New manifold build, comments?
#21
^^ when the exhaust pulse from the cylinder hits the collector, a negative wave will be transmitted back and help with extraction (on a n/a car, this will make great difference) on a turbo car, it will merely help a little with spool, so it is not very important, the shaping of the collector does matter a lot more. As soon as you start to build boost (and backpressure) the negative wave becomes irrelevant. Anyway, the trick is to get the wave to hit the exhaust valve at the right moment, just before closing. I was just wondering really, being interrested in this ****
oh yeah, equal lenght is about the same, matters when there is a lot of pulsing (before spool), matters a lot less when backpressure hits.

actually it will not be a equal length manifold it is hopefully just going to be a better flowing one. that is my main desired outcome. i'll keep the pictures coming and of course some vids when done.

fo sho, the thing looks awesome too man, i can wait to see the ceramic coat on it, i think i'll want to hump it
****, i know i'll want to hump it, hell i want to hump you right now
i think ill have a little bit of free time this weekend, i may pop my header off and take some measures to get an idea for my build...im sure you'll be there

this is how far I got till now it is starting to look like a real manifold now. i'll keep updating as i go. hopefully it is looking good. still got to finish up the welding on the collector but it will sit in this position.
P.S and yes the turbo is going to be clocked down. hood won't close if i leave it.
enjoy

WOW. what a difference between the log style and this thing. i mean the response is stupid good. i will post some pictures tomorrow but man it was worth the time.
no more boost issues i set it at 11 and it stays at 11. i believe the collector helps a lot. i could not get out of the damn car drove around for 3 hrs but gas prices are pretty high so i had to cool off a bit. if you know what i mean.
pics are on the way.
