I'm wondering the same thing. It would seem like you'd need a lot of room to get any wrench in there, or just do it from the bottom of the car with the bumper off.

you claim the lines are heat sinks, but you dont want to cool your manifold.. the more heat going to your turbo the better.. heat is energy

well bump for a very different design indeed. I don't understand why some of you guys are making fun of it? this is a technical post, not the apperance from were you judge things on how it looks.

Don't knock on it until you try it. I'm an optimistic.

I'll tell you why I am going to make fun of it.

1.) Exaust gases expand...expansion is good because it helps spool the turbo. If your manifold has fins on it (aiding in heat dissapation) the gases passing through the turbo will be cooler than normal which is a bad thing. Plus, where do you think these fins are passing their heat to? The engine bay...yet another negative to this design. Why do people thermal wrap or coat their mani's???? To keep the heat in, not to dissapate it out. This design is stupid.

2.) I agree that the bottom bolts are going to be a huge pain in the *** to get to.

3.) Is it just me, or does it look like this manifold would require a lot of space between the block and radiator? Yet another possible problem.

Yeah, I'm going to say that those fins are straight up for bling purposes. I don't agree with them. They go against one of the major design requirements of a turbo manifold. I'd like to hear their reasoning for the fins.

i put 10$ on your full tubular manifold puts OFF way more heat then that thing does..

Damn, must be A LOT of stress on the head to keep that thing hanging off of the bolts---------then with a turbo hanging from the end of it, wtf???

I agree, it could double as a grill. You would be the coolest guy at a honda bbq meet!!

ummm....your supercharger has fins on it because it doesn't rely on heat to spool it up like a turbo does. That belt thats connected to it? Yeah that does all the work. The air goes through the sc, so if the supercharger doesn't stay somewhat cool then you are gonna force hot air into your engine....not good.

Turbo manifold on the other hand doesn't work like that.

We aren't knocking it because its new or different. Hell, I don't even have a turbo. We're knocking it because it doesn't make anysense to try and dissapate heat off of it.
