Manifold Question - Page 2

HellSpawn · 03-30-2005

Good info.

Im trying to build a cheap turbo (under 1500 bucks) so I have been checking out stuff on ebay. Theirs a SUPER XS Power T3 Turbo Brand New .42 .48 for $199 bucks! I know you get what you pay for but man If I could get a turbo and manifold for under 500bucks Im half way home.

The downside for me is I dont know jack crap about real world turbo stuff. I have read all the post on this site (excellent stuff) but its scary trying to buy this stuff and make sure it will work.

I like the look of the HKS manifold (very clean) but I think it will only work with T25's.

yeah, my turbo wouldn't work on the HKS. it would hit the fans or the that support bar down the middle. but it does look clean.

Doesnt seem like a lot of good options available. I really hate to spend 400+ but I guess thats the best choice.

I did some searches for the OBX manifold and man their are some major problems with that crap.

Oh well so much for cheap solutions.

^^good luck trying to put together a decent turbo kit for under $1500 and getting a turbo and manifold does not make you "half way home"

bradmanuwf · 03-30-2005

yeah, good luck with that. and yeah, there aren't many options for the 7thgen yet. but there are more and more things coming out for it. just going to take some time.

I hope more stuff comes out. Im so tired of seeing all this stuff for the older civic's and only 1 or 2 decent kits for ours.

Its been about a year since I was last checking out this board and at that time SF turbo's seemed to be the bomb! I come back and things have changed alot.

I guess their is always the electric turbo!! Just kidding ( - :

lol get the obx turbo mani and see how long it last

HellSpawn · 03-30-2005

I was just wondering how long it lasted for some of the guys that had it before. Its so hard to believe someone would make something that bad.

So in terms of best product (for the price) and best under hood fit who do you guys say go with?

Im taking OBX of the list for obvious reasons and the HKS for bad turbo placement.

just go with the dezod. dezod seems to be good guy with some good info and products.
