Mini ram manifold question
I have a inline pro ss log right now and a 5 bolt precision sc34. Inlet faces passenger side since it's made for ac/ps. So I'm thinking about picking up a DOC race mini ram. Could I still mount the turbo the same way it is now and just mod my downpipe to fit? I don't object to having the inlet facing the drivers side but I just don't wanna have to order a new downpipe if I can avoid it. Saves me money to put towards other things. Thanks H-T

Re: Mini ram manifold question
you'll have to mod the downpipe regardless, the doc mini will sit lower and tilt at a different angle .
personally, i'd keep what you have

Re: Mini ram manifold question
Yeah I like the setup I have on my car now. It's simple and been proven to work. My only gripe is when I was tuned in June by John Kerr @ IMW. He told me with having a log and itr cams that it was hard to get my vtec crossover down lower then what it is now 6,200 rpm. Also running a log with high boost levels creates a lot of heat. I am going to be swapping out my current built gsr for another short block. Right now I have Wiseco 8:5:1-9:0:1 pistons "depending on how much milling was done to the head or block" I'll be putting in a gsr short block that has an ls oem crank and scat ls rods with cp 9:8:1 pistons. So I'll be able to make more power on less boost. I wonder if just selling the itr cams and getting gsr cams would be better suited for my car. I'm hoping to make around 400 wheel. Using the setup I have now and this new motor configuration. Thanks for the info racebum

Re: Mini ram manifold question
an Inlinepro log flows very well even on ITR cams. You should not have to set vtec that high, that doesnt right at all. on a log i was in vtec around 5100rpm. lower compression might be hurting the vtec point more so than the log manifold IMO. the itr/ctr cams really like alot of swirl before going to the larger lobes from my experience and lower compression takes longer for that to happen.

Re: Mini ram manifold question
the log should do just fine, i really dont see why vtec is set that high though other than the low comp. Are you going to raise comp ratio in the new motor?

Re: Mini ram manifold question
has something to do with the short runners but i went up to a 57 compressor .63 ar hotside. original setup was 50 and .48ar I had to up my vtec crossover to 5300rpm from 4400rpm on a stock itr with 11.1. I could see a lower comp engine having to go even higher. could not get tune to work until i increased crossover . Was told short runners and stock intake manifold were factors also.

Re: Mini ram manifold question
That INlinePro mani doesn't need replacing. Those manifolds have been proven into the 800whp range...if anything, ditch that SC34 for something a bit less outdated.
