obviously a lot of ppl care... hence why they're not using this manifold.
ofcourse it works, but there is better.. simple as that :P

well if your gonna go to all the trouble of going turbo u may aswell do it properly instead of some "lebo" style manifold! which leads me to the question of why you are turboing in the first place? for an increase in performance or so you can brag to all ur mates?

It all depends what your after, a manifold like sunny's probably wont restrict anything until you start looking for power upwards of 18psi. I have no doubt Sunny's car will make more than 180rwkw when its intercooled and tuned. Without wanting to spend $3K on a fuel system I'd be pretty happy with that.

If it works why change it? The only benefits a $1500 manifold will give will be slightly earlier spooling time and maybe a tiny bit more power when you start looking for big power. Its completely unnecessary to spend the extra when your goal is only 200rwkw or less.

ok, this is my old manifold and it has no cracks, there was quite a lot of work involved in producing this manifold, it has been cnc machined out and they are cast steel not cast iron which is weldable.

I no longer own this manifold, it is being sold by its new owner, but i did have exceptionally good results with it, and obtain well into the 300rwkw mark with it, the inside as i said was totally cnc machined out so it has excellent flow, if anyone has any questions then they should pm, since we built this.

Oh i will ad that regardless on manifold designed, its the turbo that is the main restriction, always is, always will be regardless of manifold design. True a better designed manifold will improve top end performance, but hey i had 271rwkw's at 11psi with this, on a blue printed balance standard EF motor, otherwise stock, no head work, no cam. And we had massive improvements on its way up to 18psi, but never got to get a dyno print out to back it up, but it was well over the 300rwkw's mark, until i had someone destroy my turbo.

And as for cylinder pressures has the people saying this bothed to actually look inside one of these manifolds? They are quite well designed, the front 3 and back 3 come into the outlet and equally seperate, now all you need to do is machine it and redirect it so that if flows correctly out the outlet that is now on the side, with a nicely machined path for the exhaust gas to exit into the turbo.

Yeah those "better" manifolded turbo projects take 15 years, because you guys take your time to sit back and "research" and save cash for the expensive manifolds, which is retarded unless you're looking for 11's. I'm gunna be running high 13's in no time. This manifold would be great for someone looking for good gains without spending top dollar, so there's no reason to dismiss it as shit if it's not what you're on the market for.

This aint no leb style manifold. It's sick. Actually it is leb styles, and it's sick and it works. I'll race ya when it's done bro :o) I'm turboing it for all of the above ;) If you look at the manifolds that Ford designed/made when they were considering a turbo variant for the EAs, you'll see heaps of similarities with this one.

To add to that, look what EA Turbo Ghia said. You guys got shut down. I'm looking for good street performance not a "only driven to track and dyno days" car, and this manifold will do that for me.

I hate ****s that criticise people who are trying to do shit cheaper. If it works, don't question it.

Nicely said sundeep, i will also add that these power figures were obtained with a IHI RHB6 turbo that pictures where placed on here and many ford forums people had question'd it's size and made comments that it was way too small, in comparison to garrett yes a garrett that size would be too small, but for an IHI it was plenty big enough, for those of you that did doubt it the proof is in the figures, insadently that turbo got destroyed by a piece of metal going through the compressor wheel, curtious of an exhaust shop who made me a nice 3 inch intake and fitted it without cleaning it, it was then replace with 3 different Garrett turbo combinations and none of them compared in any way, in my personal opinion if i was to do it all again i would get twin IHI RHF5's off WRX's commonly seen on ebay and run them, on another lebo style manifold.

i never said it was a shit manifold.
i simply said there is better, and no one can argue that fact.

despite the claim of the turbo being the main restriction and a good manifold only improving top end, we also know it can improve spooling times.. which IN A STREET CAR matters.

Relax peoples, just a discussion.

I do have a question, how much would it cost to have the stock manifold high flowed, welded etc? Considering custom ones start from several hundred dollars there would want to be a half reasonable saving...

How much can Dave get his manifolds for now? I think other than modding the stock manifold, which would get expensive if you cant do it yourself, that would be the cheapest option.

We need more turbo falcons! Jack you're up!!

if i get my hands on the manifold like dave's, then i think that is 100% the way to go.
i was amazed at the price i was given, but i won't say anything about it until i actually have it in my hands and dave gives the ok :P

Yeah, key words "as it stands". I'll also have my turbo project finished for under $2k, where most are spending ~$6k+ and the 1/4 times will amount to jack shit differences for the extra amount.

Rollin, I'm about to mod my sig.

I think this thread is great.
I think "leb style manifold" needs to go to collins. That is just hilarious.

Is bankstown really that, umm, famous? (kinda like an ethnic Moe?)

Here's a Bankstown guy (I know his sister, she drives a 302W XW ) with his new manifold (non-leb-spec) ;) ;)
