intresting and simple manifold on ebay... questions about it.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33742
anyone know what they used for the main pipe section (guess i could call it a collector but use that term loosely).
anyone use one of these?

Re:intresting and simple manifold on ebay... questions about it.
it looks like he just used steel square box tubing for the "collector" part...
I am sure it would work fine, although I dont like the design, all the gasses are pushed into the square plenum then they will find there way to the turbo as the path of least resistance, but the cylinder on the left has to push its way past all the rest of the gas... at least on the standard weld el manifold the gasses are directed a little bit towards where they need to go...

i wont name names, he will let him self be known if he wants...

Re:intresting and simple manifold on ebay... questions about it.
i'll agree it doesn't appear to be a great design... but this is something i'd have no problems fabbing at home... could prob use a round pipe instead of the square and that would make it more effective... but then again working w/ round piping isn't near as simple for drilling.
i'm sure i could do the weld-el type manifold also... but that has a lot more prep work that has to be done.

The lowest I'd go is weld-els. The exhaust manifold design is WAY more important than a lot of people make it seem. I can't believe how many people put an external wastegate that only vents from the #1 cylinder. it's crazy!

Re:intresting and simple manifold on ebay... questions about it.
This is definitely one bad @$$ manifold!!!
think about what your waste gate is doing.. why the ---- would you put it on just one runner
i guess if your just selling them and not using them on your own car or something.
