Turbo Manifolds - log style

[BlitZ]

I know for a turbo manifold, you would want tuned length runners..

however i have noticed some log manifold look quiet horrible in runner length design...

I have been looking at the older OEM D series log manifold which people use to turbo.. and am wondering why it couldnt be done to the b series log..

regards,
dan.

the runners on log manifolds are designed for neat packaging more than anything...the shorter uneven runners can sometimes help spool but will cost power compared to an equal length mani.

I know of an integra which ran 11's using a chopped up stock manifold, however it also needed running repairs on that manifold every few months and in the end it was binned.

was this a bseries log? or d series log?

It was a B series, sorry should have made that clear

thats the first ive heard of using the Bseries cast manifold..

Why cant it be used straight with an adaptor plate like what they do with the D series.. is there any reason why it needs to be chopped...

not sure mate, i never got a very good look at what they did and why they did it. How far down is the flange on a stock B series manifold?

about halfway off the block itself. But its 2 secondaries ~ which must be chopped or modded to fit a turbo inlet.
The D series one spoken of , was a 4-1 design and had quite short primaries. Look at the AUDM EK1 for a similar design (4-1)
