple of options has the L on the #4 cyclinder pipe.

I imagine the gaskets would be diffrent between the three styles. thanks

I edited my first post to add more info, check it out again and see if that answers your question.

Mr_Bojangles

L or 3 it's all the same my memory fails me once again...

Thank you very much for the info. Gasket has been ordered!

Mr_Bojangles

actually it just happens I was right it is an L on the #4 runner.

so anyone know which year make model engine that manifold is off of?

Mr_Bojangles

I would think this would almost be common knowledge, does anyone know?

labatt50

gasket is the same for all 3

Mr_Bojangles

thank you for the reply,

it shows up on the computer as three differrent part #'s, but I'll just grab one and try it out

thanks again!
