Will this manifold flow better than an HF?

The runner for the #1 cylinder is off as you can see, and it just looks like there isn't a big enough opening at the T3 flange. What do you think?

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

hmm... that mani doesnt look bad but id predict more power on an hf mani/adapter combo... i just think the design of the hf manifold prevents reversion of exhaust more than typical log manifolds, and higher velocities in the runners. Just my opinion though, im sure people are gonna argue either way about this.

Poor craftsmanship.
Is that what sucking cock gets you? ;)

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

bout time you got that sucker. Id take that over an HF, imho.

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

Looks like a standard log manifold to me. Thats what you get, its a log.

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

Its a log manifold so it will definitely flow like ----, but thats one piss poor manifold. :-\

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

yeah it is, where'd you get it?

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

lol, ----.

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

its a log. with a matching recirculated downpipe for pennies.

log manifolds blow. if you were expecting a crazy flowing manifold. a log wasnt it.

sigh

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

I didn't expect a crazy flowing anything. Just asking for opinions on this, because it seems like it could've been better in some areas. The ports to the head had to be ground out to match because of poor alignment, there were lots of sharp loose pieces of metal on the inside that would have been sent straight to my turbo, and the opening at the T3 flange could have been opened up way more, which I'm going to have to do. Not bad for the price though.

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

Man I don't know about using that . You already said it has loose pieces rattling around in it that you had to clean out . Whats gonna happen when it goes through a few heat cycle's on the car .
Probably more crap is going to come of and go through your turbo .

who knows though this could be like that cast flange to mild steel downpipe that guy made . everyone told him it would crack but last he said it worked for over six months .

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

I would run that over a HF anyday, just port the openings and it will be a good manifold.

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

Bahahaha that's me ;)

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

mine hasnt cracked yet and ive had it for 2.5 years

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

id run a Hf over a log anyday. Even thought the ports are small, at least it has some type of "collector", to avoid extreme pressure in the manifold. Logs blow

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

thats some seriously funny ----..That was you. lmao. Did you build it yourself ? And if so why did you choose to make a log ?

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

Haha, good ---- Jago, you shoulda seen my Ramhorn hotrex made me, 3 joints were 1/8" off like the one you posted, the collector was completely cut out of wack which would have interupted flow huge.

I thought yeah whatever it was cheap and I waited 8 months for it, so i ported the flange and the runners, threw my turbo and wastegate on and threw it in the car.

WOW

Wastegate hits the headlight, hood wont close by over 1/2"

Was debating on ------- with every other part of my setup to make this work but thought ---- it, sold it, got my money back and bought a piping kit and I couldnt be ------- happier

Sell it

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

wot , your ---- was like 2 yrs ago, when i just started making them. the ---- now is on par with anything you can get for double the price, that swhat you get for being a cock gobbler yo.

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

entertainment bump :D

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

are you sure its not the camera? :P

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

grind that ---- down.... >:(

Re: Will this manifold flow better than an HF?
 

hf ownes log anyday.

looks like someone needs to lay off gaining tiging skills and learn how to use a ruler :P
