Hey Chris what's been happining any up dates on the manifold?

I finally have got motivated enough to get some material to do one myself :-)

The manifold I'm making will be the same low mount design as stock .

I have found a good way to cut merges on the band saw at work

I'm using 36 nominal nominal bore pipe who's is the 3mm wall so 42 od

I'm going with 4 into one collecter ( when u examine the stock mani u will under stand why I went with the 4 instead of 6 into one )

For my merge I'm going with a 20 degree cut angle as well

The manifold will be made out of 304 ss and fully perged for maximum strength an reliability

Ideally I want to sit pretty much in exactly the same spot as factory :-)

Although There will be a lot of test fitting and trial and error

I'm hoping all goes well :-) any pointers?

Also I pulled the head off a facked rb20 I had and was gunna bolt the mani to that when welding hopefully it will suck some the heat and won't distort too much

All the best

Bejay

    • I vote go red. Only because I hate keeping gloss black clean. Was no worries helping out either! Glad you've survived the rain outs of QLD
    • I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
    • Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.
    • No clips on this one like the other connector. Only that red tab that I can push slightly up.
