Default YB Exhaust Manifold for a EFR

Any recommendations for someone who can make an Exhaust manifold to fit a EFR turbo on to a YB.

Not going on a sierra and i really dont think the MAD one would fit unless someone wants to loan me one to try.

James at Nortech Performance custom made my twin scroll manifold for my yb Westfield.

Fits beautifully but haven't used it yet.

If it's the same engine as a mk1 escort it fits. Custom manifolds try Mike Edwards exhaust or primary desgines. There are many exhaust people in the U.K. You could use.

It's a bit tighter as it's space framed on the front, do you have any approximate measurements of your manifold in relation to the head, I could may be have a measure up to see how close it is.

What EFR are you going for? My one is in a Pug 205 shell and I have the 7076 internally gated which gives more room. I can do pics and measurements too if needed. Suffolk is a long way off but you are welcome to come and take any measurements you like. I saw your car at Ford Fair...lovely piece of kit.


By the looks of your photo, mine would fit

I reckon mine would fit for sure. Mike Edwards is highly recommended. Shame about Nortech as they did a great job.

That is a work of art, I'd buy one for that reason alone!
