Hey guys I have a few doubts on this mainfold, my first question is with the use of this manifold can I keep my A/C? The turbo I plan on using is a .48 Stage 2/ .60. Thanks for the help:TU:

Forgot to add that I have D16Z6 ;)

I don't reccomend using anything with the name OBX on it based on their horrible repputation.

Don't short yourself, especially with an exhaust manifold. It's just a little important. If you want the cheap easy way that works, get a cx/vx manifold and weld a different flange on. And hey, what a coincidence, I have one in my garage for sale!

It's that garbage? I was planning on using only for a few months to recover some money, and possibly due a B20 swap or buy a D-series full race.

i would'nt use anything obx that has to do with weilds at least.....heard the weilds crack after a while...i have to admit that i do have something obx on my car....a cam gear but it works perfectly fine....nothing like a manifold

a cx/vx manifold would be a much safer route to go....just port it a bit and it should be good to go....i got one laying in garage i think i would sell if u are interested:D

i would use the manifold for my turbo i am gonna put in but the turbo is not internally waste gated so i got to get a new manifold...unless there is some way i can jimmy rig it on the mani...but i dont think there is
