We were canned because we mentioned Snortperformance was the source. All the sponsors who pay good money (unlike you and I) to have their stuff on the forum would have had good enough reason to ask for it to be removed on that basis only. As i said though, it's already had enough air time and i'll be helping in the background. Cheers. dan, you've killed my good reputation, lol. |

Ok,
Someone could tell us, Doh. : Fair enough I spose, I think the original question of where and how much, still is unclear. : They are available from around: $480 log Turbo Manifold in a group buy, $650 Long runner Turbo Manifold in a Group Buy, up to $1 500 for one, Long Runner Turbo Manifold. The Mods have spoken, and if the Group Buy thread can be found, it will be reposted. :sm_drool: Turbo Manifolds are available from, JMM, Snort, TSA, 6 boost, ebs 4l(gettin' away with it), Forums in group buys, and others. (appoligies dansedgli they were eb_ 4ls manifolds, I thought they were yours for some reason) How are you gettin' away with it eb_4lt? who do I bribe : |

They look good too ebs-4l,
I just worry about the heat near the steering joint thats all, may get it hot in circuit and drifting situitions, and hard to get engineered (there are minimum clearances allowed). But I'm from QLD where some reckon its just an engineers certificate thats needed for Turbo on E-Series approval. Can anyone Varify this? I was having a shop make some that seemed similarly close to the steering, so I didn't go with that design, or them, in the end (it worried me that much). What are your thought ebs-4l? Does the steering get too hot, or is it ok for you? |

Heckaz, the exhaust comes pretty close to the steering on a BA XR8, if ford can get away with just a little sheilding then so can we. I have about an inch between the steering box (XF falcon) and the dump pipe, I think it would get pretty hot if i was to do a big burnout or something involving high rev's and little air flow but hasn't stuffed it yet. BA type Starter motor is even closer, maybe a quarter of an inch, still keeps cranking though. Drifting should be ok, just don't do doughnuts. Heat sheilding cures everything, maybe i should use some.

Doh,
I love doing doughnuts... and big burnouts at willowbank, and want to retain burnout-ability. It's a must. The log style Turbo manifolds leave a lot of room from the accesories. Mmmmm... |

That heatshielding sounds good ebs 4l.
Espescially to stop these plastic brake boosters cracking, brakes and Steering, are probably the 2 most important safety aspects of a car. Many Turbo istallations have been knocked back on approval, because of not enogh clearance on these items, inadequate heat shielding etc. Does anyone know ifs you just need an engineers certificate in QLD for Turbo installs on e-series at the moment? |
