I WANT TO DO A CUSTOM KIT AND I WANTED TO KNOW WHERE I COULD GET A MANIFOLD AND INTERCOOLER.. I DONT NEED PIPING I GOT A PRETTY BAD ASS SPONSOR SO I JUST NEED TO GET A INTERCOOLER AND MAINAFOLD.. IAM SHOOTING FOR AROUND 350HP ITS GOIN TO BE A DAY DRIVER I WANTED TOP MOUNT MANIFOLD

I DONT KNOW WHERE TO GET THE OIL LINES EITHER IF SOME ONE COULD HELP THAT WOULD BE GREAT..

 

CANT YOUR BAD ASS SPONSER HOOK YOU UP WITH A MANIFOLD AND INTERCOOLER? oups i put a question mark on that... should have kept it an open sentence... and make it run on for a paragraph!

search the forums, almost every kit ever made will make 350, depending on if its at the wheels you might need a lower compression HG as well? Why the need for a top mount? You could spec out the lines from Earls, or you could buy a oil line kit, with sandwich plate from the oil cooler etc...

 

Top mount mani is nice and provides easy access to the turbo / lines / etc., which is why I'd go that way if I had it to do over. Custom, Pfab or Lovefab are the ones I've read most often.

If you go bottom mount mani, I recommend Full-race, and be sure to specify that you want a V-band housing on the turbine instead of the usual 4 bolt setup. Also recommend bracing the turbo / downpipe to the hole that was left vacant when you removed the lower brace (aka "stay")on the factory header. You can go InlinePro with a cast iron log manifold which may be a better fit for your needs (less horsepower per PSI boost, but lower likelihood of cracks).

Precision has a great intercooler. Your call on whether you mount it low & in front of the frame rails or if you notch the frame rails (and intercooler tabs) allowing you to recess it and retain the factory grille protection.

I have an intercooler for sale in the "for sale" section. bar and plate 22x11x3" core. 2.5" inlet/outlet

 

rev hard sells a cast manifold that's only like 2 or 3 hundred. Not a bad deal but not top mount.

 

i have the lovefab mini-me manifold. havn't put it in yet but the welds and everything looks really strong...

 

Quite a few of the MiniMes have cracked.

Mine cracked below the turbo flange and about 270 degrees around.

 

While were on the subject , which manifold is the most "user friendly" in terms of non-frame notching and reliability?

 

go to www.stealthmodeperformance.com for your oil lines. steve is the man and can hook you up.

 

shhhh don't mention the minime cracking. I don't need anymore problems
