the long awaited UPDATED cx racing turbo kit log/review!

fyi... honda consolidated the different part numbers into one, so you may have to modify the kw adapter to fit with the new key orientation on the new oem pulley. its apparently a 50/50 shot.

Contacted them and they said it's interchangeable, as suspected. And ordered it.
What manifold studs did you go with? I bought some 38mm ARP's but feel 45mm may be more appropriate, as you mentioned 51mm was too long.
thanks for your insight!
PS: I drove down the guy who bought your old SSM once-f24'd track car.

Yeah 51mm were too long for 2 spots, i ended up using a mix of the 51mm and the 45mm and even 1 oem one since i couldnt fit either the ARP ones
my advice is figure out which studs you can install on the manifold to turbine part, the bolts they supply suck to install, i should have done studs there but didnt think about it until it was too late. if i ever pull the turbo off i'll swap to studs.

Hoping the downpipe clears everything since the turbo off the manifold will wind up being extended 1/2" or so, and still bolts to the rest of the exhaust... :|

I got this manifold in. It is about 17lbs. Messaged my fab guy regarding adding some welds over these...
"That's a China manifold
Ohhh realllyyy
Yes
That was welded once then they go back over it with high frequency pulse which give it that look
I dont kniw what any of that means
Know*
Lol. It's a horrible process
Really? Not strong?
It's not the greatest. It's not back purged the welds never really penetrate
I see
It's made to look like a good weld..its comparable to a shemale could fool you and might get a surprise later"
I called CXracing and asked them why the welds were incomplete, and they said that was just normal. See pics attached.
I am sending it back... -shrug-
