Tubular Manifolds

[Lexgtturbo]

I'm done at work in 1 1/2 hours so ill pay up as soon as I get home :) can't wait :D

[tiff_lee]

i havent been told anything bad about these manifolds and i have sold a fair few ;)

Call me cynical but does that mean there will be a load on ebay in 3 weeks time?

[raider_gtt]

Call me cynical but does that mean there will be a load on ebay in 3 weeks time?


no been there done that lol and i was getting them for that same price round £120 each and i didnt want to sell anymore of them :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

bought a load of them sold them made my money and got my own one for free :D
which is the way to do it then it dont cost you a thing

[clee]

I'm starting to get pee'd off now with the supplier .
Email conversation Sunday to finalize but no word since ....I've chased this up 6 times now so please bear with me .Last contact I had was confirmation of price for 30 delivered .

I requested a Paypal invoice from them and said that as soon as I had it I would transfer the funds .It's over £3k so I'm not happy to just send given the lack of communication since :coffee:

Fear not ,all your monies are safely sitting in the club PP account .

[Logg]

I've got a nasty feeling that the manufacturing company has got wind of the seller selling at such a low price and is refusing to supply them.

[clee]

Hmmm ....Not sure ,could be .
I asked them to let me know when they had enough stock to cover our order though and that happened over the weekend :coffee:
Perhaps not ,perhaps they are still waiting for our dosh first before they order stock ,we all know how these sort of outfits operate .I can't see them holding shed loads of stock .I know I couldn't afford to .

I've just fired off another email to one of their company addresses different to the guy I have been in contact with .See if that rattles any cages .

[JRP]

I blame raider gtt :laugh:

[raider_gtt]

Aww jrp didn't no u cared so much buddy ;)

[JRP]

Aww jrp didn't no u cared so much buddy ;)


:laugh:;):cooter:

[Danboi2]

hope they do accept payment be a shame to be let down after such a good responce from this :)

[Ian S]

perhaps they are still waiting for our dosh first before they order stock ,we all know how these sort of outfits operate .I can't see them holding shed loads of stock .I know I couldn't afford to.

Often these eBay sellers just use the same fulfilment agent as each other.

Maybe Raceland doesn't want a load of very small customers on it books so lets a few make the sales but it posts for them.

[clee]

:cool:
I'll be paying now then .I think 25 will cover those sold as 5279 already has one and I've refunded one payment as was no longer needed .

New turbo check :D

External wastegate in post :D

New fannymold on route :smokin:

Happy days :agree:

Thanks UnstableCable and clee

[clee]

:)

The club has had subsidised this a little . Price delivered is actually 125 euro each ,I did try and haggle a bit on 30 but got a fairly firm no :laugh:
I can however get the shipping costs down quite a bit if we use a different courier so we are only down about 60p a unit .This does not take into account the fact that we had to pay a bit more for the one off sample as well at 150 euro .

Anyway ....if anybody is local to me or is passing by and can collect and is generous enough to waive the delivery they paid I will reward with free T-shirt ;)

[R5TURBORON]

Message me where abouts in Derbyshire u are might be able to pop over and get mine when u are ready

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

Sorry if I have missed the boat on this one, but am interested in getting a manifold if its still possible.

If you have any available still can you confirm the price delivered to Somerset and where you require me to send the Paypal payment, also what details you need from me.
Cheers,

[clee]

:)
I'm waiting on a couple of guys to confirm/pay so that leaves 1 available at the minute .


payment in full to:

shop@rtoc.org (shop@rtoc.org)
Please supply description of order, full name, delivery address, safe to leave details ( if not in ) and phone contact number.


Looks like I need to order another 5 on the next batch .These will go in the shop but at a slightly higher price dependant on what I can swing with the supplier .

[ranj]

Since it looks like my clutch is going to be toast soon and engine will be out ... i am also interested in 1 ... if i have to wait for 2nd lot is cool .. do we have any idea when you expect 2nd lot ???

I didnt get one :cry: i cant remember if I gave my number though

[clee]

I duuno ...07999 ? seem to remember putting it in ..

Anyway ! The other 17 turned up just now :)
I'm not going to get chance to process them today as my car is on it's way back from the cageman and I've got mountains of ****e to clear .They won't arrive till next week in any case so I will get them all booked in for collection over the weekend and they will ship Monday .

