The V2 was my first turbo-friendly design for the popular RBC/ RBB cylinder head. A very popular option, but as the industry has grown and new companies have come out with exhaust manifolds with more exaggerated turbo placement, as well as the turbos themselves getting bigger and bigger, it's no longer a one-size-fits-all scenario.

V2 moves the pot forward of the outlet port on the flange, resulting in an improvement in clearance with a number of early sidewinder turbo manifolds and smaller turbo combos over the V1 RBB/ RBC variant.

My swirl pots start with a billet flange that has been CNC machined in the USA using US-milled and certified 6061-T6 aluminum. The flange started life with a -16 ORB outlet port that has been opened up slightly to receive the 1.25" transfer tube that connects it to the swirl pot. The flange also has a 1/2" NPT heater out port.

The hardware kit includes four M8 socket head bolts, a 90° heater hose fitting, a 1/2" NPT plug, an EGR passage plug, and a pair of o-rings. The swirl pot is welded so it sits level when bolted to an engine leaned back 15° (OEM option) or leaned forward 8° (Gangster Lean engine mount option).

The space between the swirl pot and the flange makes the two forward-most mounting bolts a challenge to reach without the right tools. If you don't already own one, you may want to add a 6mm Stubby L-Key.

NOTE: Made to Order - Contact for ETA - If you are interested in a specific design that varies from this, please email us at sales@tractuff.com. The V2 swirl pot DOES NOT natively fit/ work with the EURO R or TSX type transmission.

The OEM wire harness and heater hard line will not work with this product. The bulk of the wire harness must be reduced or moved, and the heater hard pipe needs to be cut or replaced by my Thermostat Housing Port Adapter. The cap bung has a 1/16" NPT port for connection to an overflow and uses early-model Honda radiator caps, such as those found on an 88'-91' Civic/ CRX or 90'-93' Integra.
