I'm not too happy with the manifold I have, so I decided to use the sinktrap idea to make the best out of it without spending anything. I had problems when I was installing my HX35; first off the wastegate flange hit the turbine housing, then the manifold put the turbo too low and the compressor housing was hitting my cross member, and lastly the drain flange sits too low and I don't want to risk a brand new HX35.

materials used: 3" stainless 180, 2x T3 flange

That's awesome, and definitely the most baller sink trap I've ever seen

I had the same problem. The turbo was hitting the crossmember on my teg. I heat it with a torch and hit it with a 2lbs hammer. The oil drain still low tho, but it works well.

Nice idea I can use my header to make ghetto top mount for one of my T04b(s-trim) and clear my sc14 for a twhincharged D16z6.

This is why love RHMT for the low budget tech. ;D

i want to do a sink trap really bad for a budget build. keep us updated

Good post!

This should be in the fab section Noob.

Like this:

I did something like that, but added a big hammer to the heat, and smashed it out kinda flat. Seems like on Brine04's teg we cut out the back part and welded in a support kinda like c notching a frame.

If you can make a sinktrap extension, you should be able to make a tubular x-member replacement like innovative mounts makes or box it out with steel plate. BTW I have the same shoes.

At least you won't be hiding such a badass turbo now. Are you making a 4" DP, or a 3" to fit with the stock rad fan??

sell me the HX35
problem solved :yes:

4", the worst part is I just bought a ss thermal 3" exhaust for 90 bucks, so it's going to be the bottle neck for high boost pulls. oh well

yeah I wish I could make a split pulse manifold.. has anyone even tested a split pulse setup against a regular on a holset setup?

the big 16g guys swear by it.

+1 I want use the top half of my header.

I'm debating if should just have it made in mild or stainless.

Probably mild I'm on a super tight budget.

marcj · « **Reply #19 on:** March 10, 2009, 07:28:07 PM »

got a new toy today.. ;D

made some angle cuts so the ends match up right.. essentially you want to put the flange between #1 and #2. it's close enough for me. I'm waiting on my T3 flange to get here, and still need to level off the top

walter · « **Reply #20 on:** March 10, 2009, 07:35:05 PM »

brace it..

marcj · « **Reply #21 on:** March 10, 2009, 07:44:34 PM »

i planned on it.. what would you suggest the best place would be? I was thinking from the T3 flange at the collector straight out.. I know an X would be ideal

HiProfile · « **Reply #22 on:** March 13, 2009, 02:45:40 AM »

I'd brace it down below to the AC/mount holes, then maybe have a tab that catches the top of the T3 flange on the manifold. Adding that tab would make removing it a bit tricky tho. A nice thick chunk of steel to the AC bracket would probably work fine, just make sure it's mostly on the 2nd half of he bend -- the elbow half that goes to the turbo. I'd actually shorten both legs on the whole extension, which would allow for a better angle for the brace.

in for the updates

looks good. i would just brace it off the t3 flange

I'll have to swing by once i'm done with my revisions to show off my 11 second 1.6L

Evans Performance · « **Reply #25 on:** March 14, 2009, 07:42:26 AM »

hell yea man, let me know. i just finished throwing my civic together cause my M3 took a dump. it made 310whp @15psi with a stock cam z6.

do you need someone to weld that thing together or do you have a welder? i have a tig welder showing up here wednesday and need some shit to test it on. that giantech guy gave me a nignog deal in trade for a good writeup

CSaddict · « **Reply #26 on:** March 14, 2009, 10:46:53 AM »

I ran a Mini ram and a 3" dp with a stock crossmember in my CRX.
