top mount ET manifold progress

[s13eater]

gto ,gt, still not a silvia, you would be best selling it and getting something with some power paul, 400bhp from a 3ltr and 1670kg or more, it will be nippy, but not anything to get you exited, put the 16 valve head on yours, a bit of tuning and you could be up to 350bhp in a car thats at least 500kg lighter.

Awesome job mate and great idea

So you have cut off the det manifold to head flange, What is the new one made of and did you make it yourself, or you have it machined up?

yep chopped the flange off, flipped the bottom mount 180degrees and becomes top mount but at the front of the block rather than rear (needs to be front to fit the scimitar chassis).
Crouchie b had them cut by a place in my home town, had three cut, £45 ea. they are stainless steel and were plasma cut, 15mm thick to allow for warping when welding and then skimmed back to 10-12mm or so.
a mate of mine Cameron has done better CAD drawings of the flange so they fit in one piece as crouchies need the runners cut in half to fit. If you want to get one done, i can get the CAD drawings off Cam and you can get one cut?

Or better still if i decide to have a go maybe you could get me one cut

I'm already looking at getting a batch made so if you're serious I'll get you one. I need to get 10 done really though or cost might not be nice

[adzs12]

How much are they going to cost each and how many people want them so far?

[CNHSS1]

as mentioned, they were £45 each before from the place we used (i have the companies details somewhere). I suspect Sideways Danny is using somewhere else if they need them done in 10s. if it doesnt work out, give me a shout
be worth having them plasma cut tho, as its really accurate and needs little tidying. Flame cuts not much cheaper but you have to bugger about with the file.
