"WOW"

It is kinda insane.....I run same turbo specs, same displacement and the same cr like with DRAG III manifold but so much quicker spool!!!!! I am so happy about that. I switched from 4.785 fd to 4.400 and it is even building much quicker boost. Throttle response is way better too, I think the stock flywheel is better than the Fidanza I had......I realy feel no difference in reving.

I will shot some pics in a few hours, cause my father is driving around with the digi cam in his Benz :thumbdown"

a/c compressor is removed, cause the DRAG III downpipe was hiting the a/c compressor about 1 inch. There is no space. Viren told me that I have to bring the downpipe more in angle, I will work on this during the winter time. The downpipe was actualy angeld some mm with the DRAG manifold, cause with stock downpipe angle it was hitting the compressor too. Is it possible we have an different climate compressor like you US-guys?

The VS manifold has changed its color to shiny blue/gold

The location of the wastegate is perfect and no hood clearence problems with the tial.

I need ASAP my slim fan. I had to move the right fan on the radiator (when you look from front on the car) to the left side of the radiator.











Protect against heat!

 

Yah I have the same manifold. Dif. wastegate position, I love it. Everything about it is amazing. I bet you are as happy as I am. Viren and I love the manifold, Im glad you gave it a try. Youre not regreting at all are you. Your setup looks nice

here is mine

 

that thing looks badass. how much u pay for it.

 

yeah, very good performing manifold. Well it looks like of very good quality, but I only drove 300 km with it, it is on the car since yesterday........I have to see how the damn a/c compressor will fit again, but that is not as important as a good manifold. DAMN does that turbo spool quick, I should use a bigger compressor side now spending monay on that car has never an end

 

I never knew what that line was for...what is its purpose? I just have a fitting threaded into and a plugged vac line...??

 

absolute pressure for the boost controller

 

my thoughts exactly, i might be looking to up grade my ,maniflod sonce im redoing my Type R motor this winter.

 

ask Viren about the price, please.

He should make a groupbuy on it

 

Ok, got a question for you elite hatch.. Have you tried installing your manifold in an integra w/ a full length radiator? By the looks of these pics, it looks like your dumptube for the wastegate is going to have a real hard time clearing the radiator. Even if you gave it a sharper bend it might not clear.. Just curious..

Regarding viren's version of the manifold.. Does he sell an a/c compatible downpipe with this kit? It looks like there's enough room to clear if it had a real sharp bend in the beginning like the maxrev downpipe..

Im not gonna say how much for my manifold on this post because this post is about Virens manifold. As for the questions, It will fit in a GSR with full lenth radiator. Though I would suggest when you turbo it just to go with a delsol double thickness radiator. It makes things a lot easier to work on. PM me with any questions you may have.

so this manifold DOES work with A/C? it looks like it is hitting, is it and is it going to hurt anything? thanks.

 

Ok, so it does in fact fit? I would do that but I don't want to throw away a perfectly good radiator. I just replaced the radiator w/ a new one from honda not long ago because the old one started leaking, and they're expensive. I'm very interested in changing my manifold but want to make SURE the dumptube will clear the radiator.. Thanks.

I run the stock radiator with Virnes manifold. Major work to the downpipe should give the a/c compressor room

 

I dont have A/C on my car. but it would work

 

Yeah, I was actually referring to the TRR version of the manifold regarding the dumptube.. It looks like the VS placement of the wastegate leaves plenty of room for the dumptube..

So you're starting w/ a drag downpipe originally? Does viren sell a downpipe to go w/ this manifold? It might just be simpler buying a downpipe from him..

-Mike

 

looks really tight....how abotu on a civic? doesnt even look like u can run a slim fan for the a/c side...

p.s.- your ground is at the wrong spot

Run a push style fan and put it on the front of the condenser..

-Mike

 

You can use the manifold with ac on a civic for sure. Not sure about integra but i don't see why not. The last kit I built I used our version (everyone has the same manifold and they call it their own, yet nobody makes their own) and kept the ac. I had to make a dowpipe with a sharp bend to clear the compressor, move the condenser fan to the front of the radiator, bend and twist the ac lines a little, and wrap the lines because they sit very close to the wastegate. Anyways, it can be done with a little "modifying".

We have a Jotech version available too an it's better than everyone elses! j/k

 

If you like this, wait till you see the Arturbo version.

 

Oh is that coming out the same time the endyn supercharger does?

 

is it AC compatible?

 

Yes it is. Tony, you've seen the Arturbo manifold, right?

 

how about the cheapest version...

 

None will compare to the VaporTrail manifold, due out 2010!

 

ahahahahaaa...
let us know how it goes....
