Default Take a look at this mani

just wanted to see if this log mani is supposed to be like this. where the flange is welded on, theres a whole spot where the welding was done. does this not block the gases from flowing to the turbo? the whole looks extremely small to me. dont think itll be able to spool up an sc61.
what do you guys think?

looks like a lovefab to me. you shoudlnt be too worried, its fine, some holes are extreamly small but at such high pressures itcarries enough velocity to spool it, dont worry about it, with a turbo set up, a bigger manifold or bigger tubes is not better. itll be fine

$300


see how this one is all open. of course its gonna flow more. does anyone think that my manifold will restrict the flow? i dont see how it wont. sorry for being ****

again, for the 12387514876146 time.....

log manifolds work off of pressure, not flow.

so if you log mani looks like it doesnt "flow" well, thats probably be cause it doesnt.

A log manifold doesn't work off presure any more than any other manifold does. The turbine wheel/housing is the end result of backpressure in the system. Non turbulant flow is important in any manifold, hence why you don't see many log manifolds other than home made ****. Log manifolds do have alot more turbulance than most manifolds. If you have less turbulance, you will make hp. If you free up backpressure (with a bigger turbine wheel or housing), you will make hp. It's very simple...
