New Manifold and DP
4 Attachment(s)
In the quest for more power and better spool I needed a new manifold and definitely a better down pipe. Wayne Curr is hooking it up with a replica Absurd flow manifold. I would've gone with Tim but he dosen't make 1.6 stuff. I've already talked to Tim and he's cool with us replicating his. Tim's design is IMO the best design for spool and top end.
Before and after dyno numbers coming soon. Attachment 200012 Attachment 200013 Attachment 200014 Attachment 200015 __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |
cool beans. im itching to see the before and after dyno #s but more so the spool characteristics

Do Want!

This should flow way better than my old cast mani and down pipe. __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |
Very nice! You're definitely going to notice a difference with this.

Wow that looks awesome. Im really looking forward to see the new number as well.
|
Very nice. I've got something similar on my bench and a new tank of argon in my back seat for the snow day tomorrow.
EDIT: I could do 1.6 manifolds, just not the downpipes, and not for wayne curr's price. |
Are you going to convert to an external wastegate?

Not at the moment, I probably will eventually though. __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |

Or another like you made for me. I can't wait to finish putting my motor together and test my new one out

After that fourth photo above- is the next step for the flange ends to cut them straight across to fit flush on the flange face, or will there be more pipe making the connection to the flange? And isn't now the time to build the EWG setup given the project is in the works? Seems like the built engine and high boost are just asking for it. :D

Well start making them cause this is the first and last for me lol.

It definitely takes some serious time getting all 4 pipes pointed where they should be pointed. Off just a hair on the collector means off a bunch at the head flange. You'll be looking good while everything's tacked, then as you weld things may move (more with stainless). Then you smoosh the primaries into ovals...whoops things moved again. Fun stuff! |

What? It's a simple straight cut. What can be so hard about it? I ram horn is sooo much harder to build........ :jerkit: People have no idea.

Stoked for before/after numbers. I bet you pick up 25whp and 500rpm of spool.

Althought I spent all afternoon working on it, the pictures I took dont make it look any different than the original ones in the first post so i'm not going to bother uploading them.
I lengthened runners 2 and 3. Doing this meant I had to re fit the collector so the runners matched the ports in the flange. After all that I took the dremel and spent some quality time smoothing and deburring everything on the inside. I'm trying to make it as perfect as I can since all eyes are now on this project =P |
