im making a custom turbo manifold out of what i had left of a greddy header, i want to make it a top mount turbo manifold, im going to cut a hole into one of the tubes and weld in a arm for a external wg, the thing is i think the only way i can mount the turbo is with the compressor side facing the transmission will i have room for a down pipe or not, this is on a crx with a b16. thanks.

Sure...why not?

This is actually the way most turbo setups are run with the compressor closest to the tranny.

 

and im correct that the intake side is the compressor side right i dont want to confuse anyone lol

Yep.

 

ok sounds like it should work thanks.

 

In a CRX quite a few are run tranny side, however altogether very few are run that side. Just more of a hassle for the intake as well as a downpipe. Typically the ebay specials run the turbo backwards, but its all doable

 

yea this def isnt a ebay special lol im going to do it right the manifold is going to be crazy when im done with it.

 

Post pics of the manifold.

 

when i get a chance i def will
