Came across this pic, any idea who makes this manifold?

Ah sheepey built? Yeah I looked at the sidewinders but they are a bit different.

That don't look like Sheepey's build at all.

I read this wrong. I thought it was 'who makes one like this'. Wooooopsie.

What's the reason for wanting to know?

Looks like cx racing can have made it?

i pretty sure that was xs power ss auto chrome ebay etc.. remember seeing them a couple years back.

Mr.Spec

made in china by XYZ company for XYZ EBAY seller . in other words, no one reputable.

DNA motorsports T4 topmount. Very reputable.

It has some kind of name plate welded onto the front of the #1 runner, though...

That's a China/xspower/ssautochrome manifold

don't even bother. they crack under their own weight.

Cheers guys, was just curious that's all, hadn't seen that style.

Is that waste-gate even assumed to work effectively?

Freemananana

I'm not sure if the length of the runner would hurt the wastegates ability to function. But the original placement seems to be at the collector of the four cylinder pipes, which is good in theory.

Found some more pictures of this, just for the sake of the wastegate idea.





Can't find a shot of anyone with it installed. Surprise...

Is it just me, or does it look like they tacked the WG on as an afterthought?

Looks like it merges from 2 exits into one wg flange, maybe that improves the way it works.. Y'all see that don't you?

Who actually uses the HKS waste gate these days.... it's huge! lol

lol that wastegate pipe is horrible.

Quite a few actually.. Just not on Hondas and not in this country as much.

Hell, I still use an Old GReddy R BOV.. wouldn't trade it for the world.

tepid1

I was being sarcastic, but I guess that's tough to pickup over the interwebs.

boostjunkie757

that type of stuff is difficult to interpret via internets..

4drEF

I know, right!
To me, it looks like it can maybe work for 1-1/2 of the exhaust banks.
At that, I'm not even sure how well since it 90 degree turns and then has a long path to travel.
WG tube is almost as long as one of the exhaust tubes!
One of the WG tubes is large diameter and the other is tiny... that's where I get the 1/2 from.

How do you even fix that?

I think the number 3 cylinder is completely ungated with that manifold. Both of the pipes for the wastegate come off of the other side.

tepid1

It's a divided collector. I'm pretty sure that it's waste gate grabs from both sides of the collector. Then again, who knows with ebay/China crap.

Freemananana

iTrader: (3)

I honestly looked at it wrong. I thought there was a front and back picture of it. I hope it pulls from each side of the collector. But who knows! Most of the knock off log manifolds put the wastegate on a single cylinder.

www.ssautochrome.com made it JOHNNY ROTTEN they called it
