probably wouldnt affect the spool to much, as the 16g spools instantly anyway. but im sure it would help the top end a good bit. plus it would look alot better, and help to get some of the kenny strickler taint out of the engine bay.

Log Manifod + 16G = Fast spooling

Big Tube manifold + 16G = Untested and speculations on spooling difference.

here ya go travis. i know its not exactly the same turbo setup. but i hope this gives you an idea of how much of a differance in spool time there is.

Well, that was also testing an EL tubular mani. This one is not exactly EL, but yeah, we can assume a slowing spooling of a few hundred RPM.

I know Travis would only be interested in track times (as would we all) but I would LOVE to see a comparative dyno sheet before and after the TT ZPI replacement mani.

To many variables....need to have 2 of the same cars, same driver, track conditions etc. But anyways.......

but I would LOVE to see a comparative dyno sheet before and after the TT ZPI replacement mani.
Its going to happen...there are a few members of this board who will be doing some comparisons.

I tend to like to see it on the actual setup in question. Sorry for me being a little more particular.

From the looks of it, the wg would not be in the same spot. But this IS the demo piece, so a lot remains to be seen.

Not in the same spot...no way to make that happen.

Out of respect for my fellow competitor I have put that aside.

This manifold > log manifold.

anyone who understands the purpose of a manifold and the flow characteristics of each design should know this.

Log manifolds are easier to make and they work....thats the ONLY reason why you seem them.

This manifold (assuming its properly matched with the right turbo and supporting mods ie. 3" DP, full exhaust and properly tuned) will spool practically just as quick, with less surging and more stable PSIs.

Log Manifolds will spool the turbine faster due to having shorter runners. This is why I want to know how this manifold will work in conjunction with the small 16G. This isn't just a manifold you know, it's for replacing the manifold in the ZPI kit, which most people using ZPI kits are running 16G turbines.

I should have a finished product by this weekend..but no promises.

In the $550.00 range

Seeing as how my manifold is warped and the welds are cracking, I think I'll have to get one of these soon - looks absolutely gorgeous

so, you think because the exhaust has a shorter distance to travel, that means the turbo spools up more quickly?? Not necessarily. Yes, logs will spool fast (and your boost will creep) ....that doesn't mean a properly designed EL tubular manifold won't. Eliminating pulse overlap and providing a smooth unrestricted flow to the turbine makes for quick spooling as well.

Get it yet?

Logs will spool a turbo. EL tubular spools it the right way.

Jesus, look at Rado's turbo manifold on the time attack car.....doesn't look like he had any issues with slow spool up.
