Red hot HF manifold
 

Ok, when i rode with my friend in his turboed crx we lifted the hood one time, and saw a Blazing Hot HF manifold????

I was like OMG, and just was thinking what would cause that?

RIP:STING's Z6 Hhahahha MIKE!!

nice, i've seen a slight glow from the turbo and some of the manifold before but not bright and not the whole thing. sounds like his EGTs were a little high. whats his setup? timing?

Re:Red hot HF manifold
 

Well it must not have been running right, i have no clue on the timing, ur saying that it was running rich??

Re:Red hot HF manifold
 

that was happening to my car too...but i wa to amazed by the glowing light i saw through my grill.....i felt cool

Re:Red hot HF manifold
 

Quite normal for the manifolds to glow a bit, they can even start glowing on unmodified N/A cars if you push them hard.

Re:Red hot HF manifold
 

you got problems if your manifolds are glowing red hot. I would suggest improving the exhaust system (bigger, free flowing/dumping the cat).

timing? water pump?

need to fix that ---- before he fucks something up

My CAT was glowing sooo red...it was NA...kinda stock...lighter flywheel...chipped ecu

Re:Red hot HF manifold
 

running to lean causing exhaust temps to rise or too rich causing fuel to actually ignite inside exhaust.

^^^^^^^^yup i had that my fmu was too rich and sometimes would shoot out a 5-6 foot fireball out the skunk2 exhaust with no catalatic converter :o that was badass i used it to scare old people. man i miss my old car :'(

My D15b2's stock manifold was glowing like that after I sprayed it to 130mph, then the engine shut off. I went to reset the ECU and saw the manifold, it was almost see though, hehe. little D15 started back up and took another 3 more bottles off nitrous, until I swapped it out for a D16Z6.

My turbo set-up doesn't do that. My freinds 2G DSM would do that with the old T-25 after about 2 hard runs ( from a cold start ).
