Hey guys I am in the middle of building a custom turbo kit with a 14b of my 94 civic. And this is my current dillemma.........finding the right manifold. Of course there is the most cost effective option which is the std manifold but I would really like to retain the a/c. I've done a lot of searching and all the manifolds that I have found that would come close to suiting my needs, i.e turboperformance, either dont have the correct flange for my turbo(Im sure can be easily fixed with an adapter plate) and/or come with an external wastegate flange which I also dont need. One manifold I did find(www.iboost.org) looks perfect for what I need but Im not sure if it would allow me to keep the a/c and ps. Would anyone happen to know if that manifold would allow me to do that? If not does anyone know of any other manifolds that fit my needs? I guess if anything I'll just end up goin with the std manifold but I just want to see all of my options.
Thanks
.....BTW can ps be kept with the std manifold? I never remember to check on that

 

go to www.homemadeturbo.com they love using this manifold. allso they haev a FAQ page that i am sure will answer most of your questions.

Thanks for the help even though I already knew of the site I have been exchanging emails with Jeff the past few months and he has been a huge help to me. Chances are I will prolly use the std, like I said Im just looking at all of my options.

 

well with the sohc you dont have that many choices

 

There arent that many choices...thays why I asked here to see if I was missing something lol. I guess Im goin to end up buying an std manifold this week for 45 bux shipped. I barley use the a/c, and Im sick of being naturally aspiratied

 

I know your pain all to well. I plan on getting a turbo manifold later and putting my ac back in. For now, the vx(same as the std) manifold will do. Just save all your ac parts if you want it back later down the road.

 

Yea Im definatley not throwing away or selling off my a/c....Im a firm beleiver in keeping all my old parts for those "just incase" situations. I notice your from illinios...what area you from? I know a couple of guys of off h-t from illinios maybe someday we can get some sort of meet goin.

 

I'm from joliet. I thought there was a meeting coming up in chicago.
