top mount question
what would be the average height of a top mount? Does is vary from desing?
I have one but it seems shorter compared to others , but I never seen a top mount in real life, so then again i don't know.

Re: top mount question (AViciousTHRUST)
all I can say is have fun with that wastegate placement… looks like you might run into boost creep issues .... but other than that it looks fine, who made that manifold?

I like the manifold everything looks good to me, maybe is just the bends i dunno im a noob to this sort of thing

put down the pipe
it comes off of the two runners where most do
Looks to me that someone else put a couple of extra bends from where it was originally.

To answer the original question....Most manifolds are smaller in person than you'd think. I was really surprised how small mine was when i got it in the mail.
Just to put it in perspective, here's a pic of mine

im told (by the shop i puchased it from- slowmotion motorsports -here in columbus) that it is one of the first runs of H22 mani's that full-race made. i really have no info about it beyond that. it is a really, really nice piece and i got a great deal on it. i dont think you were calling BS or anything but the welds definately give it away as a Full-Race manifold.

Word, thats what I thought it was because I remember seeing it a while ago, but its not on their site anymore.

ill have to see my motor wont probably be done in another 2months since Im on a very limited budget, ill let you guys know how it goes. Im hoping it wont have any boost creep issues.

Re: top mount question (AViciousTHRUST)
I'd plan on changing the wg placement on that one now, before it goes in the car. If you have a decent sized turbo and exhaust, i think it's going to boost creep pretty bad.

its pretty simple...... think of the way your exhaust is flowing. when you try to make it do a complete 180 and then travel that far before getting to the wastegate, that is where you are going to have boost creep. If you notice on most manifolds they don’t have wastegate placements that make that many turns and they aren’t that long……

Re: top mount question (AViciousTHRUST)
never had any boost creep issues with that kind of wastegate placement on any of our other manifolds.
same manifold design used on spoolinmatts 690whp motor, 19sec beasts 630whp turbo LS, spoolinmatts 630whp turbo eg
if you want AC and PS, somethings gotta give

that is no where near the same wastegate placement as the OP's
