  3. ebay manifolds

    in General Chat

    Posted

    just wondering has anyone bought one of the exhaust manifolds that sell on ebay,the £150 odd ones,,,do they give any power gains?are they worth getting or is it just best to have a decent downpipe (as I've got),,I've heard that the standard twin type manifold flows not bad for mass production,so don't want to get one just for the sake,though they look pretty trick(for the price!).any thoughts;)

    maybe have a word with a engine builder who has worked on these before,or the person who will skim/bore the head/block..as u say you need to get this right or problems will ensue....i guess it will depend on what parts/mods you do/use so get some advice from a engine builder I would say,,they;) will be happy to help,

    took it out and was a bit shitty with some hardened gunk stuck to it...cleaned it all of and replaced the rubber O ring,all seems good but its probably breaking down electrically when hot so replacement is the only answer I guess...see if it happens again and if so new one will go on....

    sometimes its takes half hour to start when very hot...seems like a vapour lock,done it about 4 times but last time I banged/tapped the fuel filter/lines and it fired up,its a new filter and i took it off last night and blew through the fuel line and alls good,,was thinking of putting foil around the lines where they clip on side of head(surely they get TO hot by there)..any ideas???cheers
