im thinking about getting the bwr kit for 2299
but then this kit popped up
its a lil bit cheaper than the bwr

its for my gsr swapped hatch

what do u think?

the kit comes with

Race-Tech twin scroll stainless steel manifold
Race-Tech 2.5" downpipe
Genuine Evo 9 rebuild Turbo
Race-Tech intercooler kit.
Oil and water lines
Tial External wastegate
Screamer pipe




is twinscroll better than ramhorn?

 

twinscroll describes the turbo actually. its divided onthe inlet, basically. the manifold is designed to take advantage of this. looks like a nice setup, depending on your horspower goals

 

Doesn't seem too bad, but you could piece a kit together yourself and save a few hundred bucks...

 

the welding/fabrication on the Race-tech is ok but far from the quality of a BWR kit.Does Race-tech have a life-time warranty like we do?

 

hummm, i would call a couple of those welds, undercut. but maybe it was still in the built phase.

 

bwr manifold looks real good
same as afi i guess?

there ramhorn manifold looks like this

 

No not the same as AFI, pretty much all ramhorn manifolds look the same. Just not all fabricated as well as others.

 

My first question to you would be what are your goals for horsepower? That will help us in aiding you with your decision on what style of manifold will work for you the best.

 

do some ramhorns start to crack because of the turbo weighing it down or jus bad welding

 

mostly then second one, ppl who run bigger turbos usually brace them.

 

If a manifold is not fabricated and welded properly (backpurged,full penetration,beveled,ect....) it will be a lot more likely to crack.

 

bought a racetech ages ago on another car looked nice but was some 'fish eyes' on the welds which developed into cracks later on.. dont think his welding that good compared to other brands.. and not cheap either

 

did u get ur manifold replaced dan?

 

Yes i got him taken care of. He should be very happy with his new manifold coming in.

We have several twin scroll and open variants for you to choose from all with warranty as well as complete kits.

Working with our parent company Kenney Enterprises we are able to CNC all of our flanges in house. We have also acquired a new welding technique because of them that is unsurpassed by any other.







The later of the two pictures are not of current welds, but just showing manifold designs.

 

looking good

 

Both brands look great! Both appear to have much better welds than the race-tech

** EDIT **

I removed the pricing I listed, I was incorrect. Sry guys. It seems both BWR and AFI manifolds are on sale!

 

As i previously stated our manifold is one of the best on the market. It is tried and true, backed by years of experience, and has a great customer following. You wont be let down going with our product. Everything of ours is made 100% in house.

 

Same with us, all of our forced induction parts are fabricated 100% here in house by our fabricators with several years of experience. With our Lifetime Warranty and great customer service you know you will be taken care of. for two companies with nice products.

 

THANKS!!! Great to see another manufacturer out there in the market. Where are you guys located? I wouldnt mind stoping by to check out the facility and some of your guys product if i was ever in the area. Same with you guys though feel free to swing by if your ever in the Phoenix area.

 

hey not trying to thread jack but i got a drag 3 turbo kit and the turbo is on its way out looking for a direct replacement that will bolt up to the same cast log manifold have cash in hand if eather of u can give me a good price im prepared to buy it

 

seen afi's stuff in person, their welders (as in people) are second to none.

bwr's haven't seen in person, but look good as well.
