Tubular manifold

[Adams_16v]

Anyone had any experience with one of these? Just wondered if they are worth the money or not

It looks exactly like the supersprint manifold and at the same price aswell?

I have the supersprint one and a full s+s system and It does feel like It pulls much better but I have not had the time to get it on the rolling road yet.

Ill try and get a pic of my one when I have time and If Its not raining.

Its only worth getting it if you are going to keep your car for a while.

wouldnt a williams one fit. they are tubular arent they

 

[clean16v]

i want one!!! have heard that they are not easy/cheap to be fitted

 

[Adams_16v]

Well my engine is in bits so it wouldnt be a problem I dont think. Bit pricey though! But if im going to see some befefits then ill buy it. Otherwise might be a waste of time. As for the Supersprint im waiting for a price at the moment.

Was speaking to eurostylinmg about BMC stuff and they bring in Supersprint. Apparently manifold costs 320 plus vat. Think we would get 10 per cent of this from carnoisseur or demon tweeks.

I would have thought the supersprint would be better tested on dyno etc than the ktec.

I have a supersprint manifold

is now beautiful blue-yellow-violetish ahh these valver temps

along with complete S-S. cat-free (as my valver never had one std.) system it gave serious butt-dyno improvement. really - low end just got born

although it have only made mailto:121hp@wheels">121hp@wheels BUT over
133 mailto:Nm@2000">Nm@2000 rpm
mailto:150Nm@2800">150Nm@2800
peak mailto:168@3400">168@3400
and over 160 up to 6100

" 91 16S, from PL " - PL means Im from Poland, but the price dont differ much here.


have heard that they are not easy/cheap to be fitted
I can assure You there is absolutely no need to umonunt the engine all you need is swiftness (and small hands)

 

[clean16v]

what other modifications do you have? peak torque at such low revs seems pretty good to me!!
