You can never have too much on the wall

Sometimes it comes in handy
I found someone for my lightened cast flywheel and old race clutch
The multidrilled cam gear, cam and dellow clutch plate

All handy to someone... just not me

benefit of the j type set up, when we all get defected, at least you can unbolt it all and if you had the exhaust flanged you could replace it quickly yourself for roadworthy.

Dont have to unbolt manifolds from the engines saving on gaskets too.

im with topgear on this, j pipes worked great on a series for years. shiny and equal length runners may look the goods and in a perfect world give you every last kw/hp but for cost and simplicity sake on the a series for a daily reliable driver, j pipe set up would be enought to have you changing your jocks after a quick run through the hills.

you can have too much i'm at the stage where i need more garage walls

count me out for now .... pigdog i'll be in touch

i know one item that i can store on my car for you boof.... in case i forget my sunnies

Pic of half manifold complete from the coupe.




Pic of beginning half of manifold from the 1000 wags.




Modified forklift manifold from my old 1200 sedan.




J-Pipe setup I made for a 1200 sedan and the years later modified for 120y wags.




L18_B110 and I have had lengthy discussions about manifolds and one thing both of us can agree on, is that J-Pipes are a good simple design that function well.
When it comes to full manifolds you have to think about the motors intended purpose, street or drag. There is lots to research on design. Short log style manifolds might be good to for speed delivery, but they supply lots of heat to the turbo. This heat will soak into the compressor housing and increase inlet temps. Drag motors that run for 15 seconds wont be affected by this. Street motors are a different story. I believe the Gibson Exa might be a good example of a motor thats designed to run allday without fail.

Has it been researched what the costs are to make moulds and having manifolds cast?

ok everyone ive been down at a local welding shop and they have said they can do a manifold similar to the one everyone likes but made closer to the block and from mild steel for about $250 if we get a bulk order, the flange would be to suit a t2 trbo as thats the only one i own. I need definant number of who would be interested to get the exact price. make a list of names and them to a list
1.frankthedolphintrainer
2.
3.
and so on


it would also be able to use the stock intake for a boxed carb setup

mild steel? no steam pipe?
what would the wall thickness of this mild steel be?

im unsure ill have to find out.

Price sounds good Jake, how many takers will they need?

i'm interested.
