very efficient turbo setup on ap1 s2k

I just got in my Full Race manifold friday! I'm about to start the install here in the next two week's, at the same time I'm going to install my clutch. The downpipe/dumptube is gonna be fabbed up by tony1@t1 race development in rowlett,tx. It'll be vband as my turbo is vband also. The turbo is a GT3076R with a .82 AR. It's going to be stock headgasket so stock compression. I've got a couple pic's of the stuff before I start to put it on. I've still got a few item's im waiting to come or order such as the koyo radiator, b r coolant line kit, catch can, etc. I'll take install pic's along the way of both clutch and turbo kit!

pretty cool and since he was running too little boost for the setup it creeped up top. before 7500 was 5.6 psi then creeped to 8.5 by 9.

he recently become part of the powned diff club for s2000's rofl. oh well going fast has consequences in this car. still nice 400 hp on 8.5psi.

And you want a supercharger...:wack:

If you wanted power even lower you could always get the "disco potato" GT2876 :D Will come on sooner, won't make as much up top but you don't say how much power you're looking to make :mad:

[candymanjl]

thought it looked like the boost was creeping up top, manifold is pretty :)

[Almighty-Si]

Manifold is very sexy and you pay for it...LoL...full race is cha-ching !

[candymanjl]

cha-ching is right! it would be interesting to see a kit where the only difference is the manifold, see if the powerband changes, see if it's worth the money.

check out the t1 race development site, they've worked with a lot of racers, pretty cool.

I did read something on it a while ago and did see a video where they swapped manifolds on the dyno and the equal length did pick up a good amount of power over a log. The log manifold did seem to spool the turbo faster for some reason. I'll have to search for it when I go home.

On a lower boost setup like mine I don't really know how much power it picked up over the log but it for sure makes a difference on a higher boost setup.

I have seen some of tonys work, pretty damn amazing. He's got a good rep so I wouldn't be all that weary buying anything he's built.

[candymanjl]

that's probably the key, the higher the boost the higher the gain from the manifold.

[Camuman]

yeah inline pro kits come with log setup, and beyond 400whp you pick up nice gaines going to a equal length mani. he already sold the gt30 that was on the car and ordered gt35. then full 10 psi tune with out the creep. i'll post his results when he finishes.

[Almighty-Si]

Yea I can see it picking up a couple of ponies on a low boost setup but nothing substancial to justify the cost of it over a log manifold. At 10+ psi I think is when you will notice the gains and with larger turbos.

On mine, the turbo seemed to come on harder down low compared to the equal length but it seems with the equal length power comes on later. They say you improve spool time and I guess in a way that's true because with it I make like 1psi at some ridiculous rpm, 1500 or 2000 something like that but seems to stay 1-2psi from 1500 until about 4000rpm and the boost really climbs.

I like it even on my low boost setting the car does feel a ton smoother with it over the log but for a low boost setup, you can't beat the $200 price tag over the $800+ price tag of the equal length without having proof there are gains even with smaller boost.

Honestly if I had to do it again on my setup I would probably get a log or a mini ram knowing what I know now. But the plan was turning up the boost so that's why I went the way I did.
