Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics i don't have a working point and shoot camera anymore so the iphone has to make due

wayneshondawork

looks good so far,just make sure the pipes are equal length

civicgsrturbo32

yeah im gonna do my best to make them equal length. This is only my 3rd manifold so far so im still learning. The other 2 i did where ramhorns not much to screw up their.

wayneshondawork

harder than a 4 to 1 but its better than payin for one and u can make it for exactly wht u want the car to do(power band)

civicgsrturbo32

Exactly I have like $350 wrapped in material so it's saving me a bunch. I got more done on the manifold today I'll post a pic up when I get home from work tonight. Everything is tacked together now. I'm pretty pleased how it turned out.

wayneshondawork

yea,were did u get the materials and wht kinda turbo is tht(if u dnt mind me askin)

civicgsrturbo32

I got my flanges from straightline and all the weld el's from ace stainless. I'm running a pte 6765 81ar t4 gonna be getting a .84 ar divided housing for it since precsion is offering that option now. My power goal is like 650-700 on q16.

civicgsrturbo32

well i almost have the manifold done. Just have to do the waste gates and it will be complete.

wayneshondawork

looks tight man and the welds look clean,and whts with the .84 ar divided housing from presision, does tht change the powerband or the boost

civicgsrturbo32

Thanks man pretty happy with how it turned out. That 84ar divided housing should help with spool a little bit probably the only advantage.

civicgsrturbo32

well i just finished up the manifold today. Seems like know one has taken any interest in this thread so this is the last pic im gonna put up. And let the thread die.

anavrin

nice car gonna have a sick setup soon keep up the good work....would like to see the final pics of the car when its making power

civicgsrturbo32

thanks man i'll keep the thread up dated i guess even if know one posts in it lol i should have everything done by end of next month im hoping. As the build moves along. i'll post it up.

anavrin

yeah for sure keep it updated always nice to see other honda lovers out there putting time and effort into their setups...how much power you hoping to make?? and is this your daily??or just weekend warrior? must be nice being able to weld your parts together i wish i knew how to make a top mount or ramhorn....would get rid of my cast log hahah...

civicgsrturbo32

Its my weekend warrior im glad i don't have to daily it. Pa winters are brutal on hondas. Im gonna shoot for 650-700whp on q16. And for low boost im not sure probably be right around 450whp cause anymore than that is worthless you know.

Hawjap1gsr

i like the top mount manifold you made there. Does the turbo sits clear from your hood?

civicgsrturbo32

yeah the hood shuts fine. the 6765's compressor housings really aren't that big so clearance an issue.

Hawjap1gsr

how much did this mani cost you already.

civicgsrturbo32

Probably bout $350-$400 I'm not sure on a exactly how much I spend but that's a ball park price.

Hawjap1gsr

cool. thats a good price range for a good built mani. i wish i can built my own. i am on a new set up now and i am looking for a top mount mani. changing over from a Inlinepro mani. but dyno yours and post up so number.

SiRCiviC94

more pics of car :DD

civicgsrturbo32

Yea it saved me a ton buy building my own. I took a top mount off my car that I bought from turbo elements it was ok I just didn't like the wastegates placement. And I'll def post a dyno sheet when I make it to the dyno.

civicgsrturbo32

I'll post some when I get a chance it's not much to look at really just a cx hatch. But it's clean it's a Florida car.

civicgsrturbo32

well i got the downpipe all tacked together and the only spot i welded was the 3-4" transition to the v band and to a 90 goin down.
