I have made two threads over on Honda-tech.com about building a turbo manifold for the R18 and it should be the cheapest manifold to produce in terms of how much time would go into making one and products used because it should simply be a head flange and an intermediate pipe to a turbo flange. We are very lucky in this department, but now we need someone to BUILD this manifold, and we need to get started on looking for some sort of engine management system.

You'll need more than a manifold...you'll need a head since the manifold is built in the head. It's one piecw.
Civic: Exhaust System
"The Civic is equipped with a stainless steel, low heat-mass exhaust system integrated into the cylinder head that eliminates the need for a separate exhaust manifold, contributing to the engine's compact design and light weight. The system employs a high-density catalytic converter for improved light-off performance and reduced hydrocarbons and NOx. For emissions performance, the exhaust manifold is positioned on the front of the engine-which shortens the distance that the exhaust gases must travel to the catalytic converter, resulting in faster light-off and more complete conversion of the exhaust gases."
