I want YOUR GUY's personal opinions here. If you had the chance to build your own turbo manifold (DSM Inlet flange - $17, Exhaust Flange - Free - Cut out on a Computer controlled plasma cutter), or simply pay $50-80 for a DSM manifold and drill it, what would you do? The manifold I would build would be a log style, most likely. Which do YOU think would flow better? A log style, or the DSM?

THE dsm manifold flows worlds better than any log style one. IT also is very reliable (2g are more reliable and flow a bit better). Just port it a bit and you are good to go.
For the time and effort of building a mediocre log style (which flows way worse), you are much better off DSM style.Comment

Well, I just found a 1g manifold for $20 plus shipping. I figure if it has any cracks, I'll just get some cast iron welding sticks and weld it up.Originally posted by sweet91accordComment

if you can weld cast...all the power to ya.
I found my 2g one with no cracks for $50 shipped. Pretty good.
and as for the "redrilling" i found that some were close that you can Drill them so to speak (unless you have a cnc or something). I used a dye grinder and matched the F22 exhaust gasket. For another upgrade, port matching the DSM manifold to the f22 head would be good too. it's off by about 1/8".

I am going n/a for the moment, but just to tide me over. After I finish this project (and my summer surprise), the N/A setup will be transfered over to my friends Accord.Originally posted by sweet91accordComment

Here is a pic of the manifold. Seems to be ok (at least on this side...who knows what horror stories the other side might hold...).

If you are going to make your own manifold, why settle for a log style?Comment

I would do the log style only because my fab skills aren't the greatest...either way, I got my DSM manifold on the way.Originally posted by sweet91accordComment
