Recently this past week we've started on our latest project. This particular setup is mild compared to some of the other top mount set ups we've seen. But the customer just wanted to keep it simple. I can't say enough about how awesome the Full-Race manifold is, from the design and build it fit like a glove no problems here.

Engine:
B20/Vtec 84mm
Golden Eagle Sleeved
JE 9:5:1
Pauter Rods

Here the modifications:
Precision SC61 w/ S-Housing
Precision 1000cc Injectors
Tial 44mm WG
Tial BOV
Full-Race Top Mount Manifold
Full-Race Traction Bar
Precison AIC-750 Intercooler
Turbo XS Boost Controller
Hondata S200b w/3step
Custom Intercooler Piping
Custom 3" Downpipe

 

nice

 

HOTDAMN! Nice set up, how much power you expect?

Since this vehicle is a daily driven, so around 420whp on pump gas

 

Why was this top mount mani chosen over the standard mount manifold? It also looks that because of that set up, there is going to be a larger amount of heat generated by the valve cover. Will there be a heat shield?

Also, I see no mention of an aftermarket radiator. I would look at the top tank on that stock radiator eventually melting and/or cracking from all that heat up top.

 

Looks good!

 

nice setup

LOL its been sitting for a couple of weeks gettin the motor built.

 

From that link you provided, I have determined that the benifits from one to the other are minimal. Basically coming down to a personal preference. One of the disadvantages to this top mount that I noted was that you run the risk of baking the paint off your hood in the area where the turbo is located due to the heat generated. Of coarse, a heat shield (like I suggested in my first post) would substantially help this situation.

CLIFFNOTES FROM LINK
Benifits:
Can run larger down pipe (for those of you who want a 4")
Can swap out turbos easier
Oil hose return line is more vertical
Spools faster than standard location (would like to see dyno charts)

Disadvantage:
Potentially will cook the paint off the hood of your car
Will not cool as faster/efficiently compaired to the standard location
Oil hose return line is much longer
May need to create a heat shield for hood and radiator

 

I think the advantages out way the dis-advantages.

Setup looks nice man! Good luck!

 

DAMN THATS NICE.............FINANCING TURBO KITS?

I am running the top mount mani with the 4" downpipe and I have had no problems what so ever. The paint on my hood isnt burning or flaking off... I have seen no difference from running this manifold. my car is running an average of 185 water temp and I am building boost smooth

 

dyam that car is sick i saw it today i cant wait to see dyno numbers

 

Stoney just got through tuning the vehicle, keep in mind that this is a daily driven car. At 14PSI it made 405whp & 276trp





Stabilizer Bracket

 

AHW chit sleepy!!! ready to take me out stunna

 

thats some dam good #'s @ 14 lbs.
