Good Morning from here in SA guys.

I won a voucher for an aftermarket branch manifold and I was thinking of using it for our buggy's A15 (H89 head), but for the life of me I can't think of a single car made here in SA that was produced with an A15. What do I tell the vague face at the dealer? I've tried explaining A15, but their database (or the secretary) only understands car models.
Wouldn't it be the same as for A14 from a Nissan 1400 Bakkie?

Just tell them it's for a Bakkie A14 & hope they dont want to know the chassis number. The A14 & A15 are externally identical, the difference being the longer stroke crank of an A15 for the extra 100 cc's. If they do ask for a chassis number, ask to speak to the oldest guy there, who should be able to help you without refering to a computer . I've had experience with this before & some people just don't understand why you want something for one car & are fitting it to another. You just have to make it as easy as possible for them to do their jobs & not make them have to think about it.

So we strapped the Nissan 1400 4-1 Powerflow branch on the engine while on the bench and it ran beautifully! It felt really foot-loose. Ran through the RPM range.

All this convinced me to get one for my A15 in my own little GX. But I don't drive my GX like my brother drives his buggy. He literally drives it 'til it's gremlins get out. What I mean is he sticks to the higher RPM end. While ravaging the farm. I drive a little bit differently due to a lot of bad road and traffic.

- So I assumed a 4-2-1 makes more sense? I mean the original manifold was designed like that.
- Also, I was curious if those 100cc's would make a difference. I bored it to 77mm to be safe when I serviced the sub-assembly, but I mean, if I'm going to spend the money, shouldn't I be looking for an A15's Branch?
- Lastly, what size should I go for? I currently have a 57mm from where the 2 pipes after the original flange join.
