I was wondering if anyone on here would know if this would fit a 03 Acura TL? I was thinking that it would but then i dont know if there would be a problem with clearance in the bay. Does anyone know?

Headers.
Yes, they should fit an 03, however you dont want to skimp on quality with headers.
You need a perfect fitment or else you will have resonance and annoying vibrating/shaking sounds, as well as an exhaust leak.

Even the higher end brand names of headers are prone to cracking, so I can only imagine cheaper and lower quality.

Stick to DC, Comptech, xs, etc.

 

Yea i know OBX makes the same manifold i just wanted to know if anyone on here was running boost on their TL? And if they have used something similar to this? Please any help would help thanks guys.

 

Yes, a few people on the third gen side are boosted, but there is no turbo for us second gens. Only superchargers.

 

^has no clue what he's talking about.


This is how turbo mani's work w/ the j series motor.
Pic came from a turbo v6 accord (6g) on other forum.

Figure it out, not too hard.

 

you can turbo any car if you really wanted too. not that hard

 

Did you even click the link he posted? Its a TURBO MANIFOLD, Not a header!

 

I guess not...
Never heard of anything like this. I guess you learn something new everyday.

 

vrrooooomm ppsssshhhhhh

 

You need to hang out at the 2g CL side
You can dig up quite a few turbo builds.

 

I guess so...Needa come outta the 2nd gen cave.

 

LOL so this would be a manifold that would fit the 2nd gen TL with no clearance issues?

 

I'm gonna plead the fifth on this one.

 

Ebay one hangs too low to the ground and quality prolly sucks. If you do custom piping + weld it together, you'd have a better setup.

 

yea i know i was thinking getting a OBX manifold with the headers manifold, downpipe, y pipe etc., and having the piping for the inercooler custom made with a good qauality turbo, wastegate, injectors, BOV, etc.

 

my turbo manifold. its on hold right now bc of some legal shit i have to take care off
one of manifold


4"wide intercooler, 3"inlets and outlets, 3"pipes

 

talk about lag reduction!

 

hahaha. im gonna spray the shit out of it also, u can see the foggers in the intake manifold spacer

 

sick as fcuk!!

 

i think 01tlon19's was turbo'd at one time too. there have been a few guys.


wasn't austin's (the guy with all the diy's in his cardomain) tl boosted with turbo?

 

he's supercharged. i followed his diy lul

 

haha, thanks i knew he was running some kind of f/i, but wasn't sure if he was turbo or s/c

now that i think of it, i think the guy's name was blacktlon19's that at one point was turbo

 

Question... why don't you have an intercooler with both inlets and outlets on one side to reduce piping?

Also, I like the turbine setup. What's the compressor/snail/turbine combo you used?

 

Intercooler is one way in and out way other so it can maximize the effect of cooling. As shown in diagram #2, the left side of the intercooler would be ineffective and useless since air enters and exit from the right side only.

 

i wanted an intercooler with one side inlet/outlet but didnt find anything that would fit. most of them were 3" thick with 2.2-2.75 inlets/outlets. i wanted 4" thick and 3" inlets/outlets so i made this work. hopefully it will be good for the amount of psi i want to throw at it

 

that's a big intercooler, shit looks like a bullet wouldnt even be able to penetrate.

 

:rolf: and I want to go taller

 

Whats the trim on your set-up and psi you plan or runnin? Where did you get your pipping and manifold from? Any helpful info would be appriciated thanks.

 

Don't remember the trim. Its a hx35w turbo found on dodge cumming 5.9l diesel engines. Piping is all custom. Trial and error the whole way their. Mid to high teens

 

that looks just amazing. I wish I had the money to do shit like that.

That shits gunna be fast.

Id love to see a dyno and a timeslip after you are done.

 

i ran into some problems with the law, so ummm. every project is on hold till i get this solved

 

HOLY SEXY HOLSET!

My front bumper's already modded to fit an intercooler in there...just in case I start getting power hungry I may add a little something something.

 

if u finish ur build already, you can outrun the cops.

 

thx.

i know. but wont do me any good if they got my plates already. and teh numbers game always screws me over

there ya go

 

Hmmmm. Interesting. I'm gonna look into that

 

can't outrun a radio...

 

That plate is really sick. Hows that done?

 

no clue, never looked into it.

I had a hide away plate for the front, but it didnt flow well with the car.

Id love to do that to my back plate tho.

 

Id love to finish the build. But have to get ready and save for court, lawyer and ticket fees. So unfortunatlly the build is on hold. And I was gonna have my block sleeved in a few weeks. Well moneys going to something else now
