Mate not that I can answer your question directly, but I have been advised from a top tuner that a 2wd manifold is good up to and possibly over 500 bhp. A tubular manifold is of little gain below this level so just consider that before you purchase one.

I think they are the type of product that you get what you pay for with them. Therefore I should hope that any half decent tubular manifold should be able to cope around the 600 bhp mark, with the better ones being able to handle alot higher than this.

on the rx7's a tubular maifold if a step down, u want to stick with the cast one.
tubualr is pretty but it gets red hot and the weight of the turbo then bends it down and it touches the firewall. not good.
dunno if the cosworths will do this to.

Hmm... Rx7 and Cossie very different cars and engines, but maybe it still applies, maybe.

if your going for an engine that runs more than 600bhp how can you moan about a manifold costing a grand. Its obvious you must have some disposable income to build an engine that fast in the first place lol

Just call mike rainbird and order the one on his site

when building something over 600bhp you need something thats proven..theres no point in buying something you hope will work because believe me youl get loads of grief trying to get the power and will wonder why and im talking from experience here,i paid 1495 pounds for mine to be made to find out it wouldnt allow the turb to boost more than 2 bar and was struggling at that,then every time i went out it fell apart..now iv bitten the bullet and spent money having it redone!!it now owes me over 3k..the moral of the story..buy a proven one to start with!!cheers danny
