New Turbo Mani for D's Keep A/C and PS!
I know this is a Turbo issue, but it's also a D series issue, and i've seen some turbo related stuff on here. Can someone give me any sugestions?
It's a new design and I'm able to keep both A/C and Power Steering. Anyone heard from them, I got it from www.treadstoneperformance.com here's the direct link
http://www.treadstoneperformance.com...Turbo+Manifold
Also if possible I'd like to know if the price seems right --> $269.95/ea

cant really screw up a cast manifold too much. as long as the wastegate position is good it should be fine.

Snoopy got it.
But for that price, you can get a custom made one that is able to keep A/C and have the W/G in the center.

See that's the problem, I don't think there's anyone around here that is competent enough to do that. Any tuners that you guys know who might be able to pull this off? I'm in the NJ area.

I wouldn't want the headache of going custom if a similar quality item is available right off the shelf for comparable prices. However I've never heard of these guys before, but I haven't been researching turbo stuff in a while either. Treadstone... Wasn't that from the Bourne Identity? |

I'll see if I can't find the link for you. There is a shop that you can contact. Tell them your model, year, keeping A/C or not, what size turbo, if you want a log or ram horn. They will let you know how much it will be and make it up for you. I THINK you have to join the forum in order to get the low price for it. They do great quality work. I believe one of their manifolds are on a 500+ D-series civic, now.

Yup, lovefab does great work. They started out making budget manifolds on honda-tech. Guy just did it in his spare time. Then they got popular and he was selling them, and eventually it took off into a business. Prices have gone up a lot though. Old d-series logs used to go for about $200-250. Gave people a good alternative to the overpriced full-race manifolds. |

Hm, I'll have to look into them. His work looks REALLY nice.
I love to hear good things like that happen to people. Starting off small and going HUGE, thats always a good thing!

yes that was treadstone, I know for a fact that Jason Bourne makes those manifolds in his spare time when he's not trying to find his identity...
and kommon is correct on that, lovefab is good quality stuff

I think I may have found a good candidate, how's this one, is not cast but uses tubes and it has the Waste Gate towards the center, that I can see it's not in the center quite yet. or am I blind?
The company is called Spooling Performance
Website: http://www.spoolinperformance.com/
Price is $300 (so pretty much stepping it up 30 bucks more)
I'm sure more than | |
