K Series Sidewinder Manifold Pics Inside
K swaps are one of our favorites and boosting them is just the icing on the cake. We had a customer looking for an easily accessible turbo location to mount his Precision 6262. We spent a lot of time routing this perfectly so there is no clearance issues at all and this runner design is sure to provide huge power gains up top....tell us what you think!

Looks great! Did you go this route to make the #3 and 4 runners longer? How is the clearance for the downpipe?

Yes runners 3&4 are ideally kept as close to the same overall length as 1&2....thus the routing you see above. The DP is kind of up in the air as far as I know the customer wanted to handle that on his own. I will keep this thread and our fab thread updated as things progress!

Going to leave that up to the customer, we were just making him the manifold. He is going to make the downpipe his way and handle the rest of the things that need to be completed.

Re: K Series Sidewinder Manifold Pics Inside
I would imagine with thermal coating on the DP and DEI Reflect-A-GOLD on the brake booster / firewall he should have no issues...but only he can make those choices. He only wanted us to build the manifold for him. We offered to do the rest as well.

Re: K Series Sidewinder Manifold Pics Inside
ya if he puts a proper heat shield up it will probably be fine

Re: K Series Sidewinder Manifold Pics Inside
Looks good guy, tell your fabricator good job. Its nice to see something different and even better to see a K series manifold without a jacked up turbo angle 
Here is my manifold analysis.
Degrees - 150 150 240 240
Cylinder - 4 3 2 1
I wouldn't worry so much about length and focus more on equalizing the bends per runner. This will lead to a much more even pressure drop across the board and more overall power. I would suggest switching runners 3 and 4 on the collector while adding about 75 degress per runner. I would also take about 15 degrees off that last bend on runners 2 and 1 to equalize everything. I'm also not a big fan when people use 90's to do semi-teardrop wastegates, just use half a "T", it will flow better. Just my $0.02
