oK, First off to the people who say you can not DD a FF manifold you need to check again.. I dd my AWD FF 6262 kit for the 1 and 1/2 weeks i drove my car.

Second off, there's a solution to keeping A/c.. Use a Civic Condenser with modified Lines

Anywho this is a Quote Paragrah Straight from Shearer about this manifold.

Shearer,
The manifold will be just like the rest of ours. well built and it'll perform.

If there is enough interest I can build an o2 housing to go along with it as well. Can make a 2.5" version that will work with a stock style downpipe or a 3" style that will work with our turbo kit downpipe. I'd prefer to do the 2.5" stock style since there isn't much to be gained using a 3" o2 housing

THE PICTURE PROVED, Is a Example of the Quality of this manifold. This Manifold will resemble the same design of a Buschur FF Manifold but instead be able to use a Stock Apearing Turbo.

Forgive my ignorance here, but what benefit does the forward facing turbo provide other than just looking baller (which it does very well)?

I spoke with Shearer about this months ago. I'd be interested pending results. I'd jump in on this now. But Mona isn't exactly moving off the shelves and I would need ot retain AC. Is there any word Shearer if you can retain AC?

Thinking more and more about it I may be interested in the first run. I have to pull my head of my car and verify if its all bad or if its just the head.

This would really need to be made as a kit.. it will need custom downpipe, lines and fittings, no A/C and 1/2 size radiator.. Would be a sick setup but i think will sell better as a kit since most people arent going to figure it all out on their own..

^ Yes im talkin to him right now about making a entire kit..

Including custom down pipe, lines, fitings, (NO OEM A/C Condensor), Custom LICP, Manifold, and O2 housing.

1/2 size radiator there are many options.
