I'll have a manifold please Dan.

If Scotty buys this coupe he'd be in too.

thank you very much :)
the majority go either blow through or draw through carby setups.
blow through carby is pretty difficlut to get set up well, as a relyable engine.
the best option is to go with a drawthrogh SU/ stromberg or go injection.
i have a injection manifold that i am currently modifying to suit these setups as i am going for a injected T25 setup.
its personal choice at the end of the day, but i have worked on a couple blow throgh setups and they were very difficult, a drawthrough you loose the opourtunity to intercool so it depends how far you really want to go.
injection is alot easier in the long run if yuo understand how to wire it all up, or you know some one that is capable (thats what im doing ) wiring confuzes me alot.
if your keen on a manifold let me know mate.
cheers
Dan

Great manifolds Gylezy.

Just wondering with everyone here being keen on a turbo manifold - just how are you going fuel these motors?

EFI? Blow through? Suck through? I was just curios as I will turbo an A series some time and was at a toss up between carbs or EFI for turboing?

ok so i will be putting in a baffle between the collector to prevent that effect. all sorted out.
im just waiting on the bends to come in and then i can start to manifactor them.
any more numbers guys?
cheers
Dan

i might be keen cos im sorting out an EFI setup now

hi Daniel, i am in pretoria sa, i like what i c, cannot c the first few pics thou can you mail them to me pls. i agree with alot of gays on the flow issue, but what do you want just a lekke toy, or raising the big boys? for a toy your on the way, for raising 10% more power can make the diff. Myself, i like thing neat and tidy, i would prob sand the welding and smooth everything over.

you say you going to manufacture some, Fantastic!
My advice (if wanted) build them to the customer spec and you'll prob end up making them look ever better.

Haha yea alot of people bought franks manifolds and i was one of them lol. now its just sitting in the shed because after almost gathering all my parts for the A15t i just said stuff it and decided to go ca18

You're right they're probably serving as over sized paperweights.

Dan's version have a considerably larger ID than the FDT manifolds and are much closer and higher up I believe. I'm sure he'll address the collector issue (or has intentions to) but really it wouldn't matter THAT much, a baffle would work fine.

not trying to hijack this thread, but on the topic of the frank the dolphin trainer manifolds, (That was what I thought when I saw the above pics too) I've been wondering of late what happened to all those manifolds? I would have thought with all the enthusiasim at the time that every 2nd or third datsun would have been turbo'd by now? Or is it just becuase I'm too lazy to browse project forum I've missed them all?

Increase in time to manufacture to make everything flow nice 200-300%

Increase in performance with everything flowing nice 5-10%

why bother on a old a-series just do it the easy way and get the 90-95% benefit!!!
