Whats up guys,
Im lookin to turbo my d16y8 and am curious to see how good the hf manifold 14b set up is..

 

Depends on a couple factors, including amount of money you have to spend, and the power goals you are looking for.

For a quick, simple, cheap manifold and turbo, that will work just fine.

The only thing I will say, is don't cheap out on fuel managment. Please get your car tuned after you get the setup complete.

Good luck.

 

Yeah...i just want something that will put me to about 170 whp and is still reliable. I know all about fuel management, im not goin cheap there, but thank you!

 

Here is a couple quick ideas to maximize the efficiency of that manifold.

Get the gasket you are going to use, both the gasket to the turbo, and the gasket to the head. The gasket holes should be bigger than the manifold holes; thus take a sharpie and make an outline on the manifold.

Then take a dremel and port that bitch open. Give you a little better flow, considering the runner openings on it are narrow as hell.

 

Good idea..thanks..

 

14b and hf mani are good for 170 easy and they are cheap. You will want more power down the road though, and those wont cut it.

 

get a log manifold, dont waste ur money and time on a hf setup u can get a decent set up for cheap!

 

I've already bought the hf manifold..and i dont feel like selling it or anything, so i definitely am doin the hf way..i want it to be a/c compatable..

 

I dont think HF can be a/c compatible because were it put the turbo.

 

x2 look into a cast mani for ac. Other than that, you'll make 170 easy with fuel management and a tune. I made 190 on 9psi and drive it daily and race on the weekends. Use name brand parts when possible and have fun with it. Beware of the turbo bug. More power will be wanted shortly.
