Anyone used TSR tubular Manifolds for LCR?

[james.l]

Had a look at these online, anyone used them, or got any reviews?

I'm sure bill has tested them mate drop him a message

 

[james.l]

Perhaps he'll come on in a bit

 

[lcrsammy]

Mmm they look tasty!

I have seen them, not used one personally as I get my own tubulars made to my design.

Their K04 manifold is lovely looking tho.

 

[seatcupramad23]

indeed they're k04 manifold is lovely but £780 in alot

spoke to TSR this morning,

they offer a lifetime guarantee against defects and faults as long as the EGT's dont exceed 950 which I think is reasonable.

how can they prove that out of curousity?

 

[james.l]

that was my thoughts,

measured where?
quantified how? thermal paint?

I totaly agree, just stating what I was told this morning.

 

[seatcupramad23]

i would ask how tey would prove that before i made a purchase

 

[james.l]

Would anyone expect to see EGT's above 950 on a decent unrestricted setup?

Analysis of the failed manifold would be able to show changes to the physical properties of the 321SS, at temps that high you get migration of carbides in the structure of the metal which leaves an area harder but more brittle and hence more likely to crack.

Microscopic analysis required!

there's your ansa lol

yes, but mesasured where... big big difference depending where you measure this

K04's can run 950'c measure in turbo's throat as an example
