edlebrock kit always you to keep your a/c

not sure about greddy.

Basically.. you want a log manifold

Perfect anyone know where i can pick up a Gready kit from? And its complete right? If not to people know what and whats not included. And...do any of our Affaliates carry it?

chris_si98

go to the affiliates page and start calling around.

The only thing I would recommend is better fuel management

Thanks bro...one more thing, before i start calling aorund do you know aprox. how much these kits go for? Is it cheaper to make my own and just buy a gready manifold?

chris_si98

definately cheaper to customize your own kit.

You don't need a greddy manfiold. weirTech on the boards does his own fabrication (he makes manifolds, downpipes, charge piping) you can go to him for all your work.. depending on what you want (type of mani, size of DP, etc) your looking at MAX $1000.. unless you want something crazy like a ramhorn. If not.. on average it'll probably be around $600-800(depending on if what you want made).. but talk to him more about what he charges, i'm just speaking in general. Depending on what turbo you want.. prices vary greatly from $300-$1500.. depends on condition, trim,etc. Then of course you add a blow off valve, larger injectors, possibly a few gauges, turbo timer, oil lines, intercooler, couplers, misc. vac. lines, wastegate, boost controller (some of this stuff is extra)

In the end you can spend around $2200 (which is around what the greddy kit goes for) and you can have a way more powerful kit, that was pieced together by you. But then you have to grab an obd1 ecu, socket it and tune it.. I would pm zeeman about that.. his prices are great. A professional usually charges 600+ to fully dyno tune, socket your ecu, etc.

In the end.. you will spend a bit over $3000 for a very powerful, reliable kit. PLus you need clutch kit, upgraded brakes, larger exhaust, blah blah blah.. all that is extra and your choice.

goto H-T, you can order a log manifold that allows you retain a/c and turbo you car...

Damn this shyt sounds so hectic. Most likly im just going to end up putting everything together myself. I head that with the Gready kits you can push out about 8psi max. Regardless i want to keep my AC. Most likly ill just endup getting someone making a custom manifold for me. As for the turbo i was thinking something along the lines of a t3 unles anyone has any objections? lol.

chris_si98

how much power you want?

real quick spooling? moderate? be more specific.

t3/t4 .57 trim is a pretty popular choice for around the 250whp mark

I just want something moderate, the cars my daily driver for the summer. Whats the main difference between the t3/t4?

You don't always need a log manifold. For example Full Race makes Ram Horn manifolds that are A/C compatible.

i can build you a manifold that will keep your a/c. here is one i'm working on right now.
