Default Log vs ram manifold low boost on high rev motor

Im looking at a revhard log mani or a used ramhorn.
I'm only running 6psi on a stockb16a
With a 50trim turbonetic turbo

I'm not sure if the manifolds would make a huge diff with low hp numbers
Because the b16 revs high I wanna get the ram because it make more power in the higher rpm
Would it make that much of a diff besides looks? Of I went log

Not for that size turbo. There's no reason to run a full equal length manifold like that for something 49lbs/min. the tubular logs are a nice medium to use (since you have to have a downpipe made for it anyway whether you have a used cast log or not).

Stay simple. especially with a B16 and stock cams. No need to go crazy. you'll do as much top end as the 50 trim you're using will allow, no problem.

i really dont think u would notice a diff in power with that little boost but seriously logs are so ugly and they get all rusty i would buy the ram on looks alone, i do have the ram and i love it.

I do plan on building a block so within a year hope I should have one, should I go log now and ram next year? I could easily sell the manifold, seeing as I'm buying it new and only using it for a year maybe 2 the latest

Would you rather spend 5-600 bucks on a manifold (saying you would buy a good one, not Ebay ****.) for 6 bls of boost or 100? That's the question to ask yourself.

try finding a tubular log like this.



Not a cast one like this: from Neukin or Blox or anything of that sort.


InlinePRo is an exception

A "Ramhorn" on a 50trim, just makes no sense unless you really plan to put a much larger turbo later on.

http://www.spoolinperformance.com/sp...fold-p-58.html
Only 300 same price as a revhard

http://www.go-autoworks-store.com/go...-manifold.html
Only 295

Nice I think they both use 38mm wastegate and can bolt to a t3/t4 turbo
Just gotta ask which ones better,
Goauto,
Revhard or
SP?
There all about the same price

If you can afford a little more money and you still can't decide, go with a Go Autoworks Mini ram.

i just removed my blox manifold in favor of an inline pro ss, being able to compare both side by side i can honestly say there is no comparison period. It might seem like there similar by just comparing pics online but trust me there not, the runners are smaller, horrible merge, less than ample clearance for the dipstick,wastegate issues with the vtec head...for sub 300whp sure its fine but who ever stays at that level.

I just said not to bother with the Blox/Neukin cast manifolds. I just put the picture up there with that... I JUST DID IT..

Why help when no one is READING

You can't lose between the Go-Autowerks or the Spoolin'. There is no Better in this situation. they both work..

buying new is always a good option but at the same time the ramhorn will save in the long run because lets face it we know 6psi turns into 16psi,26psi, etc
