Just spotted this on ebay. Looks well made, I wonder if it fits a car with AC? Anyone bought one yet?

John

It's a 16vt one John.

doh..

You tease, you got me all excited.

Also advertised here John

John, I know it's a big number, but if you can count to five, you *must* be able to count to four...

lol.

But it was so shiny I got blinded by the bling

4 is enough anyway, the 5th branch is designed to drop off anyway after a few thousand miles at least on the original manifold it is

but if you really want 5, you have to look on eBay Austria

What advantage does the tubular manifold have on the fiat?

Is it just improved flow of gas so better engine breathing?

basically yes, some will allow you to have an external wastegate too!

There are issues with loosing the aircon to fit one - some also require the heatshield to go, which creates issues with the wiring under the bonnet getting brittle.

Cheapo ones tend to disintegrate, and the decent ones are not cheap.

Slightly off topic, but has anyone else been checking out the 'How to make yourself an exhaust' articles in PPC magazine?

OJZ Engineering - http://www.ojzengineering.co.uk/html/main.html - look like they make some lovely exhausts.

Chris

but you still want one

Is that auction for 2 manifolds?

I'd guess it's a choice between the one with or without the external wastegate pipe.

I can't see an external wastegate pipe on either

The waste gate pipe is shown in the first picture at the top of the auction ad, I'm trying to work out how he can charge that little for a branched 5pot manifold?

I'd go bust within a month at those prices.

Errr.. I still can't see it, the pipe at the top of the first picture is just the primary from #1 cylinder???

I've had another look and this, it has two external pipes, Looky looky.

Look more closely. I think in fact it must be a twin scroll manifold as there seems to be two extra branches coming off the collector, or there's two pipes there with flanges on the end which dont join onto the plate that bolts to the head.

Thats just one manifold sat behind the other??

fccuking hell I need glasses, your right Chris

Yes, that makes more sense.

I was trying to make out what that spaghetti junction of pipework was all about.

Here's my little pic I just knocked up. Thought I was loosing my mind then....

Both A's are the same pipes, as a B. The 2 green lines are the flanges that bolt to the head.

There's a strange echo in this thread too. :Crazy:

Nice one, I can see that without having to hold the screen two inches from my nose

I wonder how much this is going to finish for?

Edit, it has finished, I wonder why and with no bids?

I have a full stainless system from OJZ fitted on my V6 GTA engine in the back of the Stratos replica. Fantastic workmanship, great guys to deal with and very knowledgable too. I tried a few of the 'stainless' specialists but they couldn't produce what i wanted but Lance and his team did.

so.......

who's going to be first to get one???
