rather high flow cool looking 40 buck manifold setup

stock LS top half of the header, and 3 new 1.5'' stainless bends, along with some scrap cuts from some other manifolds. used T3/T04b (stage 3 exhaust wheel i think)

car is on a VERY tight budget...like, just a hair over 2000 bucks. 88 hf, gutted, and shooting for high 10's low 11's.

stock LS, ys1 with ITR lsd, and used parts everywhere, tuned with TurboEdit

For the purpose of the build, I think boost creep would probably be a good thing.

You could try porting out the internal wastegate hole and putting the external on the downpipe flange

Seen it done not sure how well it worked

Re: (troubledsol03)

that wastegate placement is the only thing i dont like, but it had to go there. it'll be coming off of 2 runners, and i bet it'll creep a bit, but thats kinda what i'm going for. tuning it for the creep (no bucks for a boost controller)..

the internal wastegate hole is only like 1/2'' big...its SO little. it might not even creep, as its a pretty high-flow turbo...and the exhaust will be only a couple feet long, probably without even a resonator.

i love using stuff that is free and sitting around instead of buying it....it really adds a huge challenge to the car. red civic standard (luke) has done a great job buying/budgeting/managing the project so far. it should be a really fun all-around car (not too great of a street car, but it'll be street-driven a bit for sure). we plan on abusing it until it dies, then putting another engine in , and doing it again. still got plenty of rust to fix though... ick.

Are you looking for any stock parts for the car? I'm parting out my 89 DX... there isn't much worthwhile but if you need any common parts you're welcome to them. I love these challenges.

Nice... I was wondering if there was someone using the stock mani like that. Cool beans.

Awesome stuff. People on HMT have been doing that type of manifold for a little while. They call it an elephant manifold due to it's appearance. Can't wait to see the finished product!!!

Since it looks like you have some extra parts laying around, just weld another tube from the other secondary and merge it together to the WG.
