Default DSM downpipe fit honda....??
i just got a hf manifold with about a 1" adapter plate and a stock 1g dsm turbo...my question is if a stock dsm down pipe will fit on the car with no problem or does it need to be modified...i plan on using a 16g turbo with the set up i plan on doing

IMHO any mitsu turbo sucks on a Honda.

The downpipe may need to be modified to fit properly. At the very least, you should be able to use the flange, and part of the downpipe to create your own.

If integras dont have crossmembers it shouldnt be a problem.I ran a mitsu turbo and it worked really well for me.

yeah its not going to be done for a while but im doing this size turbo on a small 1.6 sohc vtec motor (z6) and im pretty sure ill be happy with the turn out...i figured with a 16g a stock down pipe would work pretty good

I dont remember where I saw it, but it was like a F22 or d15 with a dsm manifold and turbo. I believe it will fit a b series.

Mitsu turbos have NEVER worked properly IMHO on a Honda. I've seen about 10 of them running around. From t25's to 20G's. they never produce the power that a DSM does. Even at higher boost settings. For some reason DSM (mitsu) turbos do not like Honda heads. I cannot say for lack of proof why. it's just how it works. Look at the GReedy kits. Even at 15psi, they do NOT break 300whp.
260whp from an 18G at 11psi on a stock B16 just isn't something I like to see.

Have you ever used/tuned/installed a DSM turbo on a D/B/H series motor?
