Low Mount Manifold Options

[Mick_o]

So I see...

Those pics posted up by Callan look like a pretty setup, but don't appear to improve serviceability. Low mount fabricated manifold is difficult to give a rational thumbs up.

If it's just for appearance or to satisfy a personal whim then good luck to the OP. If the aim is to get honest, experience based opinion for low mount and low key appearance then I would follow Mick-o's lead.

Dale was 1 of the few people to drive my car. Did you think there were any areas where my car could've improved? Edited May 10, 2014 by Mick_o

Haha that happened to me just before scrutineering once. Pulling it off (as in removing) looked like it was being pulled off. Lots of laughs.

I think Wolverine's point is clear. As a whole package, Mick's 33 powertrain was difficult to fault. That would include the E85 fuel system as a complement to the turbo system. Compact, almost stock looking, and so damn savage when given the boot, yet quiet and unassuming when not.

The only thing I would think likely to improve that particular combination would have been a RB30 bottom end purely for the off-idle and off-boost torque but that's off on a tangent. That RB25 was a damn good combination that can be readily bought/built up because the bits are not rare. It's not like the OEM cast manifold couldn't flow enough to make the numbers, or as if it was not driveable. A half competent bloke could probably make further small gains with a die grinder smoothing the sharp bumps in the primaries but it's hardly essential.

Yes it did sound good from what I was told . Dirty 30 would have made the bottom end pretty effortless overall but then again Neos aren't shabby either .

When keeping the std RB25 block - nah this needs a stock block thread .
