Ok Chaps,

I will start making a manifold for my R.

My idea is to make an sidewinder like Lovefab use to do ......

Please post pictures of Sidewinder Manifolds so that I can inspire myself.

Thanks,
B

Rob, did it have any bracing to the engine or gearbox? I'm just thinking it's a long way over holding all that weight on a very hot manifold. Was wondering if it could sag at all?

I was thinking about the water to air intercooler.

But will it be good for road / track use?

Is it better that the classic air to air?

Please feel free to discuss)

It was fine for a road car and allowed me to keep the car looking very standard, But If I used full boost it would start to knock back the ignition after about 30 seconds so I never used it on track with the charge cooler, I would think it would of coped better with less boost and a proper water reservoir fitted, Now days I think the simplicity of a air to air cooler is the best option, I've fitted an uprated top mount of my new one just to keep it looking box standard.
