ranton Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 This is soo sweet, will be able to give a fair few unsuspecting drivers a fright at the lights. Hear the diesel clatter then boom its gone Bahaha it sounds more like a Mac truck at idle.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangbug Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Man it really looks like the gas can go where it likes in that exhaust manifold! And a few hard bends and pulses hitting one another. Was there a reason you couldn't make a collector style one? (go up then down. space?) It'd be helpful for you EGT's What's the dilly'o with those "t"s flaring both directions? And because this is 2016:**DisclaimerAny comments I make are not to be taken as critical or confrontational towards any certain individuals, and are simply to be considered as my personal opinion only** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And because this is 2016: **Disclaimer Any comments I make are not to be taken as critical or confrontational towards any certain individuals, and are simply to be considered as my personal opinion only** Lmfao...Haha mostly because of space not much higher than the exhaust manifold is the raintray if i had a mk3 or newer the engine bay has a slightly taller space available in the engine bay. Mk2s are poky and small and while i probabky could have made a collector style and made it fit. I didnt really feel need to spend hours and hours and hours for this little hack haha Im not that fixated on power out put the car weights under a tonne so anything over 180hp and 250nm will be fast enough for this nana Both the log manifold and the gorgeous collector style manifolds sell for around 600+ GBP (i dont have that much spare tin) I made my manifold for under 100 NZD plus 2 hours of me fucking around The bends are all schedule 40 1 1/4 and where the log branches off to the turbo is enlarges to 1 1/2 to match the inlet size of the turbos exhaust housing. the turbo will be underworked anyway so egts shouldnt be that much of an issue i dont think. I dont really know anythibf about diesels or tuning them. Apparently if i bothered to do crank and pistons etc I could see 350 - 380 hp with this turbo.. Not sure what you ment by the flaring ts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangbug Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 The T section, looks like it's more of a Y crossed with a T. (superimpose Y over T) I just mean it doesn't look directional as many log manifolds do I need a drawing! The red is what I think might happen a bit (at the same time as the green)And the 2nd horrible drawing is with a couple of 90's turning down to the collector. BEHOLD the power of MSPAINT!!!! But for those power levels I guess it won't matter much, thought I saw those larger figures in your build thread and thought it may be a problem And if you end up with spare time/monies later it's all gravy.I love this build. **DisclaimerAny comments I make are not to be taken as critical or confrontational towards any certain individuals, and are simply to be considered as my personal opinion only** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 that design is acutally the "sports" exhaust for my flathead. its much better (30% if you believe the old barries) than havin the exhaus exit at the back. It also results in less exhaust valve burnout which typically happens on #4 on the standard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also results in less exhaust valve burnout which typically happens on #4 on the standard. Back = end? I don't mean the T as in the shape of the entire manifold, the the parts it's made from I didn't add a 3rd iteration where the "T"s are more like bends because he ain't making this again! But maybe the center part After giving me a beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 In my 30's technology log manifold, the exhause downpipe exits the manifold behind the 4th exhaust port this type, exhaust exiting between 2,3. is much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangbug Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I understand But did it clear up the T comment/ask I made?I reckon they'd be better than a hard 90 either direction so that's a positive In my 30's technology log manifold, the exhause downpipe exits the manifold behind the 4th exhaust port this type, exhaust exiting between 2,3. is much betterNo disputes here!Not the question I was asking/raising but a boat without gravy isnt'....... wait where was I going with that?
