Turbo Manifolds..
I'm in the market for a new turbo manifold for my 95 Integra rally car but I can't decide which is best. I want to keep the biggest radiator possible while still having a tubular mani. In the past i have been using a Garrett t3/t4 turbo but I will be installing a smaller turbo next year, something like a gt28 or something... I have not had any experience nor have I even seen any of these manifolds in person so I can not judge which would give me the best clearance with the equal length design...
Peakboost FTW? Lovefab minime eq? Go-Autoworks? Whats the best (for the $$$)?

Re: Turbo Manifolds..
if you get a ramhorn or top mount you will need to use a small civic raditator also for decide which manifold you need its up to u what are ur hp goals what are you gonna be doing with the car whats your spending limit.

Re: Turbo Manifolds..
My horsepower goals are around 300 - 350whp max. Using an half size rad is not an option for me. I just blew up my motor due to overheating it.
Still looking around but they all look like excellent quality and very similar in appearance. I have checked the sites noted above and messaged them with their recommendations. At this point I am beginning to wonder about log manifolds.. I understand that these style mani's actually spool faster but don't flow as well therefor don't produce the high power numbers as a tubular/ ramhorn style. I don't want to make any more than 350whp so I'm wondering if log is the way to go... But would I get boost creeping or spiking with such a manifold? What are all the negative drawbacks to using a log style manifold.
I will be downsizing my turbo like I said before, would it be possible (I mean not all that difficult) to make 300 - 350whp on a GT28 or GT28RS or something similar using a log manifold?
thanks for your input guys.

Re: Turbo Manifolds..
the GT28RS will supply power shy of 340ish
but the midrange power would be something to be rekoned with. However my experiences thus far are with the GT2871RS - made 400 WHP 340 torque I believe on 19 psi on race gas tuned by MASE a long long time ago.
as for your power goals and your manifold choice, with an 84MM you wont too much of a lose in your acceptable power band with our quick4 style manifold. Log style manifolds will choke down due to your large bores and flowing motor and create too much backpressure for your setup and your power goals with the current setup.
