Exactly why I switched to a Full Race brand manifold over the stocker. I know its not a log, but I wanted the benefits of the tubular one.

I had three log setups before going tubular and will never go back.

I will agree on the Log setup sucking, but Full Race's tests show the log spooling sooner then the equal length. Now spool up time doesn't do much if it becomes a horrible flow restriction later in the powerband.

SR20 Log vs Equal Length
The log manifold spooled the turbo about 100 rpm sooner than the equal length.


Honda B Series Log vs Equal Length
The log manifold spooled the turbo about 250-300 rpm sooner than the equal length.

I'm tempted to get this: Mazworx SR20VE D.I.Y Turbo Manifold Kit (Ramhorn Stlye) - Fabrication Materials - Mazworx

There is one big reason the log manifold is good... you can run T3 turbos on them.

Other than that, the stock manifold will perform very well and is cheaper. But I will say this: Use the log for now, but expect an upgrade in the future when you want more than 400whp. You can make over 400whp with a log, been there-done that. But the tubular will flow a lot better and make better top end.

we'll find out in a couple weeks, my log will be on the dyno, I'd love to see over 400whp.

I have a doubt in here...

This turbo is good for up to 550 hps...

Is this going to be a daily driven car or just for track? As for daily driven I can't imagine how big lag can be.

And personally, I love BB turbos compared to journal like this one, I have used both and journal need more care to last as same as bb and spool a little bit slower.

If I ever decide to upgrade my turbo, I would go for this one:

GT3071R

The GT3071R wastegated units are the highest-flowing ball-bearing turbochargers in our range employing the "T25"-style wastegated turbine housing

Turbine housing flanges are outline interchangeable with GT2554R (471171-3), GT2560R (466541-1), GT2860RS (739548-1)

With turbine 0.86 A/R you can get up to 480 hps


The only big advantage I see is price, aprox 750 dlls compared to aprox 1300 dlls

Your car looks pretty good, your will get big hps numbers with your new turbo.

Wolf, if you go with a T3, I would hope you go with an external waste gate
