i would run a skunk 2. Thats what am running, but then again am all motor..
all man friends that have a turbo have a skunk 2..
Edlebrock (victor x) probably run better if your using the bottle.. if not just stick with the skunk...

em1effekt

yeah they say victor x is better for all motor..
im considering the performer x...wich is suposably good for turbo set ups..

sk2 all the way lol jk i guess its what you like everyone i know uses skunk2 i see a couple victor x on fully built motors and i would guess a 68mm tb would be good enough ?? im guessing and i did do a little research they said the bigger you go the less torque cause you loose vacuum

What are your power goals? The Victor X is by far one of the elite boost manifolds period, but it is a higher RPM manifold 7-10k is where it makes peak power.

The Victor X is the best manifold for boost applications. Skunk2 manifolds are pretty good, but you can get a blox manifold for half the price and it is almost identical to the skunk2 manifold.

I would go with a Victor x.

Another choice could be the BBK performance manifold. You can also get their 70MM TB which is portmatched for it as well. Its a decent price too.

em1effekt

so wouldnt the performer x be better than the victor x manifold? since supposably its Engineered for peak torque and horsepower gains at 4500-8200
im trying to make 300whp..wich some say i might not need the manifold i still want a good manifold to help the b16 head out..

and what size tb can i use stock?
is it true you lose torque with a bigger t.b?



thanks everyone for the info..really helpfull..so far i have narrowed it down to three..edlebrock performer x..skunk 2 pro series..or blox..

dont know what t.b

terbear4god

you can make 300whp with the stock lol

idk iv heard skunk 2 manifolds are junk but that's just online mixed reviews i believe its more of am "brand name" than a performer..

id say victor x if not id check out the magnus manifold it has a really nice build and internal work and iv seen them used on some high applications 6-700+

i would stay away from blox all their stuff is really cheaply made from everything iv seen kinda like a "ebay brand"

I would like to see what the difference is between a performer X and a type R style manifold. I think it would be great for a mostly street driven car. It is the best N/A manifold on the market from what I have read in the All motor forum here. Anyone have experience with boost and a Performer X?

93egSLEEPER

If your looking for 300whp use all the stock parts. No need for aftermaket

93egSLEEPER

Where are you basing your info from saying blox is cheaply made and it "ebay brand"? Do you have any experience with their products?

PS skunk2 and blox are produced in the same factory.....

anavrin

Bump for more info I currently have a victor x on my setup fullbuilt but only
Plan on reving to like 8200 so wouldn't it be better for me to swap out to the
Performer??? For some reason a lot of ppl still saying the victorx will be best for boost

00Red_SiR

No they are not and this is misinformation that has been floating around for sometime. There was a huge thread on HT a couple years ago where Blox was on here trying to defend their company and all the big names were involved in the discussion. So much factual information got out that the thread eventually got locked and went "missing" on HT (you can't find it no matter how hard you search). Blox is a Chinese copy company, Skunk is not.

QFT. I remember that thread too. I can't find it for the life of me.

terbear4god

i had a blox filter it was sh*t but it was cheap

for cheap it was good lol

em1effekt

bump for thread jacking

em1effekt

i dont want to have a stock b20vtec turbo..
right now its narrowed down to the performer x or the skunk2 pro series..
anybody have good experiance with eaither manifold...and ctr cams??

terbear4god

get the performer x man if you go too a Honda meet you will see thousands of skunk 2's standing out is better than fitting in

q16racer

sounds like a great theory in non hp making.

^this. It is what i am using on my setup.

93egSLEEPER

Any added info on it? I have been looking at that setup but Im still torn between it or the Vic X
