Get one fitted on the baby xe Riggy ;)
Had a good long drive on the way home from work today, went through the peak district, as it was nice, sunny weather.
Got home and cracked on with fitting this 4-1 manifold(easy job i thought)
Got the standard manifold off in no time, compared it to the new.

Fitment looks identical, which is good.
THO, taking a closer look at the manifold, the tubing on the new manifold actually looks more restrictive than the standard manifold/downpipe setup. The primaries/collector seem quite thin, to me. I have a feeling it may be a 8v 4-1 manifold, thats been cut, and a 16v head flange welded on.... As it looks very similar to an ashley, but with the tubing just moved to fit round the 16v sump.
Anyways, cracked on,got it all on. bolted to the head.
Went to bolt it to the system and found it wont bolt up right. It forces the exhaust system to sit way too high, and jam hard against the transmission lever box in the transmission tunnel :roll:
So ripped the fcuking lot off, and bolted the standard manifold setup back on(need the car tonight)
Gave the standard setup a spray of black heat paint, which should add 10 brake ;) lol

So im not sure what to do now. Need to find out how well the manifold fitted on the car it came off.
Shame. Can't you heat it with blow torch (if you have one) and bend it down slightly.
Probably lol
Might have another crack tomorrow.
Im a bit undecided whether fitting it would change much anyway, the bore size of the pipework looks more restrictive than standard.
Thought i guess each port having its own primary pipe/exit would help.
More torque though?
Shame really Ad but it's worth fitting and finding out. If you can be bothered with the hassle of bending it etc.
Good luck though man ;)
it was Will F's old one adam, maybe ask him?
Tis Martin.
Ive pm'd him.
I have a feeling he had it customly made to suit his nova, with an internal gear shifter. Hence it hits the level box bolted in the transmission tunnel on mine, due to having the standard shifter setup....... :(
Cooch-Possbly, no idea mate tbh lol
i see, will stfu now lol:thumb:Quote:
