ive found a lad to make a tubular manifold for me, says i could design it myself he says so i'll just get a few pictures realy cos i cant draw

so lets see some pics of some either on your car or somebody elses, i liked the look of the one that was on 'soy's car & the ones that sit the turbo over the gear box

cheers again

 

 

 

my old one was the same as T28's


new one is little different

 

wanted to do this myself as well. ive seen manifolds having equal length tubes,and some have unequal length tubes. on turbocharged engines, does it make much difference having equal length tubes? cheers

 

With regard to the AVA one - does it place the turbo in exactly the same position as a standard ERST cast manifold? And whats the cost on one of those?

 

yes does locate in the same place, near as damm it


cant remember the cost as i got mine years ago and had a result with it


dont think they make them for non ava custermers now as there is a hell of alot of man hours involved in making one


see something of yours down at toms today

 

Yes it places it in the same place, there was only a handfull made but a few have been sold on ebay over the years

 

How much are you looking to pay?

 

who me it depends on what im after but he says he doubt it will cost more than Ł300

 

I'm hoping its a new inlet manifold - they have been waiting for it to be fabricated. I think they are doing one similar to your old one.

Engines been there a while - had to have liners fitted to the block as it cracked number 1 bore wall quite spectacularly.

I think i'm going to get an eBay 200sx ex. manifold and modify it.

 

yeah you.


it that for st/st ?, make sure its made from 2 - 3mm wall thickness.

 

will do, cheers, anything else i should need to know before i go ahead?

 

heres a few i found on the bay for cvh's if anybody is interested.

The first is that guys from APTs one and the second does not look like a good manifold at all! Check the angle on that T3 flange. Ouch.

 

Whenever I see that pic I cant help but think "That is an awsome looking manifold"

 

the one at top of the page is a 200sx maniflod

 

The pic is a few years old but still looks fookin awesome

 

tubular manifolds/exausts--read on-
you can loose a masive amount of power with the wrong sized tubes- and the wrong bends -hence the saying a tuned exhaust-bit like the idiots that stick an massive can on the back retaining a 35 mm exhaust system!!!!or the plank who puts a off cut of exhaust pipe over a towing eye to make people think hes got a 'v' engine or to impress other clowns!lol-
dont try to make your own system with an electricians /plumbers bending machine-your wasting your time really as a lot of development goes into tube work------ask janspeed/ashley etc

 

the guy thats doing it runs his own metal fabrication company & is kitted out with propper mandrels etc, he's also about 60 years old so i doubt he's taken it up last week, i'll show you's how i get on when it gets the go ahead
