Would it be better to use the turbo manifold from the kit, or should I get a custom manifold? What's better, cast iron/stainless steel--with shape and design, basic, or with 2 middle pipes looping over top?

This is the last step in planning...

soon to be purchasing jdm b18c1, hondata s200, _______turbo kit.

looking forward to 270+whp

:slap: :driving: wned:
to all those damn z28's

 

You will likely get more power out of the tubular design (pipes swoop up and down into the collector), but just be aware of where it will place the wastegate because the radiator can interfere with some of the designs (Lovefab in particular).

I use a shorty MaxRev manifold that is stainless. I've had a farily good experience with it so far.

Oh, and you'll need the S200B..

HIH

 

equal length mani's will make more power, but cost a lot more than a regular log type.

 

Never saw anything about an s200b--is that the s200 for obd 1/jdm enginges?
Also, someone said to make sure I got the real b18c1 (gsr) not the b18c sir-III--something like that...saw a picture on here...what's the difference?

 

B18C1 is the USDM GSR motor

The B18C is either a JDM SiR-G (comperable to the GSR) or the JDM ITR (more performance than the USDM ITR)

You will need the s200b (b is for BOOST option) to run a turbo on your car.

 

ok, I think I got this...

b18c1 (gsr) =USDM 10:1 compression
b18c sir-III (gsr) =ITR =JDM 10.6:1...right?

If I run a turbo, do I do anything different to the JDM engine that I wouldn't do to the USDM engine? Also, If I'm right about JDM=ITR, the camshafts that come with that engine are fine for an easy-mild turbo, right?

Anyone seen/used the spark racing turbo kit? looks optimal for gsr.

 

correction--b18c sir-G = JDM 10.6:1

:doh: and I feel like an idiot for this one: I actually knew the awnser--
itr=type r. sorry...but anyway, are the gsr cams the best grind for a fairly mild street turbo, right?

didn't get alot of sleep last night, and the 5a shift sucks...at least I'm not abusing my internet privelages... :reechy:

 

I make my power with gsr cams. They're a very good cam setup.

 

Your car?? Power???? Pfffft. :eh:

j/k Josh... your car :bowdown:

 

Inline pro will make more power than any tubular mani I have seen out there. IMO it is the best manifold made by far.
