*INFO* 1600 8v Turbo - What I used

You're looking at moving into the black art of shifting power bands according to exhaust pulses there... if you're going to work all of that out I'd spend your time putting it on aftermarket management etc first, because the manifold isn't going to make the most noticeable difference on a vauxhall/ford/random parts bin engine lol

For example:

Cylinder 1 pipe is 4 inches in lenth. Cylinder 2 is 5 inches etc etc?


What happens if this is the case?

Thanks again for the write up :)

I wouldn't concern your self to greatly with this as MK99999999 9999 said its far past the concerns of even the most keen enthusiasts, even some OEM cast manifolds have uneven length runners.

the LET for example

plus on a turbo its not as crucial as an N/A. in theory you want to keep them as short as possible thought

SPi manifold wins then surely?

it is pretty good yes mike

Meh lol i win :)

Have been thinking about attempting this for a while now...
So upon reading this im pretty much decided now so roll on the next project :d
Cheers :thumb:

Best of luck chaps.

Whats the best gearbox to use?
