Has anyone got a uprated manifold on the LCR?

[B3LSY]

has anyone got a uprated manifold on there LCR? i want one for mine but not alot of people make then? any ideas?

 

[Feel]

You looked in the JBS section?

 

[caveo]

Think JBS only do 1 for the k03s

 

[B3LSY]

who does one for the K04-023? or hybrid? i know someone who has made one up an it looks reall good but would have to wait for it to be made, need one now

 

[D.K]

I thought you was going to use the O/E one due to the cost of the uprated one.

 

[B3LSY]

just seeing how much people have paid for one or if anyone has actually got one

 

[dicko's]

what sort of power are the standard O/E ones good for?

 

[B3LSY]

not to sure been told it will take 300bhp ish which im aiming for

 

[D.K]

So if your aiming for 300 BHP and the O/E will go to 300 BHP then why pay the extra for an uprated one ???

 

[Phillc]

What benifits are there for changing...more BHP?

 

[B3LSY]

you can get gains of up to 10bhp+

 

[caveo]

Better spool and power holding

 

[B3LSY]

plus a standard manifold from a dealer is £249 pound an u can get a uprated for 380

Better spool and power holding

to a point, but unless you are going for a large port head, it could be perceived as pointless, as spending all that cash on the uprated manifold will make very little difference on the actual road Vs a standard one

yes, it may give 10bhp more on paper, but I could not say a manifold for £500 or more could be justified for those gains though, unless going big power

remember it does not matter how bigger manifold you go, as the small port heads can only flow so much, so still you are restricted and end up with a bottle neck type effect, therefore making the larger manifold upgrade pointless

If you were going BT, then a larger manifold coupled with a large port head would make sense

 

[caveo]

From where then ( link? )

Jamie are you thinking of an inlet mani??

 

[B3LSY]

ok Mr B i'll get a standard one will already got a second hand one coming £19

 

[D.K]

plus a standard manifold from a dealer is £249 pound an u can get a uprated for 380

I thought you said youd got an O/E one off Ebay for £20 ???

OH FFS

its been a long day! dealing with redundancy and all

ignore me, having a funny turn and brain is tired

OK, so......

yes if you want a manifold (not intake!!) then yes it is well worth it and can release a nice chunk of power

sorry belsy

ha ha ha lol wrong end of the stick jamie
