I have seen these manifolds going around, they seem to be made by a company called raceline and are all over europe ebay although I see cgb sells em for £169 + P&P.
http://www.cgbmotorsport.net/cgb-tubular-stainless-steel-exhaust-manifold-985-p.asp

On europe ebay the cheapest I could find was €159 + €15 postage which is about £150 in total! which is a bargin really compared to the likes of Ktec etc!

So being a bit cheeky I decided to email a few of the sellers and see what they could do for a bulk purchse and the best I got was €1400 delivered for 10 manifolds! :eek:

Thats €140 per manifold or £121 each, the only problem being that he wants to send to one person so they would then need distributing over here which could be done for around £6 so would be £127 in total per manifold!

I dont know if any body has tried these and can say what they are like but they certainly look good in the picture! (To me anyway!)

Havent figured out the finer details of how to pay etc but will get round to that once I get a idea if anybody is interested?

Wow cracking price dude.

How hard would it be to convert one of these manifolds to twin scroll? As I could be tempted to buy one and get it converted.

I bought one of these raceland manifolds a while back really good build quality had no bother with mine bit of a chew fitting though getting a spanner in to a couple of nuts easier with the head off. I heat wrapped mine though so it did make it a bit tighter to get into. Oh and I had to do a slght bit of grinding to get it to fit perfect but for the price ya can't go wrong think I paid 120 from them direct

Its defo a good price, Perhaps its something the club can look into getting if there is enough interest...

UnstableCable

Glad to see theres lots of interest and would be great if the club could get involved!

Guess start a list then and see how many we come up with? I want one so

thats an awesome price for what you get!
I bought one from CGB last year. £200 all in. The build quality is excellent, it does look mint! cant say that I noticed much of a gain on spool up tho, maybe a 100 or 2 rpm for full boost difference but whats that!
but I did notice that while cruising that there was a much quieter/smoother note from the exhaust....untill the foot goes down:cool2:

Its defo a good price, Perhaps its something the club can look into getting if there is enough interest...I think so too.

Maybe the club could buy the last couple if need be to make up the number?

And buyers perhaps could pay the shop as has happened before?

Ian S
29-01-2011, 22:44
These all come from one supplierDo you know who?

Can we buy them direct from them? For less than the quoted €1400?

Will it annoy them if we then sell them to members for less that what seems to be the retail of £170?


Perhaps we could keep a couple for the shop??

I asked the same question about these from ktec in another thread. Found any info logg?

Ian S
29-01-2011, 23:00
The man you want to ask about such a conversion is Big Jim Racing who made those 5GTT big exhaust pipes for after the turbo: http://www.bigjimracing.co.uk/home.html

He actually made those pipes himself, not just got them made.

Anyway, I asked the other year about something for my Fiat and he wouldn't make a manifold for the kind of price being talked about here, ie, £121. Not even for double that.

I think when Looking for a twin scroll turbo for the little GTT an oe turbo from an other car will have to be used. As all the garrett turbos seem to be for over 400hp. So that'll mean looking at using either and Evo, Scooby or Megane turbocharger. But so far I've only found Evo flanges for sale.

Find out which of the four cylinders complement each other, I.e one and four two and three and then divide the collector by welding in a plate, not sure if it would be possible on a manifold that was finished unless your willing to chop the collector off. You may have to rotate the flange also which could not be ideal for turbo placement.

Wow! Chuffed with all the interest in these!

I have some great news as well, I have emailed the the chap again to enquire about larger quanties than 10 as we have smashed 10 now!

This is his response

0-10 manifolds €140 each
10-15 maniollds €130 each
15-20 manifolds €126 each (£109)
20+ manifolds €121 each (£104)

So as the list goes there looking at €130 a manifold!!:eek: (£113) :smokin:

So guess we just need sort out whos collecting the monies to pay for them? Im off on hols on the 12th so dont really want to be dealing with this and then disappearing for 3 weeks leaving everyone in the lurch.
So can i pass the details onto some one who can take the money etc and accept delivery then redistribute them?

With this many people wanting them the shop should take a non refundable deposit of £30 per member upfront before ordering if they were to do it to save being lumberd with them like the calendars.

Ian S
31-01-2011, 15:57
It would have to be 100% up front like the Orange dials.

