Inline pro manifold Please Help
Power goal: 300-350 HP
Chassis: 1998 Civic HX
Motor: b16a2 /w B16 trans
Situation: I had my B16a2 Boosted with some no name log Manifold and a t3/t4 garrett turbo (4 bolt) from what i understand good to about 400 HP, had issues with the log manifold and it was removed. I purchased a inline pro t3/t4 Manifold (yes it has both bolt patterns drilled) http://www.inlinepro.com/s1/p-92-inl...-manifold.aspx. now heres my problem the manifold angles the turbo in such a way the downpipe Hits the motor. http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m...pse4f833ec.jpg
It seems that this turbo manifold is meant for 5 BOLT TURBO ONLY. at this point i am trying to keep my inline pro, any recomendations on how to resolve this. suggestion on a compatible turbo??
need to get this figured out fast gonna call inline pro in the morning but i was hoping to get advice from some one with experience running this manifold
thanks much
if it matters the block is B16a2 fully stock, and i do have a Built B18c1 (eagle rods/wiseco pistons/block guard 9:1 CR) still in the shop just owe a few more $$ on it also have GSR trans on the side

Re: Inline pro manifold Please Help
almost any manifold will require custom modification to the exhaust pipe to fit your particular engine/car setup. i sugest havint cut and clocked accordingly and welded back together

Best manifold...now that's just funny.
Take your car to a fabrication shop/performance shop. They'll make you a down pipe and your problem is solved. End of story, and yes its that's simple

The only alternative that one can do now is to either grind the block to allow it to fit, change your turbocharger to one that fits the T04B compressor cover (some Turbonetics and Custom Garretts allow for this). Going from a T04E to T04B cover in the same turbocharger is a bit pricey, so it may not be possible to "just switch".
In this case, its best to either change manifolds completely, or grind down the webbing of the block to allow for this. Inline Pro will not consider this fitment "an issue", so there's no real point in calling them. It was part of the design.
Good luck. Hope you get things to work.

Re: Inline pro manifold Please Help
I have this manifold and its been on my car for going on 4 years. This is not the A/C compatible manifold and the best configuration is to have the compressor facing the drivers side. I have changed turbos three times and needed a new down pipe custom made when I changed the flange type. I had a 3" vband at first and currently have the same 4 bolt you have pictured. Also I had to use a stud kit for the manifold to turbo and turbo to down pipe. This eliminated bolts backing out and made bolting up the down pipe a TON easier! InlinePRO used this manifold for Matt Keller's car years ago and hung a GT42 from it. It is a great manifold and I have no plans on changing it anytime soon!

Is this what he actually has?

Re: Inline pro manifold Please Help
Do you have pictures of it mounted on the car? I'm interested to see how it sits with the turbo facing the other direction

Got off the phone and its strictly a 5 bolt turbo system only. Clearing ac not an issue for me i already removed ac. Just yrying to get a 5 bolt turbo now any suggestions? I see alot more 4 bolt turbos havong a hard time finding 5 bolts looking for abput 57 trim and up

Gotta state budget for the turbocharger alone (Have a number please, not a
"well, I'm not cheap, but I don't want to break the bank".. No good),
Power goals for now as well as the future , fuel used.
purpose of the car (Please don't just say "quick spool" and still "power for later" that means Zero),
And some examples of what you've already checked out for yourself.
