bulit ls block b16 head with a little work done to it and dont know witch im i should use any ideas

dpetro1

whats the rest of the setup? power goal? are you going for peak hp or more of a mid-range powerband? what is your budget?

kinda hard to answer without more details.

b18 hatch mike

well i got a sc61 turbo peakboost ramhorn 38 mm wastegate 81.5 ls block eagle rods cp pistons 3 inch turbo back exhaust b16 head with supertech valve springs and retainers and want to make like 400hp

turbo sounds way too big for a 400hp goal...with that being said you can make 400 on that turbo with ease on a stock b16 intake manifold.

ok that`s not what i asked i know this i am asking with manifold is the best to make power with that flows best i was thinking a cheap blox or a victor x unless someone else has a different one in mind

b18 hatch mike

not even a 100% sure the turbo is a sc61 thats what i was told when i bought it it has a 60 cold side and 63 hot side

narfdanarf

you ask a vague *** question...you want the best that is overkill for your setup or do you want a cheap *** blox, if you want something cheap a b16 manifold will support your goals, if you want to buy a manifold just because get a victorX, if you want something awesome, you can look into the kinsler or wilson manifolds.

b18 hatch mike

well i dont have one at all now so i just want what is best for my setup i dont know what is overkill thats why i ask and those mesurements i gave dose that sound like a sc61

just run a blox for 400whp its a good all around manifold gives great driveability and power. the victor is ment for high reving big turbo and power applications

dpetro1

it sounds like you are describing the a/r not the actual wheel trims. the a/r does not have anything to do with the size of the turbo. are there any other marking or number on the turbo? is it made by precision? you may need to remove the housings and mesasure the wheels to get a definite answer

here's a good link that explains trim, a/r, etc

yes it is made by percision but it dosent seem like its that big of a turbo i an running it on my built bottom end ls at 330 hp it spools up fine


and i should just go with a blox?

dpetro1

blox will work fine for your setup. again its hard to say becuase there isnt really one thats "better" than others. oem, blox, skunk2, edelbrock...they will all meet your goals.

b18 hatch mike

i think i will just go with the edelbrock b/c it has the vacuum line ports on the back side and a cleaner look imo

its really is overkill for that setup but it will technically "work"

I use victor x there ported clean and yes clean vacuum ports and all even a 70mm bore! Ive had every intake you can imagine and thats been my favorite so far!

I Would go with a victor X! Mayb youll want more power later then you wont have to change the manifold imo.

If you want to spend your money.. spend it right !

save up and buy a Victor X

b18 hatch mike

i do plan on more power for sure and i have found some good deals like 250 used anyone know of a better deal
