I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

I don't see how a log style manifold would fit in that engine bay. Jotech is using an equal length manifold on a tc, and they are making almost 600hp if they haven't done it already.

Looks to me like a log-style manifold would fit, especially if the dimensions inside the tC engine bay mimic the Camry it shares it's platform with, tons of room.

All of that volume would create lag, yes, but it seems that "the scene" cares less and less about lag as time goes by. Turbos and Intercoolers are getting ever larger, manifolds more volumous, Cr.s lower, BOVs more wasteful, etc. Some of it can be chalked up to poor engineering, sure, but some is indifference. There is still a small group of speed junkies who sees the "power under the curve" light though, an elite clan who understands my reasoning behind using an aquamist system over a front-mount.

Sorry for the rant, but it's early (too early) and I'm hopped up on Coffee.

the white tC in the video I know of. He lives down in Miami. His car is sick. He has been in HIN Miami and will probably be at Otown. His turbo is so nice and that exhaust is something else. Nice guy too...
