running turbo gsr, is the edelbrock victor x i.m. a good manifold for high hp - midrange and high rpm power? said somthing like max at 7-10krpm. or should i get other.

 

Everyone is probably going to tell you to search, but anyways, I recently added one on my gsr and gained power throughout the whole powerband, more from 6k and up though. This was at the same boost level. Worth it in my opinion. If you have deep pockets, the full-race im seems to be very good all over the board.

What boost level was that? Would it be practical for a current 272whp setup on 7psi? Looking to change my manifold and turn up the boost, but I was leaning toward the Blox manifold.

Thanks!

 

this was at 10 psi, pretty much stock gsr besides the im. Last dyno was 287hp, 192 ft/lbs, new was 303hp, 200 ft/lbs w/victor x. Also a to4e turbo .63a/r exhaust, 57 trim for reference.

 

awsome, i have the same turbo and a jdm gsr, i will def be looking into the victor x now, thanks!

 

my cuz just threw a skunk 2 on n/a gsr and way better top end, i see a few in town and hear it's good but just wondering what else is good out there. what's with the 8 injectors? secondary for what &gt; fullboost?

 

The bosses are there for 4 additional injectors on the bottom of the im, whether they are machined out or not is an option when you buy. This is for the injectors and an additional fuel rail. This is mostly for supplemental fuel, nos, etc. I've never actually seen anyone use it, although I'm sure someone has. Most people have the right size injectors for the total demand w/proper management and don't need to worry about anymore injectors then they already have.

 

Its for sequential injection also, AEM and I am sure alot of other ECU's support this.....you basically run a larger set on injectors on the back side for high HP setups, when you designate the ECU to switch over it does. It is a shady option in my opinion becasue there is no shown time lapse in which the primary set of injectors switches over to the secondary and there could possibly be time in which fuel should be going into the engine and it isnt......not worth it in my opinion

did you make that much power off the victor x swap alone? retune too? i didn't think a victor x manifold would help my setup at 9psi too much, so i didn't install it. i still have it, but i don't wanna pay for another tune. lol

Are you looking to sell the manifold? I may be interested in purchasing one... let me know!!

Not thread jacking, just too lazy to pm haha sorry...

 

why yes i am amigo. hahaha. mattcivic said he's gonna come scoop it up on friday. i run a small business so usually when i get off the post office, fedex, and ups is closed. but i just found a post office that closes at 12:30am by the airport. so i guess i can start to ship stuff

 

Not trying jack the thread but i have an early Victor X manifold and was planning on using it on a GSR with a Greddy kit with 9:1 compression, port & polished head and 2.75 DP back exhaust

will this manifold be useful or is the 18g not big enough for the manifold?

I did search and found nothing.

i think it could help you. how much boost are you gonna be pushing? you should definitely look into a bigger turbo kit if you have a built motor

i totally agree with this. stag'd injection can hurt things. we bent a rod on a burnout because the engine loaded up with fuel when it wasnt supposed to.


we now run all 8 1600cc injectors from idle to redline. oh yea, on methanol

i wouldn'tconsider it built just lower compression
i was planning on doing 15psi @ high boost but not daily

 

Ill also be running the edelbrock with my stock gsr boost setup. The turbo is coming in this week, so ill let you know what happens. Boost will be around 11-13psi on an sc32.

so does any one know if this Intake Manifold would be good to use with a Greddy 18g turbo?
