does anyone know if a dsm factory turbo manifold fit the d16?

 

no it wont... the factory dsm TURBO ONLY fits the CRX HF and Civic STD manifolds.. also the 92-95 cx manifold. bolts directly up. so you would use those as your turbo manifold.

 

the 96+ dx manifolds too

 

so the dsm TURBO would fit those civic manifolds? even without an adapter plate?

 

They bolt right up? If they do, why do people use adapter plates with them? Probably can just rig it up and bolt it on, but not a factory type fit. That is pretty much what I'm trying to do anyway, but with a different turbo... although the DSM turbo looks a whole lot better fitment wise right now.

 

They DO NOT BOLT RITE UP!!@!#@@#@#@#@# you have to make an adpater plate out of 1/2"-3/4" steel plate.. its very simple to do .. take a gasket from the trubo trace it on the metal and drill teh holes... then take the manifold gasket and trace on the metal and drill the holes.... then make them will some type of bolts that can take a bit of heat

 

the ideal manifold to use is the HF/STD manifold out of 88-91 civics/crx's also VX and CX manifolds from the EGs..



thanx to ABAZ from HMT for the picture
i think that's HF STD DX manifolds...

you can basically make ANY turbo fit those manifolds all you have to do is make an adaptor plate like here like the previous person said.. trace the gasket onto metal and cut it out



hehehe thanx to Jeff (aka Abaz) for posting his information what us D series owners would have done with out you man ( btw this info is straight off his site http://www.homemadeturbo.com which is currently down )
