Hi, this may have been asked before so sorry if it has.

Whats the best exhaust manifold for the escort rst? ive got a stage 2 turbo on the way and my head has just been ported with bigger valves etc so now looking for the best mani to go with it all.
Its all going on my engine im rebuilding.

Thanks

 

AVA, without doubt mate

 

the one you have wont be restricted yet

 

As above....no need to change from the standard one!

 

but

if one was to come up i would get a ava manifold again, awesome bit of kit with a lot gone into its making

then a hansen one not seen how they work on a relative stock engine but certainly worked well on mk's little fiesta

 

for most stock mannys dont need to be changed

 

standard one all the way to 400bhp

 

wont you still see a difference tho

depending on whats its designed to do it should make a difference to the mass produced jobbie

granted it will do 400bhp

 

hard part is getting 400bhp from a cvh

 

Standard manifold for sure at your level!!

 

but mr c wouldnt you be able to see a difference in how it will spool / rev / boost levels etc

i know its not neededbut its just another way of doing things

 

alright then cheers everyone standard one it is then

 

I personally don't think there's any benefit atall at 200bhp. I think you may start to see the benefits at 300bhp though.

 

with some tweeking they have seen 350+, standard manny is plenty good enough

 

you're only saying that cos you've just got one

 

from what i have seen and heard i have to agree with gus, AVA are very good

 

Did someone mention AVA manifolds

 

 

get it out from under the bed and sold

 

any pics of the AVA mani? cheers

 

i would have an ava or a hansen for sure .... thats what im saving for.
