Tubular Manifolds

[UnstableCable]

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-tub...fold-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!

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.

[JRP]

Thats pretty cheap tbh

[rat1]

oh great i've just got one off cgb a week ago on sale for £185 +£12 p&p. thay do look very well made though

[modfather]

i like the manifold. i may be up for getting 1. it would be good to see if any1 has used these before

[HAndy]

would imagine there what all the tuners are selling,


defo help with spooling , noticed a 300 rpm improvement when fitted over oe item

[scott 5gtt]

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

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

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

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]

These all come from one supplier

Do 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??

[DaveMayGTT]

Wow cracking price dude.

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

[Ian S]

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.

[Ian S]

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.

[Logg]

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

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.

[rs250nut]

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

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!! (£113)

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?

[Smokey]

[djinuk]

would the rtoc shop maybe not buy a number of these, there somthing i imagine would sell on pretty easially at that kind of price.

[DaveMayGTT]

If the shop can get some in i would have one in a few months, i just cant commit right this moment to that money unfortunately

[car.crash]

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]

It would have to be 100% up front like the Orange dials.

[car.crash]

It would have to be 100% up front like the Orange dials.

even better

[dangerous dave]

i'll pay up the full price to the club shop whenever its needed

[clee]

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

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

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
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

[Smokey]

So are we good to start paying the cash in.

[UnstableCable]

So are people happy to start making payments for these then? Is the shop happy to take these payments?

The dealer has these in stock so can be dispatched as asap!

[clee]

Yes .
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

[UnstableCable]

Sorry.... took so long to right my last reply missed all the above!
Will pm you the details shortly.

[Logg]

Payment sent.

[Ian S]

i dont mind taking delivery of them and sort delivery to other members

It's all sorted now but thanks for your offer to help out.
