dnt laugh, but im torn between BWR top mount t3 single sroll
and
full-race

or possibly the t4 twin scroll from either companies...
Why would anyone laugh at the BWR or full-race? They are decent kits.

Looking good boys. Nice and simple setups and throwing down nice times. Good stuff.

Manifold should be front mount if you are serious about drag racing and not going to drive it on the street. Top mount is not the way.
Yes mate finally allowed it! So much better although my tyres rub on the wings when braking which I need to sort. Need to jack it up a bit more at the rear although my coilovers are wound right up..

Why a front mount manifold? With the amount of cars running 8-9 second 1/4's with top mount manifolds I dont think there is an issue there..

What power are you running to hit the times in your signature mate?

Thanks
Matt

Theres two reasons. Simplicity of exhaust and reduction of bends on the intake. Both designs can make use of long runners to avoid issues like cylinder cross contamination, etc. I guess it is more of my preference from experience.

Times in the signature, 10.51 was approx 500whp (98 Civic). 10.912 was approx 400whp (90 Civic lighter car). Both times the car was dynoed but the tunes were tweaked at the track a little. The difference was I was doing it on a single cam 1.6L with stock sleeves so I was always afraid to push it, even tho, looking back, I was pushing it harder and further than anyone else at the time.

Yes mate bigger and better, the shell is rotten so will build it properly this time.
This one was just a budget street build really for a laugh, so will look at building a bigger one over the next year or so..

Cheers