I have 5 more to come but not sure when as yet .
Two are sold already so we'll only have 3 in shop stock .I'll talk to Ian and see if we up it to 10 if poss :agree:
They will cost slightly more than the 27 sold on this group buy as the costs were slightly out on exchange rate ,shipping etc .
They should go in the shop at £130 to members .

Big thanks to all those involved and hopefully after this success the club can look into other bulk buys :smokin:

I'm waiting for them to let me know they have new stock and can ship before we pay .

[demiturbo]

has anyone fitted one ov these yet ?

[tubbyG]

has anyone fitted one ov these yet ?


although I was not involved in the group buy, I fitted one at the end of last year

[demiturbo]

do they fit ok ?

[demiturbo]

im just having my head gasket done and i want to fit my tubular manifold and the mananic thinks it doesnt fit propually and if he does get it to fit he reckons that it will go through manifolds like anything and if anyones had one i would like to know how theres went ie> fit ok .

Fitted mine the other day whilst I had the engine out, went on like a glove :). If he's got the head off, he should have no problem fitting it, maybe he's doesn't want to fit it because it's quite different to the OE one, some mechanics are funny like that. :scratch:

[Thundercat]

They are a real good fit, only worry I think would be for those running large hybrid turbo,may need the turbo supporting due to weight. Other than that can't see any issues.

did he say why it dont fit properly :scratch:

[BigDanC]

it fits but test fit it first as if you've got longer manifold studs you'r gonna have problems like i did.

also 1 nut left to fit but i dont have monkey hands and cant get to it.

would be easy with the engine out and starter off and all the rest of it in the cars its a little tight to get to everything. but do-able :)

[Lexgtturbo]

any news on the last ones?

[clee]

Sorry but no :scratch:
I chase and chase but get no reply .I will keep on trying .

[clee]

As if by magic yet again ...must be forum vibes ;)

Hello,

Is this ok?

Best regards

Surely they shouldn't change the position of the turbo!! I'm going to have to check mine Monday, just incase.. Not going to be happy if it doesn't all fit :cry:

[Logg]

Could it be that matts 5 is too low at the front so the drive shaft angle is diffent and that's why it catches.

[Turbo_Dan]

Are these still £135 delivered

[BluntyR5GTT]

quick update guys am just waiting on confirming a date to get the back to back rr tests done its looking like either 21st or 28th may

i was under the car today with carcrash, it does seem like there may be an issue when using the boris pipe as it has no adjustment.. i forgot to take my sidey over to test it but my ar5e is twitching a little about it.. i might Vband my boris or mock fit my engine, manifold, boris and sidey and see what i have.. i might have the flange on the manifold cut off and turned a degree or 2 as it'll make a fecking huge difference..

has anyone else used the boris with theres yet and what exhausts? any other issues or is it all gravy baby..:cool:

O dear, seems to be a problem with the larger exhaust's.. I test fitted mine and it fails :cry: I have a custom made jobie on mine, with a slip joint, it's hitting on the bend as it goes under the car!

Anyway for me it's just an excuse to make up a new exhaust system with the BMS downpipe I have yet yo fit :D

[Dave Reed]

Just to add, I would of thought the fanimolds should of kept everything in the same position??? I no my K-tech 1 did...

[BluntyR5GTT]

quick pic of the manifold if anyone is wondering about quality etc

[dangerous dave]

Just to add, I would of thought the fanimolds should of kept everything in the same position??? I no my K-tech 1 did...

im sure the answer is "there £130" tinkering is needed..

i dont see it as a problem, its an excuse to vband the boris pipe to get full adjustment. its great as a 1 piece but i would like to get my exhaust exactly how i want it..:)

i will need a to mod and use the standard downpipe/exhaust bracket to the engine again, or it could shake free sending the flange into that driveshaft:scared:

[car.crash]

I'm not a fan of them :(

[turbo ted]

i had the same manifold fitted to my car with a 2 1/2 big jim racing downpipe fitted with no problems.boris downpipe must be wrong angle anyway what do know:D

im sure the answer is "there £130" tinkering is needed..

i dont see it as a problem, its an excuse to vband the boris pipe to get full adjustment. its great as a 1 piece but i would like to get my exhaust exactly how i want it..:)

i will need a to mod and use the standard downpipe/exhaust bracket to the engine again, or it could shake free sending the flange into that driveshaft:scared:


As i said previously, it does'nt really bother me as I was going to make a new exhaust anyway.. Was only letting people know to not expect it to be a straight fit :D
As you quite rightly say, they are only £130 which is not a lot of money at all.

