Got a new engine!!

thanks andy, it has been running a couple of times very briefly already, i will try and get a video of it when the exhaust is on and i drive it out of the garage or something.

WOW, nice work. Do you make manifolds for a living? The reason i ask is that I'll be wanting a new one pretty soon.

[Tilly819]

no i dont make them professionally, i would make one for someone else but it would be very expensive and i would need the car to be at my workshop since it would be a one off made to fit manifold.

thanks for the complements

Thats a work of art ..do you buy the prefab bends or do you have a bending machine ? where did you get the 4 -1 collector from ?

[Tilly819]

thanks, i do use pre made bends then cut them to what angle i require. wish i did have a bender, i might make one some day as i really fancy one. the collector is actualy a 4-2-1 made from 3 pre made 2 into 1 reducers, i think i got them from a company called jetex, they are ok but are mig welded so dont look quite as nice but they are quite a good price
the manifold consists of 1&3/4" primary's, 2" seconds and a 2&1/2 tail

Some interesting reading on here re exhaust manifolds for the Honda in a Caterham.

Lots of lovely tuning goodies too.

thanks for that, it is very interesting indeed, shame most of there parts are for the K20 engine
