You probably also know that the first choice for home-brewing Honda Civic Turbo systems on the cheap is to get a VX Exhaust manifold.
I'm sure that is do to its highly restrictive flow properties.
If you want to read something, I'm sure the Honda guys know a thing or 2 about Hondas.
How To Turbo: LOOK HERE FIRST - HondaClub.com - Online forum for Honda and Acura owners
If you are lucky and/or good, some stock header sections can be made to mate with a turbo (the D16 manifold from the Civic VX is one such manifold). The key thing here is if you are cheap and buy a pre-built manifold, buy one that is made of cast iron. Tubular manifolds look cool and offer more power, but are prone to failure. The tubular manifolds that are not failure prone are very expensive (they are worth the price of admission. On some engines a properly designed and built tubular manifold can be wroth 30 hp!). Iron is heavy and ugly but does not break and is also quite cheap.
But I digress, you obviously know everything there is about I4 engines and designs, you drive a 340hp/333 ft/lb 4.5L V8, 3800 lb, fuel sipping ecno car. |
yeah, hommie Yeah, I got a nice bonestock V8 that will light up your world like the 4th of july with the VDC switched turned off. And yeah all my mph runs are with the A/C set at 72 degree. And it has 245,000 miles
this isn't a 'size' contest so keep your shorts on.
But the forum is 'wrench smart, drive smarter'. Not drive an eco box because I feel guilty.

well at least I'm consistant!!!!!
First you tell us that there is no difference. (stupid)
AND if you had just read the whole thread you would havebeen at least smart enough to NOT say theres no difference.
THEN, you come back with you (watch me google this and show him) post that infact the header IS different because the turbo boys wantit so desperately.
THEN you make up the reason why!!!!!!!!!!
THank gosh ryland is here to keep you a little bit accountable for the rash of bs you have dumped on this thread.
So yeah...take it personal.....by all means.
and finally, you can tell alot about a poster if you look at the ratio of posts to thank yous in the avitar section....
just sayin.
