GOING TO BOOST SOON!! BUT HAVE SOME ??'s

Hey guys!
Picked up a small t3 turbo yesterday. I want to keep my a/c and p/s but dont know what manifold to get. Here are some pics of the turbo:







An HF manifold? Custom one by Greg at autoworks?? Trying to keep it cheap and i'm counting on you guys! Haha

Another thing, do you guys think i can fit this in without any problems? I expect minor ones but i mean major problems (not fitting or something)
Thanks in advance

You can probably search this forum
honda-tech
superhonda
even google
and find the answer to your turbo mani question
Just try a search for future reference

but you should be able to keep p/s no problem
a/c would be an iffy story
depends on your manifold and such
hence your questionLol

you do know the other parts you will need to safely turbo your car correct?

HF mani w/ adapter should be cheapest and easiest or just get a little log type mani if your looking for a mild budget build.

homemadeturbo & turbod16 .com are probably your best bet for researching. However, between all of us, you will get all your questions answered FOR SURE.

A/C compatible mani's aren't cheap. I was looking into them and they can get up there. There are a few out there though. Like Brad said, the HF might be the least expensive way. bigthumbup

Cardr - yeah i did post on turbod16

I checked and tried researching on homemadeturbo.com forums, but man their assholes over there. Just cause i asked a simple question. I'm glad ej8squad isnt like that. And1

boosted ej8 -- yup i know the essentials. Got a couple friends with boosted Honda's. One is a t3/t4 y8 that runs 13.1's, and my other friend has a h23 t3/t4 hatch.

I'd run an HF manifold, you'll be able to keep your AC/PS for sure and they only run for around $30, but I've seen them for cheaper and painted as well bigthumbup.

Sweeet! Man you guys are soo much better than HMT forums.

I ordered my manifold and hopefully by the end of this week it'll come in. Running a small t3 .42/.48 Woot (now thats a small turbo) But for being a high school student, i dont need much and i'll be damn happy to run a low 14 and pretty stoked to put this together! Think a low 14 is possible on this? I know many dont like to hear that question, but hearing it sounds good. Haha
