It will be interesting to see the collector for this lot, there is a lot of pipe to bring together. The design looks very neat though across the back of the head/block.

The collector is going to be tricky. The outers do actually join at the end of the head. I'm planning on taking the centre and outer branches forward to the turbo and then a collector to take them down to the 38mm dia. GT17 inlet.

I do really, really like that manifold. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Just to put my fab hat on for a minute. Are we really saying that such a manifold can increase the VE significantly? (10% based in wintersurfs figures).

Robert seems to think his figures are about 20-25bhp optimistic at the smart rr day.

It it was me I'd bin the side rad and put the turbo on that side if possible. With turbo, flywheel and driver all on one side corner weights will be a pain. Still, a lovey job, with thought and theory behind the design. I think I'm right in saying that VE of an engine is all in the head design. So binning the 5-port would be the easiest way surely. It is an interesting execise to see what the 5-port can do, but ultimately head design is the way to similar power-per-psi as a modern 16v motor. I'll not argue with that, but this is a 5 Port project. Surely though, you would not spend £1000 on a 7 Port and then bolt on the Metro Turbo exhaust manifold.....would you? There is no arguement that the MT manifold works, but we do not know if there are benefits to be had by using tuned lengths. That's how most the other engine tuners do it, so the probability of some gains is quite high. For my project, I was going to make a new manifold anyway as I don't want to cut the bulkhead. A few quids worth of extra stainless and we are sorted. Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

But I'm not short on power with the metty manifold and neither are others. And I'm not after more power necessarily, but all the advantages FI can give me, traction control, launch control plus it's lighter. There is of course scope to change the manifold in the future when it is maybe a restriction to performance. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Ok, I understand the logic. We already have the potential for traction and launch control.
