turboing b18c2???

[Limbo]

yeah usually Full Ram/Ramhorn, tubular have been what i have heard them called.
there are mini Ramhorns also, which is supose to be an in between with aspecs of both the full lenth & log manifolds

ZeForce why u selling urs??? dun tell me you've given up boosting now

one quick questions... How big was the improvment from changing from the log manifold to your banana manifold? I would love a banana manifold as i belive it would be more efficient, But some budgeting may mean i can only get a blox log manifold....

So is the extra money worth the amount of power it frees up?

Cheers

its hard to comment on the manifold differences, as i changed complete setup................
from log manifold with t28 and internal gate
to full race manifold with gt30 and external gate

the response between the 2 setups were the same, however the full race manifold and gt30 were able to push power through the top end a lot better.........

check comparison dyno graphs..........

damn that is a LOT more top end power, did you get the full-race kit or just the manifold?

just full race manifold and pieced the rest together myself..............

nah, Im looking into fabricating my own manifold which will be a similar design to that mini-ram you mentioned...





EDIT: also, here's a decent manifold comparison ---> http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=925312

coolies, i'll see if i got a pic of a better miniram, is slighly longer to give better flow.
You normally want slightly lower merge to get a smooth merge of the 4 pipes

Thats true but then the turbo will be too low and the level of oil drainage line becomes an issue. Also, Im trying to make it a direct replacement for my ramhorn without modifying downpipe, oil lines, etc

Great info.... Another Q....

People running boosted DC2's, are you using half radiators? Or just slimline fans on OEM radiator?

[DLO01]

Both. It really depends on your setup. Manifold, WG placement, turbo placement and size. Sometimes you can get away with putting your Fan on the other side so its Pushing air through the radiator. Leaves you more space on the other side. Some manifolds have the external WG pokeing toward the radiator, so you need a Half size rad. Really depends on many factors. I was running a half size rad with slim fan pushing, but the stock full size rad would have fitted too.

as deanno said..............

but im running stock oem radiator with slim line thermo in the standard position...........its a tight fit, but it fits and works.......

[VTi_b0i]

im running the normal oem fan... fits fine...

[lookingforboost]

lot the power loss through a log style manifold is because there is no continous flow and no real collector for the gases to be directed to, i will take a pic of my collector soon as i am doing a turbo upgrade and putting on an external gate, my mate makes manifolds so me and him are doing mine.

i fit the stock fan fine, but i want to put a slim line one just to tidy up the engine bay
