Ive just got my new manifold back and put it all together the car is nearly finished thank god! What do ya reckon on the manifold?

I'm liking that.

 

bloddy hell mate what a crackin engine bay!!!

 

nice! where and how much for summit like that?

 

big wig 074 you have pm

 

very nice

 

Cool

 

Dito

Is that a MTX75 box I spy?

 

Yeah where from mate and is that a mtx75 coz i'd like some info on that too

 

Very nice m8 bet thats gonna be a beast.

 

The manifold costs around Ł600 depending on application, it was made by a company called powerspeed based in ashford in kent ive got a number for them if anyone is interested. As for the gearbox it is a mtx75 casing with series 2 lsd and uprated internals done by a company called gear torque and costed a fortune!! but was guaranteed to take 300bhp.

 

pacificzetecturbo,

How you doing dude motors looking wicked



The gearbox in the pic is not a MTX75 tho as far as i can see. It looks like the mk6 escort diesel box Also the internals from a MTX wont fit in that box or vice versa and an MTX has no bolt fixings on the casing

Nice one;D I was wonder is it big difference ( I talking about horse power) between serial manifold from Rst and manfiold for Rst but done for the order

 

Well im only going on what i was advised by from a well known tuner in essex that it will not make over about 260-270bhp on the std manifold and that the best route to take to get more power would be to get a tubular manifold. Im sure people will have mixed opinions on this but hey its different aint it.

Also the gearbox i am led to belive is a mk5 escort casing what ever numbers ford gave them i dont know, i phoned up for a gearbox to take 300bhp, handed over some cash and thats what i got.

 

tubular is the way to go dont know how restrictive the standard manifold is simpsonrace exhausts done my manifold helps the engine breath alot better giving the Ability to rev

 

looking good m8 the manifold looks a lot like the one i build for my rst

 

This is an MTX75 in a series two

 

Init just
Dammm maytee that does look and not just the MTX75!!!
CGI block wheres the head?

 

Heads on it, or at least I hope it is still

 

how much did you pay that CGI block m8?

 

I got the block, steel rods and motorsport pistons all brand new for a very good knocked down price.

Brand new from Mountune you will pay in the region of 5k for this in parts, but i didnt even pay a quarter of that for it Somebody had it all needed money desperatly and there I was needing an engine was in the right place at the right time

It was the price of the engine build that got me

 

This has to be Mr Smith nice engine mate. Havent seen this car yet, Dave said he will have to do deals with you once you are fed up with it.

 

hello ian it wont be long till its done, im sure at some point dave will end up owning it, we always tend to have a swap around.