Ian has posted on the CM boards about this .The club is willing to order 20+ units and get the best price but we must have some commitment from those above :agree:

P&P&Paypal fees UK end will work out at about £15 ( this is a member only deal ) so if we buy 20 you will get them delivered via courier 24/48hrs for £119 :smokin:

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

Good stuff Unstable :agree:
If you could please let Ian or I know the details then we can arrange payment etc as soon as we get sufficient numbers on the books ;)

Worst case we don't get enough take ups and I'll have to refund the dosh .
If the majority of those on the above list send in payment then RTOC will place an order for 20+ units :)

It is a big order but there from a fairly big seller so not to worried. Has a large website and sells world wide! Has a ebay rating of 4500+ and 99.6% positive :agree:

We are waiting on final price and delivery schedule .
What I would like to do is get a sample first to check fit and quality :agree: They look all nice and shiny and the seller is well established but we all know what that can sometimes mean ;) Last thing Matthew and the club wants is for people to be unhappy with the product when it arrives .
This will obviously delay things by a week or so .

This looks like the Manufacturer website?

Note the price each; €252.00 = £215.

They are in Belgium.

Note also in some small print that it's states they have a 10 year warranty.

Good man Jonathan
I will take you up on that please as Matt is off on holidays soon and won't be able to check it out until he's back .
I'm waiting on a response from the supplier , I'll be in touch to arrange soon :)

Ian S
15-02-2011, 12:19
..I think you might find that it's just for the difference it makes it's a waste of £350 to £500 but not a waste of £120.

No-one then has changed their tune. It might still be a 4th division mod, for some engine configurations anyway, but now the admission price is 4th division not premier league.

Also, people love a bargain, and at up to 75%, or whatever, off, this does seem to be one.

Ian S
15-02-2011, 12:24
And with so many being fitted at once, surely there will be a few before and after measurements?

That's what was so continuously conspicuously absent from KTec and their customers.

It should be borne in mind that there are two different internal bores of the OE 5GTT manifold. I forget just now which is larger but that may partly account for why some people notice a change when others don't, when the rest of their equipment is similar or the same.

And that OE manifold is really poor at flowing from the gearbox end cylinder. I fed an air line into each inlet of a standard manifold and felt the air flow exiting the turbo end. The far one was best. The near one to the turbo just stalled and didn't exit.

I'd just like to say, in case anyone misunderstands: I'm not a naysayer. I'm the opposite.

My comment suggesting back to back tests was in the hope that this group buy might end up providing some additional and useful insight/information/knowledge for the wider club on this previously contentious subject.

I think, like Ian says, for £120 this is a good punt. If there is a question over the efficacy of the manifold design, the club could always test this sample before placing the big order...

We are testing fit but not function .
Could do this I suppose but that will take months unless someone can pop both a std and this on a RR in the next couple of weeks ??

Can we not just leave this up to those that have paid their hard earned to comment as and when ?
Who knows for certain here and now ? Anybody ? NO !

Trevhib
15-02-2011, 16:58
Which is what is already planned

I know it's being trial fitted to a member's car but does this 'test' include back to back rolling road sessions to approximate potential differences in power/torque?

Edit: Just seen Clee's post. So no then. Dawn, you knew what I was talking about and if you knew what the club test involves then I don't know why you posted what you did.

Anyway, I'd better butt out of this as I'm not buying one of these manifolds, I was just showing a bit of interest from a club perspective. It should be noted that my original suggestion was aimed at one of the members doing a test once they'd received their manifold. I wasn't trying to muddy any waters or cause problems with this group buy. The idea the club might do it upfront was merely a subsequent idea in response others' comments regarding whether these things have any tuning value.

Maybe the thread should be locked until things have moved forward to save any further misunderstandings.

"Trev, actually I thought you just hadn't read all of the thread" - Ok no worries, I see the angle you came at it from but I don't know why you would have assumed that I hadn't read the whole thread, especially given my prior post on page 2.

"so less of the entirely unnecessary beef please" - Hmmm, in that case it feels right to say less of the entirely unnecessary needle Dawn. Which was the chicken and which was the egg in that situation?

Bottom line is, despite not being in this group buy it seems we are both interested in its outcome and it would seem we're hoping that someone is motivated enough to do before and after RR sessions to answer one of the age old C1J questions :agree:

Any takers?

Hi all, received the sample raceland manifold today thanks to clee, will be bolting it up to an engine tomorrow evening and i'll take some pics of it fitted. I'll also get a straight ruler on it before fitment to check for warp on flanges. But to be honest all looks good, it's definetly lighter than the mk1 ktec maifoldand also retains the threaded top holes in turbo flange as per standard manifold.:)

Any way doeas it really matter? the fact they are so cheap is why the people that have previously said no to them have changed there minds..

