you answered your own question....... cheap manifold = cheap material used and its thinner.. thats why it is glowing

r_Senik

well i know its cheap and crappy but should it b that crappy? he only drove it for like 500 miles. i dont know maybe i can try to get him a love fab or somthing.

Bailhatch

probably really rich

Jeffescortlx

Might of pulled too much timing, or your lean.

PrettyLude

i think you would be running more rich than lean

Bailhatch

ya, really retarted timing might do it but it's probably just dumping fuel

you should throw ice cold water on it to drop the temp.

MidShipCivic

Uh 2 words Heat + Backpressure.

r_Senik

well if its running rich how can i lean it out? hes using the aem ems and he have used the 440 calibration on 550 injectors. i dont know he just barley broke it in.

Glowing red manifold is never good. You should fix that asap before you melt a piston or valve.

Are you sure about this? All it is going to do is CRACK the damn piece of **** anyways!! Bad idea.

PLRacer

if u had a EGT sensor you would know if its the exhaust running too hot or if it's just the crappy manifold

pete98m3

just because its thin doesn't mean it should be glowing. Your tune is off.

if you had that same tune, and you put a car with a full race mani on a dyno and held it under load for long enough IT would glow too.

Stainless doesn't glow at different tempuratures regardless, check into your tune / egt's...

willie_su2166

crappy manifold may be one reason, but I would say it may be your timing is off, coz it happen on my friend's nisson 240, and it was because timing problem.

could be running rich as hell or serious backpressure. what size and condition is this turbo?

r_Senik

i think the size of the turbo is t 70 and it is new.

Bailhatch

what managment and what adjustment have been made?

r_Senik

hes running the 440 calibration on the aem ems.

You guys are stoopid. "crappy manifold" has nothing to do with it. Go find something else better to say.

Glowing manifold is a common thing with boost. But when you glow underboost, its your TUNE. Like aboved mentioned. Check your EGT and see wasssup..

BTW.. SSauto gets my thumbs up.

My manifold glows orange/red but thats only bacause I know i am running rich, my timing is retarded a degree and my manifold is cast iron. They are the worst for glowing. It stays hot as hell for hours also!

Also common with NA headers, and turbo mani's on factory setups. Nothing unusual at all.

Just running rich then, And don't mind everyone hating the manifold. They hate everything that ain't Full Race or LoveFab.

r_Senik
