custom turbo manifold

im making a turbo manifold for my 90 prelude si and i was wanting to place the turbo flange in front of the 2nd runner to the passenger side. is this ok to do b/c i've seen the drag manifold for the 4th and 5th gen's et-up the same way??? im doing this to clear the alternator but i dont want to hurt performance

thanx

are you making this yourself ? Be cautious when doing this ! You need to TIG weld this manifold not home made or midas brake shop MIG weld. What kind of steel are you using ? You dont want this manifold cracking or even blowing a weld on you.

let me refrase myself. im getting the mani... made from a local welder. yess im getting it tig welded b/c i no from experience that the mig doesnt hold up. i just wanna no it it would be ok for the flange to sit where the 2nd runner to the passenger sits??

your gonna want your turbo postioned at the base of the manifold to allow for maximum flow ! but im gonna assume that this is what your doing just at the bottom by where the 2nd runner is right ?? if that is the case then yeah, i dont see any problom with that, altho im not an expert on the older ludes.

well the setup would work for all cars its just i have the option of tilting the turbo which means tilting the t3 turbo flange which i dont want to do or move it toward the passenger side a little. i no it may mess up the flow but im not sure if it would mess it up that bad??

when it comes to forced induction every little bit helps ! why do you want to position it so oddly ? are you tryin to make room for a/c or something ? because its gonna be hella easier for plumping, exhaust and so forth if you had it planted verticle

im doing so i can clear the alternator. im pretty much making it look exactly like this one on this web site.

cheack it out

WWW.full-race.com I know they have manifolds for B18's they might have some pic's for your application

something tells me that's a pretty crappy design, but we won't know until you get it done and post up about it. usually you want the turbo in the center some place.
