Anyone know where I can get one of these, I can get it made this summer but I'd much rather enjoy it now ha.

For a B16A

I'm running a huge fluidyne radiator and I'd much rather not have to buy something smaller to fit the turbo so I need a manifold that places my turbo over behind the passenger light. Or if you know anyone selling one....

 

Not sure if Hytech makes them anymore but thats one company off the top of my head. They are very nice quality I might add.

 

I don't recommend that you design your turbo setup around a radiator

 

what's the purpose of running this manifold anyway? I think it looks like a waste of money, especially in that pic

you need to look at muckmans set-up to get the point of them he set-up is clean

 

Lovefab used to make those, a local guy has one. They are nice, you can have a full radiator, AC, and as big a downpipe as you want and it all fits in there easily.

 

A freind of mine has one. He had a local shop fab it for him. The only purpose is to keep A/C, P/S. Plan on coating and wrapping your housings, downpipe & manifold, and upgrading your radiator hoses. It looks liek a PITA.
With the way its setup on the ZC there it looks like air to water is your only option.

It seems like a costly upgrade just because you dont want to purchase a $200 radiator.

 

A ramhorn or topmount + new narrow rad will likely be cheaper than that sidewinder. The DP and chargepiping are going to be unusual as well, adding to the cost.

I'd suggest an EG rad + SPAL fan & shroud, tubular x-member, and a 'normal' turbo manifold. You'll be better in the long run, since you'll have to wrap that sidewinder good to keep from heatsoaking the rad. A wide rad won't help much if you have 800F pipes inches from it.

AC is the only reason I'd choose that style if you have an EF. People usually get EF's for weight reasons; therefore, AC is counter-productive in those cases.
