Big or small port head??

[ian_cupra]

they still seem to think that my standard manifold is too large, and say that the gasket fits onto there manifold perfectly. so i'm going to remove my manifold tomorrow and see whats what.

still not gonna say who until there proved correct or not

So that manifold in the pic on the first page isnt of your standard manifold then?

XS Power or Impossible is my guess.

Any more pics of it by the way? Would like to see the quality.

It is wrong, no doubt about it.

they've sold you some crap, and T18con explained why

I am curious as to who it is though.

If they are being cooperative then there is no reason not to name them. Think of the people that you might save the hassle of buying one and having the same problem as you because you put the name of the company up.

The exhaust gasket will be way way bigger than those poxy small ports.

your supplier/manufacturer of exhaust manifold has made a mystake
whether your head is largeport or smallport is irrelevant as that pertains to inlet not exhaust size. (only small difference in largeport ex size)

It looks duff to me

theres the difference in ports. MASSIVE difference

XP Power tat from ebay isn't even that smal

 

[ian_cupra]

does any one have a standard manifold off there ibiza they could measure for me today?? i could compare that to the new one, to see if my standard one is wrong

 

[pj1985]

Dont think your standard on is wrong mate.

 

[m0rk]

But your std one is right?

I guess you bought a new gasket set too? that'll show the difference

Looks similar from the topside

 

[ian_cupra]

those differences in ports look similar too

That your way of saying its the jbs one then?

 

[ian_cupra]

fine its a jbs one, but not that one above, its not a equal length one

 

[ibizacupra]

40.8mm diameter ports on exh side on my laser profiled head flange as a reference.

 

[YerMother]

That's interesting! Have you contacted them and have they explained why!?

 

[ian_cupra]

they say that the manifold gasket is the same size as the ports on there maniold, which makes my standard one far to big!

this is the IHI one - ports look the bigger than yours?

who's gaskets?

OE VAG ones, or JBS supplied?

I'd trust the OE ones, if you have them handy

 

[pj1985]

If its not equal length which one is it?
