Cant decide which I want. I have a quick spool turbo. First year for boost/ whp will be at what ever 11 PSI will get me (300-340 whp) on stock block and then the following season plan to have full rebuild with bore/sleeve. Would like to be at 430-440 on 93 pump gas at around 16 PSI and 500+ on 112 octane at around 22 PSI. I want the quick spool / mid range power but I want the “looks” and the top end power as well.
a setup looking to make 500whp on 22 psi would need a 35r with a .63 housing for quick spool.
just get a ram horn, you arnt doing anything special if you get a top mount.

There is no need for a 35R to make 500 whp at 22 PSI. Couple of people around my area have on the 3076r with a top mount/ ramhorn. One guy made 534 whp at 23PSI on 112 octane. Full boost by 4500 RPM with the 82 housing. Another one made 502 whp at 22 PSI with the 63 housing with the ramhorn.
My set up isnt “bunk” to say the least. I didnt cheap out. I just am un sure of which would be better. My integra is going to be a track car/street car which is why I am not sure If I want the quick spool/mid range power with the ramhorn, or the top end with the top mount.
equal length son!
whats the advantage of a top mount anyways… i cant really see the point…
I am running equal length Ramhorn style manifold with no problems. The issue with the top-mount will probably be heat. Unless you heat wrap it should be fine. Also you can probably get away with a full-size radiator with the ramhorn (minus the wastegate port)
As of right now (could change) but I plan to use the ramhorn. Have seen on hondatech that they do make some really good power. :rockon:
Don’t concern yourself too much with PSI numbers. Boost whatever it takes on whaatever turbo to reach the desired power. Just keep in mind the turbos efficiency range.
Top mount is easier to work with in every aspect. Easiest to have a perfect oil drain. LOTS of room for a big downpipe. Easy access to all the bolts and nuts(I can have my turbo and manifold off in 15 minutes)

For my first year of boost that is going to be stock block I have to be a lil consernd. what ever 11 PSI will get me is what I will be happy with. Hoping for 300-340ish on pump gas. If it doesnt reach that, then :shrug:
my gsr is going to be more of a street car then a track car. Dont get me wrong, It will be taken to the track alot, but will be a street car. I dont plan to make more then 530 on race gas when its built. Thats why I have chosen to go with the ramhorn which will get me that power.
Your motor wont give up according to psi, its more of the horse power level you should worry about. Make sure you get it it TUNED RIGHT. Good luck.:read:
Yes the tune is the key! My local tuner is known for his “tunes”. I am not looking to go big with my first year of my turbo build…stock block, stock bore, stock sleeves…season after :ohyeah:
build thread coming soon!
