i know everyone love's Lovefab manifolds...but normally i hear the love towards the bigger/better/and more expensive manifolds...what does everyone think of the Shorty ?

 

bump

 

Bump because I also wanna know. I just contacted Cody about it, if I garner any useful info I'll relay it here.

bump, i want to know too.

LOL bump for me too...

 

It's a log manifold... Just like anything that anyone can make... If you can tig weld.

 

wow...did this topic come back from the dead....i posted it nearly 2 months ago...

 

lol, i still want to know!

designed only to last a LONG time, and to basically get the turbo on the car. Nothing more, nothing less!

I thought spark racing was making those for you..

 

how would the shorty compare to an inlinepro cast mani with power below 400 whp (maybe even below 350 whp)? is there much of a difference in spool times?

one more thing... am i an idiot, or how the hell do you check your oil with that thing in the way?

I would think they were about the same.............I dont have any proof though

 

inlinePro will flow more because there is more of a "collector". The log manifold will work, but not as well as an Inlinepro.
We have a more "conventional" stainless cast manifold coming out soon that will use a TRUE 4-1 merge collector, similar to the Cast Sidewinder.

Basically the cast Sidewinder w/o the cast part that makes it the Sidewinder then??
Just a flange on the bottom of the merge collector instead of a piece to connect the other cast part to?

 

Hey ????

 

to me it sounds like the shorty is one of the best manifolds for its price . 300 is around what drag manifolds go for, which seem much more common/popular, but they're notorious for boost creep. am i right that for $300, you can't get much better than the shorty? also, i can't spot the wastegate flange in the pictures... does it require the use of an internal wastegate?

 

cody, how much is that one?

 

Damn the cast sidewinder came out really nice Cody

 

The "conventional" manifold will be an upside down version of the cast sidewinder, yes, wastegate goes out the pass. side of the collector, and should be one of the most efficient manifolds EVER produced
From preliminary flow tests, the Cast SideWinder above flows slightly better than any of my other manifolds...I cant wait to see the "conventional" style
For the shorty manifolds, external wastegates are no problem/no extra charge...

... sounds very interesting... any idea how much this is going to be?... cant wait...

 

well, cheaper than the SideWinder because its one-piece. BUT, no AC though. If you want AC, SideWinder is where is at...

 

I love the look of the shorty. it is a good start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once my cams sell i will be ordering, i think right now they are backed up till after christmas anyway.

i would love to see a picture of the one wiht external wastegate.

 

Man... everytime I see that manifold it just blows my mind how that thing doesn't break witht he weight of a heavy turbo on the end

Quite an engineering feat

 

Its called a brace to hold the turbo

Oh? Hrmm guess I never spotted it??
