Willy or Valver Manifold

[Smokey]

As above! Which one should i use!!

Willy one looks alot smaller and is round!!

 

[adiclio16v]

valver for low down torque, willy for top end power

adi

The Valver one was designed to compensate for the lack of low-down torque; the Willy one for the exact opposite.

So the valver one for extra grunt from the lights!!

What about a megane one? Same as a williams isnt it?

 

[JAY172]

a willy manifold is a proper 4 branch performance designed manifold.i think the megane manifold is different to the williams.

If you are going to fit a williams exhaust manifold you will also need the down pipe and cat as they are different to the 16v and will not match up. The 16v manifold design of 4-2-1 was homologated for the Williams rally car as it was found better for torque on acceleration. Although ugly the 16v set up works well on a 2.0l. The williams manifold system is a 4-1 which hellps with top end power. The megane 2.0l 16v has a fabricated manifold like found on the williams but is set up 4-2-1 with the twin section as seperate pipes at the manifold to downpipe split so again will not fit the 16v unless complete with down pipe and cat again. Space would also be very tight with the megane manifold as the split is much larger in area the either the 16v cast or williams fabricated systems. Hope this helps to crear things up.
