Tubular manifolds

[5teve L]

Does anyone know where I can get a tubular manifold made, I might have a mate who can do it but need options just in case. I really don't think mine will all fit with the bigger comp housing & 10mm spacer I have had to add :crap:

im 99% sure longlife exhausts make custom manifolds mate and from what iv heard they have had some very good results

:agree: I'll see if there is anywhere near me if my mate doesn't come through.
I've got a couple of options, top mounted or put it over the box..
I've also cheekily asked Robbie if I can copy his :ashamed:

Try the engine in the car first mate and see if it fits, might only need to dress bulkhead alittle.
If not wonder if Big Jim could knock a manifold up for you, know he's doing Phils inlet for him.

this is my local manifold fabricator

but when people want £300 quid, i made this

then added the collector and t3 flandge i mocked it up with a starter and gearbox, if you keep the headers close to the block and starter there is enough room as i needed to get a 32 down pipe down the back also :eek:

ive two good books on turbocharging that do have a bit on manifold design in

I really don't think it will fit after looking yesterday mate, the comp housing is alot bigger than the 60 A/R I used on the GT Turbo & I've had to space it 10mm as well :crap:
I mocked a head up in the car, took pictures & then measured as well, then looked at pics on the net of a standard R19, Rob also said there doesn't look alot of room down the back on his 19.
Robbie has kindly said I can borrow his manifold to see if it fits & then show it to my mate, failing that I will have to bite the bullet & get one made by a custom shop as I didn't think Jim was doing things anymore ??
I've also got ABS over the gearbox side, I'm already thinking of ditching that & the PAS :wasntme:

is there room to come up behind the back of the rocker cover,as john "Jp racing " got hold of a pro oxide equal length tuby manifold sometime ago, which is built to fit straight on to a f7p/r engine, worth giving him a pm ,see if he can give you any more info /dimensions on the product,i do know its t25 flange so should bolt straight on to your turbo to, not cheap to buy though :crap:

Thats the one, a guy on Retro renault showed me his old one, no way did it look worth 750 euros :crap: the collector looked a right mess... Hence me borrowing Robbies for my mate to copy... He did say would they sell, I said if they were well made & fairly cheap then hell yeah, only thing is it's set to come across to above the gearbox so not sure if you have room Andy.

I let you make your mind up if it's worth the cash...

[Tony Walker]

:crap: wouldnt say its worth half.

the face to the head looks warped? putting the pic to the bottom of my screen its well warped...... You'd need about 3 gaskets to try and seal it.

Don't know, never saw it in the flesh so to speak, after seeing those pics though it put me right off buying one :crap: (luckily)

i will be going with something like this http://ludeatic.com/ebay/TH10069%206.jpg
but with a 38mm external take off on/near the collector :)

I was looking at 200 sx (S13 & 14) manifolds before I decided to go for a custom built one.
Ones like these...

One of the guys off Renault online has used a nissan manifold for his F7R turbo conversion.
Not got it up and running yet though so don't know how well it works.

I to have tested with the civic turbo.
