SpeedFactory Racing Turbo Manifolds & Performance Exhaust Components
Honda & Acura Turbo Manifolds for Racing Applications
SpeedFactory Racing offers turbo exhaust manifolds and performance exhaust components for Honda and Acura racing applications, including B-Series, D-Series, K-Series, and Honda S2000 engine platforms.
Our lineup includes Mini-Ram, bottom-mount, top-mount, Sidewinder, and forward-facing turbo manifolds, as well as performance mufflers and stainless steel exhaust piping.
Choosing the correct turbo manifold is an important part of planning a turbocharged engine combination. Manifold configuration affects turbocharger location, exhaust routing, wastegate placement, and available clearance around surrounding components.
B-Series & D-Series Turbo Manifolds
SpeedFactory Racing offers several turbo manifold configurations for Honda B-Series and D-Series engines.
Mini-Ram Turbo Manifolds
The SpeedFactory Racing Mini-Ram Turbo Manifold offers a compact configuration for supported B-Series and D-Series applications. This design can be useful where installation space and turbocharger positioning are important considerations.
Bottom-Mount Turbo Manifolds
SpeedFactory Racing B/D-Series Bottom Mount Turbo Manifolds offer an alternative turbocharger placement for compatible Honda and Acura applications.
Bottom-mount configurations may be suitable for builds where turbo location, exhaust routing, and component clearance favor a lower mounting position.
Top-Mount Turbo Manifolds
SpeedFactory Racing also offers top-mount turbo manifolds for selected Honda racing applications.
Top-mount configurations can provide additional flexibility when designing custom turbo systems, but installation requirements depend on turbocharger dimensions, chassis configuration, and surrounding components.
K-Series Sidewinder & Top-Mount Turbo Manifolds
SpeedFactory Racing offers several manifold designs for turbocharged Honda K-Series engines.
K-Series Sidewinder Turbo Manifolds
Sidewinder manifolds position the turbocharger according to a specialized manifold layout that can be useful for particular engine bay configurations and high-performance turbocharger setups.
K-Series Lean Top-Mount Turbo Manifolds
The SpeedFactory Racing K-Series Lean Top Mount Turbo Manifold provides an additional mounting configuration for compatible K-Series turbo builds.
K-Series Engine-Swap Turbo Manifolds
For K-swapped EG, EK, and DC chassis applications, SpeedFactory Racing offers dedicated top-mount turbo manifolds.
Available configurations include options designed for smaller and medium-frame turbochargers, along with versions intended for larger turbocharger frames.
Selecting the correct manifold requires verifying the engine and chassis combination, turbocharger size, mounting flange, and available installation clearance.
Forward-Facing B-Series Outlaw Turbo Manifolds
SpeedFactory Racing offers the Forward Facing B-Series Outlaw Turbo Manifold for specialized Honda drag racing applications.
Forward-facing configurations are commonly considered for purpose-built racing vehicles where the turbocharger and associated exhaust components are packaged around a competition-focused engine bay.
These applications often involve custom intake plumbing, exhaust fabrication, heat management, and other supporting modifications.
Before selecting a forward-facing manifold, confirm turbocharger fitment, chassis clearance, wastegate configuration, and the installation requirements of the complete turbo system.
Honda S2000 Sidewinder Turbo Manifolds
SpeedFactory Racing also offers a Sidewinder Turbo Manifold for Honda S2000 applications.
Turbocharging an S2000 requires careful consideration of engine bay packaging, exhaust routing, heat management, and compatibility with the intended turbocharger.
Review the individual manifold specifications and vehicle requirements before ordering.
Choosing the Right Turbo Manifold
When comparing turbo manifolds for a Honda or Acura performance build, consider the complete engine and turbocharger combination rather than selecting solely by manifold appearance.
Important factors include:
- Engine platform and chassis compatibility
- Turbocharger frame size and mounting flange
- Top-mount, bottom-mount, Sidewinder, or forward-facing configuration
- Wastegate placement and exhaust routing
- Available space for intercooler piping and intake components
- Heat management and surrounding component clearance
- Intended racing application and fabrication requirements
A manifold's design is one part of the complete turbo system. Actual engine performance depends on turbocharger selection, engine configuration, fuel system, tuning, and numerous other supporting components.
SpeedFactory Racing Performance Mufflers & Exhaust Piping
In addition to turbo manifolds, SpeedFactory Racing offers performance exhaust components for custom vehicle and motorsports applications.
Available products include the SpeedFactory Racing Street Spec Muffler, LT-5 Race Muffler, and 3-inch stainless steel mandrel-bent cat-back exhaust piping kit.
When selecting exhaust components, consider tubing diameter, sound characteristics, fitment, available installation space, and the requirements of the intended application.
Performance exhaust modifications may be subject to emissions and noise restrictions, including limitations on use on public roads.
Frequently Asked Questions About Honda Turbo Manifolds
What is the difference between a top-mount and bottom-mount turbo manifold?
The primary difference is turbocharger positioning relative to the engine. Each configuration presents different installation, clearance, exhaust routing, and heat-management considerations. The appropriate choice depends on the vehicle and turbo system.
What is a Sidewinder turbo manifold?
A Sidewinder turbo manifold uses a particular exhaust runner and turbo mounting arrangement to position the turbocharger within the engine bay. Fitment and packaging benefits vary by engine, chassis, and manifold design.
Which turbo manifold should I use for a Honda B-Series engine?
The correct manifold depends on the specific B-Series engine, vehicle chassis, turbocharger frame size, wastegate configuration, and intended application. SpeedFactory offers Mini-Ram, bottom-mount, top-mount, and forward-facing configurations for selected applications.
Do SpeedFactory Racing manifolds fit K-swapped Civics and Integras?
SpeedFactory offers dedicated K-Series swap turbo manifolds for selected EG, EK, and DC chassis applications. Compatibility depends on the specific swap configuration, turbocharger size, and installation clearances.
Can I install any turbocharger on a SpeedFactory manifold?
No. Turbocharger compatibility depends on mounting flange specifications, turbocharger dimensions, compressor and turbine housing orientation, and available clearance. Always check the individual manifold's specifications before ordering.
Are SpeedFactory Racing turbo manifolds legal for street use?
SpeedFactory Racing sells these performance components for off-road and racing use. Street legality depends on applicable emissions and equipment regulations, and racing-use products should not be assumed legal for public-road operation.
