Extensive work? please elaborate. I dont think this kit involves anything special. If anything, it is one of the kits that involves the least work since no oil filter relocation is necessary.

 

What I'm thinking. Seems like a simple setup. Add a gt35 and I'll be able to do what ever I want down the road. I'm not trying to disrespect anybody in any way. I just don't see how this kit isn't exactly what I need based on what I've seen in peoples build thread.

 

No one is trying to hate on the setup you're going after. The bottom line is that to get the power you are after, you simply don't need the divided housing turbo, or manifold to get there.

There's a thread about a month ago that went into a lengthy discussion about how the divided housing turbo setup don't start to really shine until you get into GT40 or bigger territory. In one of the cases, they actually discovered that the turbo was having hard time making the power that they expected with a twinscroll, but when they switch back to a none divided housing setup, they made the power they expected with ease.

I think Joey with the GT35R is an exception, he made great power with his twin setup, but I've not seen anyone else put up any good numbers other than Joey. Perhaps is because he was tuned on Meth as well?

Either way, with a GT35 on the S2000, you can make the type of power you're after with or without that divided setup.

 

Ok I can agree with that. If numbers prove the setup is designed for larger turbo's I can't argue. With that being said, if I was to get another manifold what would you recommend? Something maybe a step up from a log.

 

Read this thread before you buy anything:

As someone said before, your cold piping is not going to fit the AFI kit. You'd have to get something custom fabbed for sure.

Stick with what you have and try to make more power. There's no reason to just throw money at the car without any power goals in mind. If you just want a little over 400 rwhp, what you have can probably get you there. There are PLENTY of guys on this forum making 400+ on log manifolds.

 

And definitely go ball bearing turbo... Its definitely worth it IMO.

 

My car made 457/275 with my Inline pro log kit, 2mm head gasket and only 16 pounds of boost. I'm not running 17-18 pounds daily.

 

Let this do the talking.

This is the dyno plot at 15-16psi I believe with a gt3076
on AFI's time attack car. Stock compression.

Max torque before 5k rpm with 300 + lb-ft by 4k rpm

 

Sure it makes good power but it doesn't change the fact that two members have installed it with fitment problems. One of which spent over $1k if I remember correctly to re-fit and custom install the exhaust pieces because it wasn't working.

From Ckit:

[QUOTE]Same thing here.

 

reading about this manifold reminds me of the pic above.


after the previous two members experience with afi mani, i would stay far away from it.
