Kelly got one, and you know he made big power with it on the SOHC... I think it's good looking, and the price is great.

Thanks for the words everyone, there will be pics of it installed and a dyno of that setup in the next 2-3 days.

I will let the owner post if he chooses.

It isn't 100% equal length, but close.

The manifold has already been proven to make power, the same design made 441hp and 333ft lbs on a SOHC with a 57 trim @ 25psi.

I'd love to see what kind of power it would make with a 67mm turbo on a 2L vtec motor!.

Well, I finally got to tune this thing. After tuning Kelly's 441whp SOHC with this topmount, I was impressed and I ended up talking with Tim about it. He built this divided, twin 44 gate topmount setup.... and it is beautiful. Fitment is excellent and quality is top notch. Downpipe and dumptubes routing is great, the ground clearance is maximized, I have no problems driving it with a full 4" exhaust and 12" flex tube with both wastegate dumps on the street. (As a mattter of fact, I am driving it 80 miles to the drag strip today ) Tim made the transition to a topmount setup very easy, his customer service is top notch. I was in a pinch for time and Tim came through. I am very happy with the setup.

Here are a few pics:










I am having a boost-tapering issue... I made 405whp uncorrected on 12psi absolute (1-bar spring but we are at 6500 feet elevation so there is a ~3psi difference between absolute boost pressure and gauge boost pressure). Once the boost gets up there, I can't seem to keep it from tapering off. The old-school profec-b (spec 1) wouldn't let me get over 25psi gauge, so I borrowed a manual controller to get what you see above. If you look a tthe last graph, it has a plot showing gauge boost pressure. Subtract 3psi from those pressures to see what the absolute boost pressure was (i.e. what the map sensor and motor are seeing). I am losing 5psi from peak boost to redline, so I am looking at an AMS1000 to try and correct the issue.

The setup is:
Benson 83mm GSR, LS crank, full-race rods ( ), CP pistons
Stock GSR head with supertech valves, springs and retainers, ITR cams
GT4088R, .96 hotside. 70mm mustang TB
Flamenco-T bosch fuel system, 1000cc injectors
NepTune RTP

I was wondering if the .96 hotside caused the tapering issue, but tegedrex's car held 32psi fine with the same turbo with the exception that his was non-BB. I will try a nice EBC and see what happens If you can imagine the dyno if the boost is held to redline..... well, the numbers will be quite a hit higher

Regardless of the #'s, this thing is a monster. I was never able to roast 4th gear withdrag radials and a quaife until now. I am hitting the track today.

HUGE Special thanks to Tim at TurboElements (wonderul product and customer service), Geoff at Full-Race for the countless hours of help over the years (thanks a ton man), Earl and Benson, Stan at Fast-turbo, all of Revolutions Tuning, Sam Parks and Kyle at ImportSports and of course the Big man upstairs

I will post an updated dyno chart when the boost is held to redline as well as some nice timeslips ASAP
