k24 on tubular manifold will it work?

[andyg plym]

as some of you know my s2 is being a pita rite now,its running a stock k24 on a large tubular zorst manifold and im not sure if they are compatible?
anybody else using this set up with success?

[lind4hl]

most of the tubular manifolds are t3/t4, and you have an kkk flange, maybe some flange between them would work, but not good.

it worked fine on an rs2 turbo, is a k24 upto it? i dont see any boost

[WabTheKing]

know a couple of people using them with k24,

gt500 bought one but not fitted yet for his UR,

pembo has one on his rally car, had a few issues but kinda goes with the teritory of the envioment that car puts up with

cheers
will

[andyg plym]

would my homefry be ok? would of reckoned so , its all runnin crap rite now

[Rusty]

It'll work but I don't see that it's really necessary as the hot side of the k24 is pretty small so will more than likely be the limiting factor with a tubi fitted.

[andyg plym]

wot about wiv an rs2 turbo?

[Rusty]

Yeah, getting there although the RS2 EM is know to be good for 400+bhp so it's not a restriction, the hot side will be the prob still. Tubi are more like 500bhp IMO and you'll get more lag but a properly designed one will look good and won't do any harm, just not where I'd spend my money on a k24 or RS2 car TBH. If it's looking towards a GT30 or bigger then could be worth the effort. I've not read your boost thread yet, sounds like you're having a 'mare tho. Good luck with it. Check the WG spring if I was you.

done it already mate,,,,read the thread! its annoyin me now
temppted to put bk to stock. it all came to me wiv tubular manifold fitted,

First rule of fault finding, get it back to the last know working condition and then add the bits until you find the problem. Time consuming but a sure fire way of getting it sorted. Even if it doesn't work stock tehn you can discount the known working parts so it makes the check list smaller.

true but its fitted wiv a new custom 3" zorst,and it wouldnt fit stock manifold unless anyone wants to swap!

Why was the rs2 turbo taken off? for me it's the turbo, it's what makes the boost but it ain't my car.

A K24 aint that much smaller than a RS2 in size.

A unchipped RS2 is 315 bhp a chipped home fry K24 on 3" exhaust is going to be 290 odd bhp.

I cannot see how the manifold is going to stop it making boost, all it will do is make it more laggy as the air has to travel a longer distance.
