looks pretty similar to the blox cast manifold. not sure if with the blox the wastegate would hit the hood, but worse case all you need is an elbow.

i'd try it for $200

you think the wastegate will hit the hood in a b16a crx/w hasport mounts? cause they sell the wastegate elbow on the website to and im wondering if ill need it.?

a ef with a bseries on hasport mounts already does not clear the hood so i couldnt tell u. i know it clears fine with a spaced bottom cf hood if u know what im talking about. you probably had to cut the bottom of your hood to fit the b series with hasport into your ef correct?

to tell u the truth, imo, it would prob hit the hood slightly on a ef with b series on hasports. in everything else i would think it fits....i mean, who would manufacture this or any manifold in bulk that causes the wastegate to hit the hood on everyones car? no one would buy it if they had to cut a hole in their hood. i give these people the benefit of the doubt due to the looks of the manifold that its been through r&d to ensure it clears the hood fine.

it comes pretty damn closes but it fits ..now on my old crx with a B18vtec block i had to cut the webbing under the hood to get it to close,,but the b16a block has no issues..i think i know what you mean about the carbon fiber hood ..if i get this manifold ill probably just get the elbow anyway,,might as well...

but this guy that posted in this thread says he has this manifold on a b-series in a 91 civic,, i wish he would give some more feedback besides "i have that one on my car. works great.."

It looks like a InlinePro replica, although the wastegate mount is even higher. Which can't be good because my Tial 38mm hits my hood with my InlinePro mani. Had to hammer the hood frame in so it could fit, it only needed a couple mm's.

I am guessing that this manifold will have hood clearance issuses on most setups unless you run an elbow or have a really short WG.

PS i am running a boost controller and use the upper needle which is why I had to hammer the hood a bit.
