nice looking peice, what amount of boost can a 10:1 cr motor handle safely and is reliable?

$700 is a little steep tho. Something a bit more managable would be in the price range of $300-400.

$700 is cheap for that quality of work. All tig welded and SS.

my thoughts exactly...

Compaired to a similar Full Race brand tubular manifold for a honda this is a STEAL!

I bet Full Race has sold HUNDREDS of their manifolds and they still cost 975.


I just double checked... they now run 1199 TO 1499.

If I were building that manifold, and I could, they'd be the same price.

This explains why BMCrace now has M42 head flanges... it also tells me that 666fab shops at BMC just like I do

It does suck though... you lose the coil packs, washer bottle and A/C and you still have to dent the frame rail to make it fit.

that manifold rocks!  if i were goin turbo, i would care less about the A/C, i would switch to COP conversion, and the washer bottle could be swapped to a 325ix (which is what i am swapping to anyway). as for the frame rail, oh well its all for a common good

[dude8383]

dude said there is enough room to keep a/c

looks like some good quality work and for the price, to rich for my blood but it sounds right for a good mani. haha, i love the mock up motor too. bitch dont look like it even runs.

Hi guys, you keep the coil packs, you just relocate them to the tray behind the shock tower. A/C should still fit with a little tweaking and some heat wrap for good measure. Also the frame rail pinch weld is all that gets bent. The manifold physically fits w/o doing that but Im not comfortable with as small of a clearence that your left with. If you ever take it off you can simply bend it back into place. Youll be cutting your car to fit an intercooler anyway so a slight bend to keep the runners from being kinked with a bunch off-tangent cut bends is more desireable from both performance and assembly aspects.

P.S. that motor was running strong but is just half disassembled. The car is being built in conjunction with another shop for a customer and is getting a fully built motor and intake manifold as well  Intake manifold will also be available for sale once its complete.

I look forward to seeing that intake mani. The one you have for the m20 is sick. Reminds me of the GReddy intake for the Nissans.

Oh and welcome to the forum!

All of the fabricators I spoke to about a custom manifold quoted at least 2X that asking price.

yay jon is finally on m42club... aye man any word on the 318is skid plates?

I wanted to do something special with one of these cars... which is almost exactly what Jon is doing. Now I don't feel so bad about bailing on my project.
