What would you pay for a manifold that will never break?
Im just wondering if we could get a general consensus on what the average person would pay for a turbo manifold for a B-series and possibly D-series engine that would be pretty much gauranteed not to crack. The design would be like a short tubular manifold. If the location of where these welds are would crack with would cost almost nothing to repair it. Let me know what you guys think. Because I am trying to get some info on the possibility of a manifold made on a CNC machine.

$175.00 shipped, a/c compatible.

Re:What would you pay for a manifold that will never break?
The only manifolds that break are SS autoshit, all the rest are pretty much never going to break. So yeah, $150 to $175.

Re:What would you pay for a manifold that will never break?
there have already been manifolds made on cnc machines..made in two pieces and bolted together, looked kinda cool

Re:What would you pay for a manifold that will never break?
What something like this?
https://www.homemadeturbo.com/misc/mana/man1.jpg https://www.homemadeturbo.com/misc/mana/man2.jpg https://www.homemadeturbo.com/misc/mana/man3.jpg https://www.homemadeturbo.com/misc/mana/man4.jpg https://www.homemadeturbo.com/misc/mana/man5.jpg https://www.homemadeturbo.com/misc/mana/man6.jpg A guy on HMT tried selling this along time ago, he couldnt get the price low enough. It was around 400 bucks. Whitey's right, its really only the SS autochrome mani that breaks. All the log manis and most other custom ones dont break because they arnt using taiwan 25 gauge stainless shitsteel like the obx/ssautochrome. People want equal length manifolds that are cheap, people want manifolds that look crazy. ---- like this http://www.crpturbo.com/medusa/img2.jpg Jeff |
Re:What would you pay for a manifold that will never break?
that CNC manifold looks like complete ----! and that tubularone looks crazy! :-*

That CNC manifold looks like a glorified log manifold. Nothing will ever replace tubular merge collected manifolds as the best |
Re:What would you pay for a manifold that will never break?
that log manifold looks tight
but ---- that equal length one, that thing looks like something that belongs in a hair brush. The wildest I'd ever go is something like the "g-girth beta2 drag volume 3 prototype ls/vtec tt beau dp model 3030303039934434ver2.20.11.b2 chapater 4 level b size 10 side a-3" er...yeah. btw, ---- that study where they swapped the log for a equal length then the log produced just as nice as the equal length then at 4500rpms the equal length gained 50hp...my ------ ass... (points out vtec wasn't there on the first run) nathan |
Re:What would you pay for a manifold that will never break?
you weren't at the dyno so you don't know whether or not vtec was there. the problem could have been that the extra exhaust gasses exiting the engine due to the larger vtec cam weren't effectively managed by the log manifold. or it could be that the log had a shitty tune.

Re:What would you pay for a manifold that will never break?
there is no way that a log manifold will give the same performance as a equal length one. equal length will always give more hp.

bingo. But its more the merge collection than the equal length that gives the power |

Re:What would you pay for a manifold that will never break?
the crp manifold that Jeff posted is pretty coo, lil touvh much going on for me, I think the sst and the ramhorn mani's seem to flow and look the best. I'm having a custom one made right now from CRP not sure of the style i think something different. I'll post pics when I get it.

Re:What would you pay for a manifold that will never break?
well, i paid 100 bucks for a manifold that breaks all the time, so i guess 110 for one that didn't :-\

Just had to throw this pic in the bunch too.. lol, gotta love the garrison late night creations.

Re:What would you pay for a manifold that will never break?
I need something like that for the semi-equil lenghth I need to finish. Http://www.defaultcrush.com/tcpics/turbo/turbostuff.jpg |
Re:What would you pay for a manifold that will never break?
Ha, I wish its FR's merge collector, the one I made.. eh didnt quite come out that nice, haha.
Shitbirds collectors are really nice, they are for sale in the classifieds. |
Re:What would you pay for a manifold that will never break?
i recall seeing pictures of that collector not looking so pretty. tig does some wonderous things for finishing welds that don't look so ---- hot.

Re:What would you pay for a manifold that will never break?
The manifold I was talking about is this...

Re:What would you pay for a manifold that will never break?
^^that was the one that was for sale here a while back.

It looks heavier than a complete honda engine with transmission...
