I had this idea for a while but happy to share it as ive got them coming out everywhere usually, this is what I've planned for my 1000 manifolds. Its a shorter version of the Log style turbo manifolds most peeps have used and probably cheaper again and nicer than a J type banana one. Cast iron mani will be heated to 210 degrees then brazed with bronze for the steam pipe which both have similar heat porosity and qualities as cast Fe. The turbo will sit on top of the heating opening with a laser cut flange to suit a GT1544 which has the flange facing right way etc. Will just need 90 degree tube to fit extended customised stock inlet mani inlet manifold has to be extended with custom small plenum but flow remains equalised.
Even though it all sits higher than usual setups it will clear most engine bays like tiny 1000 & still manage to fit SU carb perhaps a shorter height HIF6 or compact Stromberg cd175 (Rover V8) etc.
eg.
Its ghetto as cheap but should be good enough for a clean compact setup that wont cost the earth & can be upgraded to nice turbo ex manifold later. Maybe a flat plate can be welded underneath ex mani for extra webbing strength.
What do you guys think of my Supremo Favela manifold ideas?
