I looked under the bonnet of my car last night and could see part of the exhaust manifold glowing red?is this normal om s2 rst?or is there something wrong?

 

That would be because you've been giving it load's

 

oh right i was told the turbo would glow red?so nothing to worry about.thanks!

 

I wouldn’t be too concerned if you were giving it loads. This is what my Exh manifold looks like at the end of a 8 second power run on the chassis dyno

 

Would running lean also make the manifold get that hot?

Just a thought, before something melts!?

 

indeed it would...........

 

My fuel mixtures are fine mate (I mapped my own engine), thanks for the concern mate As stated above; a lean mixture would cause an increase in Exh gas temp, also overly retarded ignition timing would have the same effect too.

Realistically id say that my Exh manifold tends to glow so quickly cos it’s made from 1.6mm wall section stainless steel. I have had the manifold on the engine for approx 3 years now with no problem what so ever. Another bonus of the Exh manifold is that it is so light compared to the stock cast iron 2wd item.

 

Sorry, i meant onslows car might be running lean...
Didnt want him to be ragging it about, thinkin its all good and end up melting a piston or something...

Hows the saff going btw??

 

Sorry to get off topic

Saff’s ok. I actually drove it today for the first time this month (I have been very ill ). I have a custom made strut brace that I need to fit (we can’t buy them here in Aus like you guys can) and have had a custom made carbon fibre air box that I need to fit too.

If I don’t end up in hospital again I want to take my Saff down the 1/4 to see what I can squeeze out of the T28 on a pair of “Street slicks”. Hopefully I will be able to go in a month or two

 

Very nice manifold!!! Do you make them to sell and if so...how much including p&p to uk???


CheeRS,

Thanks Stu , A friend of mine (Jim Cowden) fabricated my Int and Exh manifolds. Yes he does sell them and has sent manifolds abroad. Your best email him direct with your questions. Be shore to let him know what turbo “flange” (T28, T3 etc) is required etc etc.

His email is……….. Jim_Cowden@Hotmail.com

 

This is a good talking about the dynamometer!!I learn a lot more about dynamometer here,I like it.
I search Yahoo for long time and find here.By the way I found some content on another website about it.Also,you can find some other on it,such as bespoke software or vacation home rentals florida or florida vacation home rentals.
LOL!Good job and go on talking plz,boys
