Has anyone ever used the cast iron SPA manifold and how much power could it possibly put out? thanks

 

yes, at least one or more people have used them and Im sure they are able to make around 450whp at least as Iv seen the same out of a standard cast iron. how much power are you shooting for? if its over 400whp I would suggest getting at least a ramhorn.

 

depends onhow well it flows. the material its made of isnt the factory. they "look" like they could do well.

 

Many people have used them and had success. You find too many post on them though. I was going to run one before I got a ramhorn.I talked to the sales rep at PRI last year and had a look it them first had, and I can say they look quality.

 

I am gonna run a sleeved GE block and hoping for 550

 

I will be using this manifold too soon. Every time I ask about this manifold, I get nothing but positive feedback from the people who had used them. Dont quote me on this but, I had heard from a HT member that some people he knows in NY had made over 600whp with it.

 

**** it imma get it and hope for the best bust expect the worst thanks for all the input guys

 

Yeah i was there in person when the car was tuned and this car is a monster it earns every bit of bragging rights it has this build should give hope to all d series nuts out there just remember(D's are better then B's)

 

heres mine. when i first got it , it was hard to find info on other people using them.

 

how is spool time on it, is it more like a short runner cast mani that justs places the turbo on top or?

 

it spools well. sucks but i havent really had the chance to drive the car hard since putting it on.
seemed like every week i was fixing something on the car where i couldnt drive it. now its up for the winter.
old set up made around 265 whp before putting this manifold on. In the spring i'll go back for a retune.

 

imma run a GE sleeved GSR turbonetics T-60 ball bearing turbo 1000cc full race injectors and 9:0 JE 84mm pistons 255lph walbro turbo concepts WG boosting 15 to 20lbs and i just bought a SPA mani like an hour ago hoping for over 500hp





Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................................AN D "B" always comes before"D"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

wtf r u referring to?

 

if you're gonna run a t60 , you are probably gonna have to notch out the radiator support.
its a tight squeeze even on the small .57 63 im running.

 

anyone running one in an ek with ac condensor? im running a pusher fan on the condesor already so that frees up some space just wondering if it should clear...

 

^ idk about an ek but i have seen it done on an integra.

 

Very good manifold, flows pretty close to a turbular style manifold. it has large runners and a large plenum/collector area, boost control is top notch is perfect wg placement. Will be able to make really nice power with it. Im currently running one and love it. Its very well made and thick contrcution and what seems to be good materials. Its not a fly by night place its just not as known as garrett etc. they do sell turbos too.

I was fortunate enough to get a panduckey clocking flange before they went out of business. Oh and a turbo blanket is definatly needed otherwise will cook the pain on the hood

Its not really anything like the average cast manifold. It scertainly not a short runner style that just puts the turbo on top. it was well thought out and designed other than putting the turbo at an angle LOL. longer runners and a good collector design for a cast piece. I will be pushing this manifold come spring time. im making over 350whp right now on this manifold. Spool is great. im running a stage 5 turbine with .82 hotside and it spools very well. Ill be shooting for 500whp with current turbo or upgrading to billet 6262 and shooting for 600

 

^^^^^^damn u lucky **** wish i could get th flang to make mine sit like that^^^^^

 

oh and thas a bigg azz filter on that catch can lol

 

I'm going to get a SPA topmount for my d-series setup.

 

yeah thats my gangster pvc catch can, only cost me about 5 bucks to make, i had the hoses and filter laying around from my old hatch drag car. The gas eats through it every 6 months and i make a new one for another 5 bucks lol

 

^ does your AC work well? I originally took my AC out because of fitment issues with my current setup. But I had ordered the SPA top mount last night and will be putting my AC back into the car, because driving the thing in the summer is close to unbearable. If you would be so kind and maybe post more pictures of the setup? Im interested how everything fits under and how much room i have for the AC pump. Thanks dude. (or PM me some pictures if you dont want to post them up here.)

 

My a/c works flawlessly. Ice cold on the hottest days. Only problem i have is im currently only running a 14 inch fan on my radiator and that draws the heat out of the condenser as well so at idle and moving slow its just cool not cold. once i move like 15mph its ice cold. I will be fixing this issue by installing a pusher fan on the driver side to draw more heat out of the condenser.

i dont have any pics of what your looking for but i can say that there is plenty of room under this manifold to clear anything you need it to. the a/c lines were a bit triky and i did kink one a tiny bit but its working fine. i plan on replacing it and using a pipe bender to make the bend i need. but yeah you do need to finagle the tubing somewhat to get all that to work. unless you have somewhere locally that can make you lines. I think i do but i opted to rig my own unless absolutly nessesary to buy custom ones

 

I wonder if the SPA manifold d series in a EG can be mounted air conditioning? and what modifications should be made with the condenser. I have a 6262 billet.

 

it might work but not sure. the teg cond. sits in the rad support vs the eg sits outside the rad support like the rad does. maybe you can fit a teg cond in there.
