PHR Log manifold

Has anyone on here used one of power house racing log manifolds for a single turbo conversion?

I have one on mine with my PHR turbo kit

I went with the SPA log manifold as I felt it was a much better design

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?

Interesting! What was it about the design that made you choose SPA over the PHR?

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

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

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.

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.

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

I'll be at Pod too so will catch up with you and get a listen to it

Log Manifolds give off less heat generally too if I'm correct don't they?

 

 

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

More heat I thought mate.

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

 

 

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

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.

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

Thanks fella sounds like just what I need. Been hearing good things about the link ECU's also. Out of interest who did you get to do the mapping?

Thanks frank, looks a nice bit of kit

Same mapper I'm using. Greg @ Pro-Tuner.

Which Link G4+ model do you have mate?

I have the supralink plug in

So... decided to go single have you!? Thought you were happy with the hybrid setup? Or are you just fed up of being neck and neck when racing my auto?

I might take that downpipe mate.