They fit OK to a std setup don't they ?

STD downpipe is fine as it can be twisted but the bms I fitted along with a t25 fouled on the driveshaft.

the big jim might be at a slightly different angle but might fail, any ktec etc enlarged downpipe using the standard turbo elbow allowing it to swing will be fine:)

you can get a v band from ebay at £30 or so and then welded up sorting any issue out.. if you know someone that can your downpipe to spec your winning..

[Lexgtturbo]

Just got mine, thanks to everyone who have made this group buy possible, and especially to clee for shipping the manifold over to me in Norway :)

[jay28]

Are there any manifolds still available? Been a bit preoccupied and forgot to sort one when the buy started!!!

[clee]

Two left :agree:

[Chris Holt]

has anyone had issues with these being very close to the starter motor and heat soak...?

[dangerous dave]

No heat soak yet but we should be using heatshields. Check the manifolds flange to the turbo, It may need flatted off before fitting or you may get a blow before the turbo losing power.

[James5]

has anyone had issues with these being very close to the starter motor and heat soak...?


I had the same problem with the gaytec Mk1 type it was literally against the starter and even with shield made no difference took it off not long after putting it on:D

[adscan]

any of these left...?

[Miller]

Sorry no, but Clee is looking to get another batch.....

[Tony Walker]

Just thought id mention, with no heatshield and tubular fitted, i didnt have one starter problem after a 120mile trip to mallory, 30-40miles on track and 120 back. I would advise taking your starter off when fitting (to make fitting easier too) but also spraying wd40 inside, plenty of it. inside the motor and the solenoid. I did prior to doing this suffer with hot start sticking solenoid on my standard manifold.

:agree:

[Woznaldo]

Is the new shipment in?

Will there be any more of those available?

[SMD]

Just wondered if there were anymore of these available 2 ?

[djinuk]

gutted to hear these things dont seem to fit with a bms downpipe :(.. fail.

[BluntyR5GTT]

do they fit with a big jim racing one?

[Markey Mark (BD)]

do they fit with a big jim racing one?

Yeah they fit mate, i had a tubular manifold fitted to tungy 5 with a Big Jim downpipe

[BluntyR5GTT]

cheers mark :) thats good to know as it will be mated to a full 2.5" system

how exactly do these v bands work, any pics.. i presume u chop the 2.5 boris downpipe, weld these flanges in , then use the clamp to tighten, does this allow you to alter the angle of the eghaust slightly ? any pics ?

[Mattw]

what i had done to mine to fit without it hitting driveshaft!

[djinuk]

ah right i see, so you weld the two v clamps with a slight angle, coolio, well ill attempt to fit mine first without this modification, then if needed ill fit a V band.

If they'll post to the UK for £130 delivered that's as good as you'll get at that's the same price we we're selling them to members. Basically, slightly above our cost price.

[Ian S]

Has anyone got any actual proof that these are of any benefit?I was wondering the same. I haven't seen much said about this, has there been?

[FSP]

Iam from Slovenia so thats 130eur not british pounds and + 15 eur post cost for Slovenia.

just thought, will renault 5 tubuar manifold fit renault 11 bolt on?

Yes, same original Exhaust Manifold. ;)

[Tony Walker]

I was wondering the same. I haven't seen much said about this, has there been?

Mine improved without any doubt, reved much much more easily, It did change the sound too which i like but some may not, i wish i had some practical figures but unfortunately i dont. You wont be disapointed IMO but i also wouldnt say its worth spending £hundereds£ on.

[markg]

Has anyone heat wrapped one of these manifolds ?. If so can you tell me how much was needed.

Thanks

It was a while ago, but I think I used 2 :scratch: rolls of the heatwrap cgb sell.

always good to have extra though so you can wrap your downpipe or exhaust as well.

tip: wear gloves of some sort when wrapping as it gets rather itchy:laugh:

i wouldn't.. people have killed standard manifolds wrapping them, im pretty sure it would be easier to warp and crack one of these if the heat can't escape..

Although Pascal had an issue with his welds, stainless is alot better at heat cycling and therefore should handle the wrap just fine.

Keeping the heat, and therefore energy, in is a good thing for performance. ;)
