Default I'm looking for a exhaust manifold that faces front...

From my old Turbo Ford days, I have a brand new Garrett T3/T4 hybrid in a .63 AR that I want to use for my next engine. I'm pretty new to Honda's and am just learning to source stuff. I need a manifold that faces front, not up or down because of the elbow on the turbo. I'm thinking it may be too big and I should sell it for a smaller unit, say in the .48 A/R range or so, but... it's paid for and I have it.

I'm not certain if I want to turbo a D or B18B, but just would like to know where I can source these. Anybody know?

Here's an example:


Please dont turn this into a D vs. B turbo, or even my selection of huffer, I'm just looking for a manifold.

With a manifold like that the turbo probably wouldnt fit between it and the rad. support. Just get a normal one with the turbo facing down.

Its like people can't resist making dumb comments.


I would think your best bet would be either to A.) Get a log manifold kit and weld it yourself as you see fit. B.) Have one of the many fabricators on here make you a custom log based on your specs and space requirements.

I was hoping there was a source already for this style of turbo. I was hoping not to go custom, but it may be my only alternative if I insist on using this huffer.


Thanks bud.

Any pics of the turbo, sometimes its cheaper, or a better idea to buy a new turbo.

Um, the housings will rotate and as they rotate, so will the elbow. It should work out. Take pictures of the turbo though.
