Well, heres a little question: Does anyone think that there could be a better way to route the piping for a better manifold or is this the best it gets for our car with the turbo in the location I put it? Can anyone come up with a design that is going to create more hp, all else being equal, with only changes made to the manifold?


Here's a pic of somethin I made 3 years ago, one of my first actually. The outer runners start off in a less that ideal layout but the turbo was almost square to the head(flange n' head parallel) It was a quest for the straightest possible path to the turbo and I was still learnin the basics. Can't say anything about the air flow cuz I dont have a clue. But at 8 lbs my car made 206 Hp at the wheels on a mustang dyno. With a used star cast mani and the lil turbonetics turbo that came with it, and 12:1 FMU, tuned with a bleeder in the vacuum line and somewat rich. After I put it on and made the down pipe(stock cat N' exaust) I made 221HP, peak torque moved down to 4100 rpms from about 4650, and I could reach peak boost by 3200 rpms or so, as apposed to the original 3700-3800. Don't know what others have made with a setup like this but I was impressed by a motor that had 140K on it and used a quart of oil every 2 weeks. It wasn't ideal, but I agree that the straightest path is. You need to keep the velocity up and the pressure that builds up in the mani down.

Creative thinking? Ingenuity? Hell, It's just an obsession!
