Power steering and air condition modification for turbo???

[xxBLOOD88SHOTxx]

so you'd just buy a box of pre bent pipes and hope?

i'm owned by a 2 into 1 exhaust that clearly is not equal length.

you buy a manidold kit....

also that is a manifold for a rotary engine

you might as well get a cast manifold instead of that thing.

and yes i know it's for a rotary. but still 2 into 1 is not hard and it could have been done in a way to make them at least closer to equal.

Have you asked youself why equal length matters on a non divided scroll? It really doesnt, especially on a tubular manifold of that length. Scavenging effect isnt really an issue on a boosted application where there is typically no overlap between the lobes. Now on a high boost, twin scroll setup you will see a good increase in spool time by matching the firing order to each side of the divided collector. So you have two cylinders both on the exhaust stroke feeding one side and then the other two on the other side. It also helps control boost creep.

You might as well get a cast manifold if you dont want to choose where the flange is, or where the wastegate is placed.

I will say, a good cast manifold(like inlinepro or goautworks) will help with spool time and probably not crack for a long time, but it will at some point.

That treadstone one is expensive as f***, and I threw it up there for a reference to the pipe bending comment. A competant welder probably knows where to get the exact same stuff at a fraction of the price.

U dont just hope they fit. You cut and fit them how u need.

And also a rotary doesnt need equal lengths. They fire twice per rotor per revolution so runner length isnt as important.

if the intercooler piping is the problem maybe use a radiator like the one in this kit.

I have decided that I am just going to get a log manifold. I am thinking about spending an extra grand on a kit from go auto works too. I want this to last. It's a big investment. I could weld up my own manifold but I don't want to piss around with a bender and i would need good blueprints to work from.

U dont need a f**king bender...

They really just don't listen anymore do they.......f**king kids

the main thing that makes a turbo kit ac friendly is:
1. the wastegate placement, theres no room to have a wastegate pointing to the front of the car with an ac condenser radiator so log and cast manifolds have the wastegate on top of the manifold instead of the front
2. turbine placement, usually with ac kits the compressor is on the passenger side and turbine is on the driver side leaving about 3 3/4 inches between the turbo exhaust and ac compressor

check this out if you want to build your own manifold, the kit has the exact amount of bends you need to make your manifolds

Are these kits for the b16a?

i know they deal with hondas and acuras so i know they make a b and d series flange, im sure all you do is tell them which flange you want when you order

Cool.
It would be fun to weld up my own manifold.

I've been test driving some Hondas latley and I'm tired of this no power steering s**t. What is this??? Is this some teenagers idea of adding more hp? Hillbilly s**t.

It's common sense. If it's belt driven, it's going to rob HP. Take the component away that is robbing that HP and you will get it back. Plus depending on how heavy the components are, there is a possibility that you are shaving weight. Epecially on a d-series where they need all they can get.

Not saying you gain a ton of HP but if it comes down to numbers, winning at the drag strip or track (if that's your thing) can mean the difference of miliseconds.

Doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile......

honestly power steering is only really helpful at less than 5mph or if you're in a large vehicle.
