As some of you know i have had my old engine stolen from my garage, and have just about gotten the money from the insurence when this arrived from sweeden.
Have a new head out to porting and bottom end is underway also.
Just thought i would share it with you

 

Nice and shiney.

 

Nice one

 

who is making the peter g manifolds now ???

as ummm its not peter g

 

no one really, i´m working on it right now tho
This one is slightly used, 15min i think

 

whats so good about these peter g manifolds ? ?
it does look really nice but tbh no beter than others ive seen !

 

J1mbo, they are just fantastically well made, the devil is in the detail, the collectors, the seamless entry from the flange to the pipework, that sort of thing, for a one man band outfit, its very impressive, but yes im sure people like Primary Designs etc can do just as good a job (for twice the cost)

Really talented guy, RIP

 

ah right
but tbh i dont see the diff to the ones we use .. i might grab some pics to see !

shame to hear he's dead tho

 

Ronnie, its looking good.

totally different to what you had before - hope it all works out for you this time

 

J1mbo, the ones you use are probably fantastic as well, you have to remember that your dad is one of the best in the business and as such the stuff that you view as "normal" cause he has it around all the time, is to those of us who move in less priveleged circles a really awesome bit of kit that we rarely see anything to rival.

 

Yes it is actually, but with the new plans i hope it does what the price tag was marked
But thanx m8 hope so to

 

sorry i thought peter g was like top of the top kinda thing thats kinda why i compared them !! but the peter manifold does look sweet !!

ill take a pic of a manfold we have at them moment ! its very similar actually ! im amazed at the work people can do

 

Peterg WAS top of the line, you cant compare what 2 guys do to one car, but what they do to many cars, and there was peterg a one of a kind.
Finish quality and performance of the manifolds is almost out of this world, an i know cause i have seen the results and how he did make them.
NOT telling that your dad isen´t as good as peter was.

 

Have to agree with ole chiparoo there, every peter g manifold i've seen pictures of just looks so sexual





Ginge

 

took some pics found two manifolds on the stores which are awsome ! very like the peter g ones





but this one is just mental !!!

 

can i come work for your dad as a yts promise i wont rob the stores

 

whats a yts promise ?
and no

 

youth traning scheme

 

oooh i probably shoulda known that haha

 

Ronnie, have you got any pics of the ports of the exhaust and how smooth the welding is internally etc?

 

jimbo: 2.pic is a peterg design for sure.

Aquariusrs: i will have som pics for you later

 

Sweet thankyou. At end of day its not how pretty the outside looks but the buisness on the inside that makes it perform the way it does.

 

Excatly

 

sencond pic isnt peterg design .. the old man designed it and got it made by the company

 

Which company?
Didnt Martin Hadland have something similar made by Primary Designs

 

couldnt tell ya .. not cause i dont want to i dont know

martin had his made in inconel by primary designs ..

 

Jimbo,

Three things.

1)Who is your old man and what is his business called?

2)I see you use Fastway couriers. I did too until my local franchise went bust.

3)And finally, what alarm is triggered at 2 bar?

Doug

 

1) i cant say that ill get banned
2) he uses many !
3) wtf are you on about

 

Give us a clue? Can't get banned for dropping hints.

Last picture you posted, under the manifold the note book says " alarm coming on... triggers at 2 bar"

 

You are based in Peterborough. Last name isn't Gibbs is it?

 

1/ SCS
2/ Don't know
3/ It's written in the diary

 

i run the risk of a life time ban


the alarm is top secret if i told you id have to kill you

So your name is Harvey Jimbo?

 

id deff take my car there !


pmsl

 

ooops

 

Well peter havent got a web side anymore, but the flanges the way the ext wg is positioned, the special bends and the weldings etc is extremely the same design that peter did almost 2 years ago now, but he could have copied it from your dad then...

aquariusrs : last pics here

 

Wow. Looks really tidy on the inside compared to some other manifolds iv seen for different applications. Very nice piece, I hope it serves you and your purpose well

 

This is the last design peter made to cosworth, this one was made for track spec engines, which gave a small peak in mid-range


This one is for a saab 9000 turbo
