we would never "polish" a runner - either intake or exhaust
air like any other fluid needs help to change direction without inducing stall or detremental eddies

yes agreed i was refering to fancy port and polish jobs on smallblocks, some people are convinced a polish is the best method for high horses

True true i am kinda hoping it rocks.......... He has 7 made which kinda surprised me. steed offered me one but I have stock motor so it wont be a good run plus i have axle gremlins to sort out

Any plans to make a 12V version or just the 24V version like shown?

Yes KTA . What I need is a 1 st gen manifold so he can see if there is any real differences , If not it should be just rematch the ports and that should be about it

24V uses D ports. 12V uses rectangle ports. The manifold retains its rectangular cross section throughout. I think it would be an advantage to do that as well with a new one so it starts as a rectangle at the ports stays a rectangle in the tube and exits as a rectangle into the turbo so you could actually retain the same crossection throughout to minimize turbulence and maximize flow.

Yep you hit the nail on the head, he did that with the prototype just may have to fine tune it
I am kinda choked I cant go to the GTG wifey is takin her truck and the snow is melted so i have to work in my old truck and get my axle problem figured out :mad:

I have a stock manifold around here if you need one.

by **KTA** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 7:35 pm

Just use the same cross section as a stock gasket to maximize flow for a modded vehicle. Then it is already port matched. :lol:

might be cool to make these manifold with different options say if someone was going to run a turbo with a t3 flange on a 12 valve truck

any finished pics? also any pics of it on the truck? i want one from the looks of the pic above

$700!! was considering on getting one but for that price, I would be buying tires for my rig first!!

guess I will be going back to a stock one if I can find one...the 2 I looked at have the ears missing in a couple of places.

<sigh>
