i still got misc. parts to get and finish putting the block together, but when done im shooting for 400-450whp range, plan on gettin it tuned on neptune
what aftermarket manifold would u prefer. i really dont wanna use the stocke mani, im looking at either sk2 or golden ealge. which mani would u prefer for my build

 

I hear that the Edelbrock is the best for turbo. I use a AEBS and I have no trouble with it.

 

maybe there are few new best intake manifolds on market for d16 turbo setup? new experince somebody?

 

I think the question you should be asking yourself is where do I want this motor to make power?

4500-7500 - performer x/skunk 2/aebs/worked z6

6000-9000 - golden eagle/venom/str

The way I understand things, the larger plenum shorter runner intakes will give you gains in top end power, while a moderate increase in plenum size and slightly shortened runners will help mid range...

 

I believe the performer X should be in the 6k-9k category

 

If edelbrock made a victor x for d's I'd say the same... I don't have any experience or dyno charts to back up my words though...

 

d16 turbo street setup. 300-400 whp, i think 350
what will be best?
