Anyone seen this kit before?

[DKRM]

So I was searching the web for downpipe info for my obx ramhorn and I came across this kit, it looks like its possibly a topmount and it comes with a downpipe for are cb7 chassis. Has anyone else seen these before in use. Does everything fit. this is the only page I could find of it

Interesting...

I've never seen a kit like this for a CB... but I can tell you that I bought a similar kit for my Integra with a downpipe and while it was not perfect, it was close enough that I only had to shorten the downpipe by about 3" and everything fits great!

I found another pic of the manifold

And the bottom half of the downpipe looks identical to the oem piece does it not??

Hmm. Interesting. Im saving the link to my favorites. Im acquirinng parts now for my build. I may try this piece out. If you buy it, check back to the thread and let us know how it is.

Will do, But im debating that header style downpipe, weird. I cant tell how the turbo will fit on top, and im rocking a holset so im not to sure if it will work out, Ive seen some s2000 guys and there pfab top mounts, that look some what similar to this in where the turbo sits and they fit some pretty huge precision turbos... soo maybe

Lol that's funny I've always known about that kit. In fact, thats the only turbo downpipe I know of specifically made for the f22, its the same one I'm using for my build.

[JustSomeGuy]

Did you already buy your kit? if so, hkw does it look in person? Does ot look and feel like a quality piece? do all the flanges matxh up? etc...

[SPLCB7]

I'm curious to see how a top mount setup like this is supposed to be looks installed

[DKRM]

me too, Its really tempting me to buy it just to see even haha. If only I wasn't in Canada and shipping wasn't so iffy. tune depot wont even email me a shipping quote.

I might be buying this in the next year for a CB7 turbo/drag car project. Probably won't be this year but my hands are itching to start a CB project. This kit is a really good find! Even if the quality isn't 100% perfect, should be easy/quick to go over the welds.

The inside of that manifold looks a little rough judging by the second picture posted above. I would suggest doing some porting/gasket matching, at least by hand. There is a grinder bit at Home Depot for around $3 that works like a charm on any drill.

True, but one thing about a company like obx is they have what seems to be poor quality control, the manifold you get may or may not be smooth inside just like welds may or may not break but, as you say rexload it wouldn't be hard to fix just hit it with a die grinder or something. Im waiting on tuning depot for a shipping quote and I think Imma order this Monday, (if shipping isn't super ridiculous)

I've seen OBX kit a couple times on ebay, I'd say it's a gamble, but it's probably worth taking- around $200+shipping, will work with a basic T3 turbo and 38mm wastegate, bolts to the stock exhaust, can be easily modified to be stronger and work more efficiently.
