whats the air flow difference between the small and big manifolds i want as much flow as i could get

[FallenHero]

small port=more velocity less volume. the large port is less velocity and more volume..

However,,, I don't think the small port manifold will bolt up to the large port head....

what are you doing for a manifold the only ones i found

jdm one rare about $1000+ship
jgstools log 260 shipped
HKS 250 shipped cast log
custom 700+
Frotuo will make his for 650-700+ ship


i've seen i few manifolds on club4age that were made from REVHARD b-series manifolds

i might buy a b-series cut it and weld a 4age jgstools flange to it.

[nik]

look out washington people if i get this motor done you'll see it at HIN this year

[FallenHero]

wait, you are going to cut off the B-series flange and use the 4a flange... That's a great, cheap alternative. . Do you have a web page where they have done this?

nice. that's what I like to see. Outside the box thinking. Althought... i would probably go with a built in waste gate... I don't know how to work with those pictured.

for big power i was told by the shop to go external i just got some more parts i'll have to take a few pics of what i have and get them on here

[FallenHero]

hey, if it works for you that rocks. I just want to see how the Bseries manifold works... and how close it would be to fitting if you didn't change the flange.

[doGGy]

Nik, if ya going with the same Exhaust Mani, be prepared to loose your radiator, cut the hole in the hood and etc......

There is NO ROOM at all for somthing like this.... Then i builded my header, i got into these problems.... whats why i didnt go with the equal lenght pipes... Cuz there is no place at all......
