Default budget turbo in honda tuning!!

did anyone read about the budget turbo in the latest honda tuning? i always knew that the hf manifold was easy to fabricate, but to get 170 whp from a stock motor and a 2nd gen eclipse turbo... hell yeah! i have a friend that can get me the turbo and side mount, and i already have an hf motor in my garage. the only thing i'm unsure about is if the hf manifold bolts to a z6 block. it should since its d series, right? any reactions and help would be interesting. i think i have a new project

Ok Ok!!! What about say.... a 96 Civic exhaust manifold??? The cat looks to be in the same place as an HF. I've never seen an HF so I dunno for sure....

I think I can get one of those manifolds....

You have to cut the cat off than make an adapter plate and a flange etc. A lot more work than an hf one, go for it if you have one though.
