turbo manifolds
looking to get a turbo manifold and downpipe for a t25 using an internal wastegate. does anyone in the area have an excellent reputation for fabricating quality manifolds that make power. the minifold and down pipe will be for a b16 in a crx.

Re: turbo manifolds
I know that greaser makes manifolds, although I caught wind he moved away, not sure about that. Anywho, specialty Z makes downpipes with wastegate seperators for t25s, you may want to give them a call and see what they can do for you.

Re: turbo manifolds
definately check out www.honda-tech.com in there forced induction sections, very knowledgeable there and you can probably find a good deal on a quality mani...i recently saw one named "blox" that has come out recently, its very nice and pretty cheap, about $300, but thats for an external wg setup...

Re: turbo manifolds
You would be better off just buying a drag or revhard and go with a t3 turbo of some sort to be honest. Might cost you another 2-300 but well worth it. T25 would be good for D series. Let me or Thermal know we have done several custom turbo setups. Can do all piping need to including DP. late

Re: turbo manifolds
those love fab manifold look really good, i just wish they had posted some dyno charts versus say a rev hard manifold. i like the drag and revhard kits and i can call them and have them make me a custom kit but id rather have a knowlegeble local guy get the cash for that sort of thing. i really like that disco potato turbo in how quick it spools and has enough air flow for 300hp. the car is a daily driver and will never see slicks so i figure something in the park of 275hp is more than enough. plus that 2-300 can go to some rods and pistons. i also want to save money were i can on the kit and not have to purchase piping twice. spooledex whats your phone number id like to see some of your work and talk prices. nothing will be done until next month since thats when ill have saved enough cash to get this thing rolling.

Re: turbo manifolds
Well if you go with that small t25 on your car. expect to have to push 12+psi on that easy. You could get a cast manifold and push around 8-9 psi and meet your goals pretty easy. I can make you a custom kit and install it for less than you could just buy a kit for. Pm me if you are serious and the money. I can give you a list of the parts I would use. later
