Looking to order one here in the next week , curious if anyone else is using one , They seem to be very well priced and look like a great quality . Just looking to get some input good or bad , Cant seem to find much info on them... Thanks guys

 

I had a brms top mount the manifold is great the quality is a++++ and the fitment was one of the best I have seen. Only reason I sold it because I wanted to change up my setup so I got the brms twisted ram manifold. Also Brandon the owner is a great person to deal with hands down.

 

Brandon's customer service is top notch and so are the products. I'm going to be running their t3 topmount with a precision 5431 billet wheel turbo on my completely stock b16b. The fitment was amazing and I also got a 4 bolt to v band adapter for the 3' downpipe.

 

Why a top mount? Does your power level warrant one or do you want it because it looks cool? And is laggier then any other manifold optioj available due to very long runner length

 

Well it makes 550WHP On 93 Octane , I plan on using race fuel as well and shooting for upwards of 650+ . You tell me ? ... No I dont want it because it " Looks cool " . Back to the subject of the manifold.

 

Ah ok, your power level is in the range of most top mount users so you should be fine.

.my question was more directed at the I'm putting one on my stock motor guy.

 

We're using one. On a eg hatch w a gsr, n pte6031. Fitment is kinda crappy. Hada notch webbing on block for manifold runner,,,. N bent bottom rad support lip. a lil bit. But it wrks fine. ,,,,And it's a bone stock motor. @ wantboost. it does look. Pretty cool tho! Lol

 

I strongly advise anyone using a top mount to ceramic coat or heat wrap the manifold to combat exhaust gas temp loss through the runners. Same for the turbo. Coat the turbine housing or use a blanket (or both) it will help combat the loss in response due to lost exhaust gas temp and velocity since the longer runners slow it down and the outer surface area of the runners exposed to ambient air sheds heat drastically. Hot, fast exhaust gasses are what spools a turbo and makes power/torque.

Of course the manifold is designed for top end power but you can reclaim some of the midrange with what I suggested and slightly increase top end power and torque which is never a bad thing.

 

Any proof to that? $300 in coating might not be worth 100rpm spool time to alot of people

 

The newest version has the best fitment and clearance.
Thanks!

 

here's a pic of my setup when I was mocking everything up. Everything is now thermal coated. For the guy worrying about me running a topmount on my stock b16b, most likely I won't even run it lol. I have a ls motor that I will be building shortly but been very busy because my daughter will be here in one month .

 

Just placed my order today , thanks for the input guys

 

Yea once yiur daughter is born all car progress and sleep will stop lol

 

top notch customer service i have their t4 top mount and 4 inch downpipe,quality is amazing and fitment is perfect

 

Yea I've heard from numerous people about how quality the manifolds are and how amazing and personal the service is

 

Ya man not bashing u, dont worry lol ,,got it used but never mounted in a car,, it is an ok manifold. But. We did have those few minor fitment issues. Mayb it was 1 In The bunch. It performs well tho. And the turbo inket does sit really close to the headlight on our car. Just saying,,,

 

Any top mount with an S or ported shroud compressor housing will have headlight clearance issues regardless of chassis, that's the nature of the beast

 

Im running a PTE 6262 , I shouldnt have any issues in my EG Chassis I dont think ?

 

It'll be tight

 

 

 

It's just how every top mount is made. It's almost unavoidable and running a proper air filter will be practically impossible

 

And before anyone say's yes that's my turbo in my closet ..lol

When I placed the order yesterday with blue ridge I was told no clearance issues with my 6262.

 

I am only going by what Blue ridge told me when I placed the order , I asked about any clearance issues with The 6262 and they said no... Air filter isnt a concern , Its not much of a street car anymore and if anything ill just use a screen I guess

 

Here is my brothers car with the Synapse Top Mount ... No issues here either
