Default SPA Cast Topmount - Does a t3/t4 clear the hood in a crx?

I think this manifold is the bees knees. Top mount, cast reliability. Probably great power?? Design looks like it would flow well anyways.

My only question is does anyone run it in a CRX?? On a d16 motor.

Im hoping a t3/t4 clears the hood and everything else

Has anyone tried one in a crx?? I know they fit eg/ek/dc, and they make a clocking flange. But I dont need the clocking flange, and am hoping someone knows if it will fit.

Honda Civic Del Sol CRX D15 D16 SOHC 1.6L T3 T4 TOP Mount Turbo Manifold EM040 | eBay



Thanks for any feedback of this manifold in a crx :tribe:

I highly doubt it will clear the hood. It would have to be a mini turbo.I had problems with my waste gate clearing the hood in the same position. Anything is possible with some fabrication though.

Maybe try the question in the FI forum and see if anyone is running one.
Any luck on google?

Pics and links are all dead in that thread, and a gt35 is much bigger than a real t3 .60/.63

Nobodys tried this??

REALLY old thread, but next to last reply has an answer.
Can't really trust it too much since "maybe" SPA has revised the casting in the last few years.

I wanna kno the same thing. EF's have such a tiny bay it's hard to get anything off the shelf that fits and custom work can be pricey

Turbo-related threads belong in the Forced Induction forum not the EF forum.
