Megan manifold questions
First Question: I bought a Megan manifold over the weekend. It was a good price and a spur of the moment thing but the kid told me it came off of a '94. So I thought I was ok. However, I've done a bit of searching and I can't find any 1.8 Megan manifolds. Did Megan make a 1.8 manifold or is there some thing I could measure on the flange to figure it out? (ie: distance between ports or mounting holes)
Second question (if it turns out to be a 1.8 manifold): I've read that a lot of people had problems with these manifolds cracking, any recommendations on where to beef it up before installation?
If its a 1.6 It'll be the classified section shortly...

You know I've often wondered if someone was making knockoff manifolds under their name. They have never officially claimed they made miata manifolds in any of their catalogs or official publications. I should have asked when I was sponsored by them, but I had other things going on at the time. The name plate that's welded on is definately consistant and basically identical with the the plates welded to the SR20 manifolds we used to get directly from them. But the manifolds we got from them had alot of gussets and braces to prevent cracking, definately on par with the JIC or DC manifolds we ran at various times. I never saw one of thoes crack, but the stuff for miatas is known for cracking constantly, and only for sale on ebay apparently. I find it odd though to try and pass it off as a Megan Racing, while my experience with them and their official products was excellent, aren't exactly known for the top of the line parts. Why not weld a FullRace plate or something on it?
The point is, unless you have a welder, pass it on.
