i wanna see what you guys are designing and finding out what works best.
1.a simple coming off the exhaust then back down to the rest of the exhaust system and just leaving the factory manifolds.
2. a 3-2-1 style were the muge collector is just 2 larger pipes
3. a 6-1 style turbo mani.

honda tech is not the best place for this question. most of good tech applies to inline 4s.
a v6 is really just 2 inline threes with a common crank, maybe look up some exhaust manifolds for triples. another good source might be GM stuff, as i know alot of people run
3.1, 3.4, and 3.8 v6 turbo motors. most specifically the 3800 series
lastly you could look to the inline 6 (supra & skyline) crowd for some 6-1 collectors.

A 3-2 manifold is best - divided ftw. The pulses are divided enough per bank where a crossover/up pipe won't impact performance, especially with a divided-inlet turbo. In most cases people have to compromise on the crossover due to space issues.

i can prob get more for you if you need.
obv the manifolds on the head
then the y pipe connects them and they merge and run to the front with the actual turbo manifold mount point.
not my car
but i'm sure it could use some really nice bracing made for it.
I've done a single turbo Audi 2.7 motor. The customer wanted a single turbo for 1000 hp. Removing the rain tray would have made this job much easier, but he didn't want to.
I am just about to start another single turbo kit for the same motor, different customer. This next one has no "rules", so we will be making it much different.
Here's the first one I did :
I started with two standard manifolds that I normally make for twin turbo setups for this motor :


Then connected them at a twin scroll flange :

Placement looks weird, but that is the ONLY way it would fit into the engine bay.

Hope that helps!

"tony the tiger"
what intake manifold are u using?
also why du you have the "buldge"in your charge pipe?
also who makes that HUGE volcity stack you run on ur cars.

You can do about 500 awhp on a bone-stock 2.7. Back the VAG days, we had many cars running completely stock motors putting down between 450 and 500 whp on a Mustang dyno ...
No not custom fab, that's an ebay j series single turbo pipe kit into s2000. I think they're $99. Just kidding, I know thats not what you meant, but you walked right into that one, and I couldn't resist.