At the price they are if they turn out to be detrimental people have only lost a cheeky 120... not the 4 to 5 hundred ktec and the likes wanted....

for them to be tested it will have to be on every different stage of engine to guage if its good or not as every engine is different.

what i really am saying is so what if sombody decided they want one now and didnt then... ive never really been botherd about them as i had a manifold (standard item) that did the job why spend money on a pretty one that has no proven gain....

saw this deal and thought pahh i'll try it out ...

Does it really matter who said what in the past? i just think its a good show of club support getting this sorted..

as i say to test it, it really should be tested on every varient of set up to find what it works best and worst on....

TNT Tricky Nicky
19-02-2011, 12:38
If i was at the stage of doing my engine i would probably get one for the price, as it stands i'm still sorting out the body work.

I think alot of people look at it from a bhp/£, so to spend £400+ for 1-5bhp? gain at best is 1 bhp/£100

spend £120 for 1-5 bhp? gain at best is 1bhp/£17ish

that's why alot of people have the opinion that they're a waste of money and time but now it makes more sense as the real power gains have been done, ie bigger turbo, better fueling, less restrictive exhaust as that's where you'd spend the money if you had £500 to spend on performance mods

tiff_lee
19-02-2011, 12:39
When did RTOC become so political? I mean really who cares that much if so and so said tubular manifolds suck then goes out buy one at a bargain price.

I'm pretty sure everyone has spent 100 odd notes on worse things, all in all worst case scenario you end up with a big shiny doorstop :cartman:

I'd just like to say thanks to the people who set the deal up I could always do with more parts to store in my bedroom/warehouse! :p

That's not what your strategy was when deciding to buy/fit a cone filter, chromed rocker cover and ally header tank. All of which either provide no added value or are actually detrimental. :disagree:

I'd like to know from those who're nay-saying on here, exactly what their point is. Are you trying to be altruistic and your intention is to dissuade these guys from what you believe is them wasting their money? As far as I can see that's the only half-decent reason.

That's not what your strategy was when deciding to buy/fit a cone filter, chromed rocker cover and ally header tank. All of which either provide no added value or are actually detrimental. :disagree:

I'd like to know from those who're nay-saying on here, exactly what their point is. Are you trying to be altruistic and your intention is to dissuade these guys from what you believe is them wasting their money? As far as I can see that's the only half-decent reason. If that is the case, then most here are going about it in a very insensitive and cack-handed fashion. Rubbish :dearme:

You've been upset by some people (as I notice you've said in another post), and you're using that as an excuse to make other people feel the same way. Well, I guess being old enough to drive doesn't equate to being grown up.

I'm done with this conversation.

Right been tinkering in the garage with the new manifold. Firstly checked the faces of the turbo flange and manifold flange with a straight edge. Turbo flange flat around the center bore but with run off where the mounting holes are probably due to over deburring with grinder. Manifold flange flat across the bores again, very slight step (less then 1mm) when measuring out from inner bores to the outer ones but should pull up when bolted to the head.
As for fitment no problems, no filing or metal removed at all, just a good wiggle of inlet when both pushed on to head studs. Both inlet and exhaust manifold flat on the head without any nuts to pull it up. All so a bonus the inlet mounting flange and exhaust mounting flange are the same thickness unlike the KTEC one that i have.
Right just for tonight tried a standard T2 turbo on the manifold with a 2.5 inch crossover pipe and no issues to report. Compared the turbo mounting angle to a standard manifold on another head and really can't make out any differences. Even crossover pipe seems to be in the correct position in relation to inlet manifold.
Will try a bigger turbo and different crossover pipe monday night and post more pics.

Shiny if new, squarish and curved down the middle to fit around the shape of the round starter. Maybe 12 inches by maybe 10". IIFC, two bolt holes.

We already have an Ebay account ,sold a few of the dial kits through that .Works more as a club advert at the moment but we could start using it more .Time .......space ..just thought how much room 20 of these will take up ,I'm out of space so they'll have to sit in the lounge :scared:
20 sold outright and 2 or 3 promises so I think we may order 30 .


;)

Yep, that makes 18 paid in total ,not all from that list so looks like we may be getting a few more to keep in stock :agree:
They will be available in the shop at this price for members so don't worry if funds are tight for some at the moment :)

Just an update on the manifold fitment, as requested i have found a phase 1 large starter motor and can confirm that it fits straight on the back of the engine with approx half an inch clearance to nearest exhaust pipe.
I'm still unsure to what the starter heat shield looks like as the pile of brackets/guards of me old phase 1's are numerous. If anyone has a pic of one then i have an idea.

Clee, what do we need to do for the 10 year warranty, is the sticker on the manifold the proof of purchase?
