I dont think they will be cheap though Its taken 4 weeks of man hours from the supplier and they aint cheap

Let me have your sample, and i'll get them made up quicker than that!! and at the right price!

>JP Exhausts<

I know them up there.. they copied the SBD Type C High Torque BTB manifold (1 7/8) for the C20XE by making a jig up and using a slightly different size of tubeing (1 3/4).. they can do in S/S or mild steel.. mild steel sounds better i would say! I paid £350 for S/S a mild steel would have been £250.

Once a jig is made up its a simple job!

Cheers

I'm trying guys, ok. Struggling to keep up at the moment.

I think people presume you only work on VX220s

The jig..

Is that Tannoy used for making exhaust noises?



Poor TMS. Getting a bit of a battering for working on the limits. Stick with it Thorney! The good stuff ain't easy....

We're stuggling under the volume of work, our own TB car hasn't moved for last month We're booked up until end April now almost and seeing as development work doesn't pay it has to take a back seat. Trying to find the time to finish off the last little bits.

You are right, but if you dont do the r/d you cant sell the product can you anyway we await.

Well it sounded sweet on the L2B! (thanks for revin her up so I could have a listen )

[Joe-Turbo]

i didnt even realise there was a TB car on the L2B

[mandarinvx]

The red NA complete with many black thorns up the side/back and sounding not dissimilar to a jet engine

[Joe-Turbo]

I saw the car, even pottled along side me for a while on the way back, didnt notice any funny sounds maybe only makes a racket under throttle?

Yep - only when 'giving it some' that it really started to roar I think the rev-limit had been set to over 8k too

I thought that these motors went bang at around 8300....

Trail and error for me showed 8157rpm before the crank snapped

We'll put customer car rev limits at 7500 I think, I'm running our car as a daily driver at the moment and its nigh on perfect I feel. We have the first customer car fitted at the moment so we'll be releasing it all next week.
