what to do..

[rickles8099]

i would like it to eventually run 13s

It will cost alot more to run 13s with a B then a D

like i said

sell the b18 and get an a6, z6, ac, or y8 and then swap one of said motors into car. buy a clutch and flywheel and then piece together a homemade turbo kit. you can have that car running high 13's for under $2000

been there and done it.

Just backing you up sir, you should know I have tried the B thing and realized the errors of my ways

What makes building a B cost more than building a D series?

What makes building a B cost more than building a D series?

just the price of a turbo exhaust manifold is a lot....
d series =stock hf manifold = anywhere from $50 - free (in her case its free because she already has one.
b series = $200ish if youre lucky on up to $1000+

the price of swapping in a b (mounts, cost of motor, tranny, labor)

clutch for a b is more expensive

stock manifold? how does that work?

[Waffles]

you can use an HF or STD manifold and an adapter plate, I am sure ric has a pic of the setup

i guess they just flip it upside down on the exhaust side :dunno:

you can use a stock hf manifold and either make or buy an adaptor plate to fit the turbo up to the exhaust manifold. adaptor plates cost anywhere from free - $50.

next time you see budget_crx or stolle, take a look at their crx's. he has a hf manifold in his car. i also have pictures of my old hf setup on my cardomain page
