Wow, that is the best looking exhaust manifold

Do you have any pictures of the manifold mounted?

Huh!

Very inventive! I 've never seen a manifold that joins the runners so soon. I didn't think a tubular bottom mount manifold would be possible given the small amount of space. Great work to whomever designed that!

I would love to do a back to back dyno run to see any performance differences between this manifold and the Speedcraft style.

Basically given the fact that the firing order alternates the side that the exhaust pulse runs through it should work out pretty well...

PS - Where is that wastegate going to mount?

"Oh and guy, if your wondering where I'm going to mount the wastegate... well it will be located on the downpipe.... this way there are no interuption of flow through the manifold... Hope yall like the pics... I'd like to know what you think.... Please don't hold back...."

This set-up is way better than Speed crap log style manifold. No, offense cjb80. But lets face it log style is cheap easy way out!
Vertigo-Pro, good luck with with your set up and please show us your dyno when you are finished.

Thanks for the complements on the manifold, I will keep everyone informed on the progress of my S2K turbo project. I plan on making a kit from my past experiences with Hondas...Its going to be a fun project

Nice . I was just wondering, what would be the difference if one used a turbo with an internal wategate, instead of the external? Is it just for boost or safety?

Thanks

Internal wastegates are prone to boost creep. The difference is there is a little valve that opens after a certain amount of exhaust pressure inside of the turbo housing. Externals are more precise, and are mounted on the manifold.

Where's the dyno? I'm guessing there isn't one it this point so don't you think it's a little obnoxious on your part to say Speed crap when they are the only company to reproduce turbo set ups for the S2000 and have also posted the fastest 1/4 mile time slip. Who did they have to make fun when they did my setup... the answer is nobody because there wasn't anyone else. You're not even doing the work and you're talking smack against Speedcraft... some of you people fail to realize that there's only one thing that it takes to go fast and that's money. That is a very nice manifold but my guess is that with your turbo selection... you'll still be at a hp defecit to the Speecraft cars.
