manifolds

im going to enquire about getting the manifolds done i spoke to the andy(zorstec) last time but ive lost the e-mails re: specs etc so i need opions on id diameter,equal length or unequal length and pics of manifold designs if there is any lol just want to get as much done as poss before it goes back to the rollers

i might be tempted to get an external wastegate fitted aswellor screamer pipe depending on price

I'd look at getting your clutch well and truly sorted first!

clutch will be sorted all in good time just another quick question what is the id of the standard manifolds

A few mm less than the OD.

need exact measurements

peterg is your man, his head is in bits at the moment.

Peter Had one of your championship competitors round the other day he as a nice Ferrari and a T2

He had a Noble before the 430..

think hes slling the ferrai to get a lambo

what about the manifolds dave??????? need some tech info

Ah yes....you'll be talking about Tony jameson Allen....he is a top bloke. He only just got the Ferrari this year!!! He needs to spend more time making his T2 work first I think
I'm not actually removing the manifolds incase the studs snap...the bolts look welded on and fragile......sorry!
I dont think the manifolds are the main problem...its the chunk of pig iron under the turbo with siamesed intake port that will defeat any efforts with the manifolds. The other problem is the location of the trubo. Its always going to be too hot and restricted where it is.

[simontaylor]

How about swapping the manifold over and then we can mount the turbo at the rear end of the engine

The outlet ports from the head are 33mm inlet diameter and the link pipe that lead to the turbo are 38mm diameter. As you can see, straight away there is a problem, as there are 3 33mm ports and only one 38mm link pipe..(and 38mm is horrendous to start with)

As Peter said, just doing the manifolds is pointless. You need to have a new 2 into 1 turbo backplate made also, and this all needs flexijoints otherwise its all going to crack the moment any serious heat goes through it..

when he qouted me a price last time i think that inclueded the lot manifolds turbo back plate and flexi joints he said the flexi joints were expensive i will have to have another ride up and see if he can work his magic on the gta i know hes good at what he does he also designed and builds the manifolds for holeshot racing
