berg Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I have one on mine with my PHR turbo kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladerider Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I went with the SPA log manifold as I felt it was a much better design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 I have one on mine with my PHR turbo kit How do you rate it? Did you buy the street torque kit or just the manifold and down pipe? How's the spool up and what sort of torque figures are you getting bud? I went with the SPA log manifold as I felt it was a much better design Interesting! What was it about the design that made you choose SPA over the PHR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Mines perfect I have the street torque kit yer with the 6266 which is currently 620hp and 575lbs/ft I have the larger 1.00A/R housing on my turbo and spool is still awesome full boost by around 3500rpm roughly I read they have had 800hp out of their log manifold before it started to become restrictive which is why I chose it over a tubular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind me asking what size injectors and ECU you are running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Sounds spot on for my goals. Do you mind me asking what size injectors and ECU you are running? I have I.D1000 injectors and a Link G4+ I absolutely love it to be fair, in the dry I can get full traction in every gear and that’s with the link traction control off Perfect street setup in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 What do you make of the sound berg? I’ve got the Whifbitz one and I think it sounds different to that of a tubular....so much so that I’m considering changing it out in the future.

HarleyFDMD Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I have heard good things about the PHR log manifolds. They machine out the wastegate port more than the cheaper copies to aid the prevention of boost spiking - something they initially suffered with. The street torque kit uses a pt6266 and a pw46. I was going to buy one untill i found a tubular VWR manifold that i bought. Regarding the sound from a log manifold, i have heard people say they sound a bit V6 like... particularly the whifbitz ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Sound wise I haven’t really had anything to compare it to so I can’t comment on it VS a tubular But in my opinion it sounds epic, and definitely doesn’t sound like a V6 that’s for sure I’ll be running at pod on Saturday I think you can now order any size precision turbo with the street torque kit up to a 6870 size and they will adjust wastegate size to suit I had the choice of a 62, 64 or 67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Log Manifolds give off less heat generally too if I'm correct don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I got the same manifold as berg, I did my single conversion 2 years ago. I'm running a borg warner s362 1.0 ar It sounds epic, like a jet on boost, although that's down to the screamer pipe! Full boost circa 3500rpm, and pulls all the way to the red line. The only thing I prefer with the spa manifold, is that the wastegate is placed on top, rather than underneath (from memory). This would make accessing it much easier Here's how my turbo sits in the bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 More heat as cast can't be wrapped, but could be ceramic coated. I made a polished aluminium heat shield for mine, lined with fire blanket underneath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 For MOT, the PHR cast manifold will take an OE CAT If I was purchasing I would definitely get it heat coated , think is is around 100 dollars ; PHR can get it done prior shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I've got the PHR Street Torque kit too and had all the parts painted and the turbo polished in the US before shipping. If anyone is buying just the manifold and wants the PHR 3" downpipe mine will be coming off very early next year as I've had a 3.5" downpipe and midpipe made, just need to get rest of exhaust made.

Frank Bullitt Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 FSR Motorsport in the US do a really nice cast manifold if you wanted something slightly different - http://fsrmotorsports.com/component/virtuemart/?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=129&category_id=22&Itemid=87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
