you didnt answer my question about how much cheaper it would be without your exhaust manifold, beause i can get a custom log one made where i can still keep my ac for 150

sorry, as i know this has probably been answered in one of the other threads... could i have a listing of what the kit includes [intercooler?].
you also mentioned the v-tec, where the lx has a v-tec-e (i bought this expressily for future turbo's - lower initial compression). i'm hopint to run between 8 and 10 lbs boost for the street... and spooling at about 3000 would be nearly perfect for my application.

The LX does not have VTEC-E. I think you are thinking of the HX. The LX has no VTEC whatsoever. You are right about the lower compression though.

the biggest misconception on turbo manifolds is the purpose it serves. this manifold i have made to fit in the 7 gen civic w/out modifing everthing around it it keeps the a/c stock fans stock mid pipe stock rad hoses and is farly easy to put in.it is not an equal length but it is a 4into1 style.i have found this to be the more inportant quaity over the equal length and here is why.w/ a log style manifold all the exh. go into one chamber then into the turbo.this causes a pressure spike and heat biuldup to take pace in the manifold .this extra pressue in the manifold cause heat disapation before the exhust gets to the turbo.(be not mis informed turbos do not run on exhust blowing throw the turbine ,but on the heat and pressure)w/ a 4into1 style the exh. gases don't meet untill they are inthe inlet of the ehx. turbine this causing the heat and presure to build at the turbine causing faster spoolup time and mor efficent power.in a perfic world an equal length manifold is best because it adds better scavenging of the cyclinders .unfortunetly honda didn't consult me onthis before to the design of the engine compartment so well have to make do!!

Ok, so with this setup I do not have to modify any accessories like the a/c in any way right?
Also, what about the fuel management. What kind of management will be included in the kit?

You may not even need an exhaust. It is bolting straight up to a stock LX exhaust.

alrigt !already let me answer some of these ???
it should fit an auto. souldn't need ajustments for tune mabey a colder plug after dyno i'll specify it bolt up to stck lx exh. untill someone else drives to my shop and i put the kit on an ex then i'll make it for the ex. it doe clear the a/c the intercooler ie 7x24x2 3/4 .installation will require very little modes to the car. I expect around 190 to the ground at 7 psi on the lx the turbo system will suport close to three hunderd to the ground. but its your car!!! I should be at the dyno mabey friday or saterday please be patient I want it to be bitchen before i release it to all. we dont want another turbo performance insident .
