New Wagner Cast Exhaust Manifold

[Bram]

Carsten will bring his Cast manifold also with T3 in Feb. Will that do the job for you?

The Production Run is startet. But the first Run is nearly sold out the next Batch is coming in 1-2 Month.

The Sq project is on hold because these is not enough demand (yet).

Herr Wagner (Carsten): Now that you have a batch done and out there, have you had a chance to flow test the actual manifold in direct comparison to the OE RS2 manifold? I saw some preliminary flow numbers from the plastic mock-up/model a while ago but I was skeptical because of the smoothness of the plastic.

I am hoping that you have flow numbers from the real manifold.

I'd post that question up on this thread as it was the American guys that flowed it http://www.motorgeek.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=14658

Just saw on the Wagner Tuning website that the new Wagner Cast EM with a T3 flange is available for 730 Euro.

Although the pictures are still from the K26 version of that same manifold.

bram,dont forget to give us feedback from the project!!

[Bram]

I will! My car is still at my tuner, because we got a delay with mapping the ECU. My ABY ECU did not seem to give any signal to the WGFV, so I had to buy another one. I really doubted to go for VEMS, but that was a bit too expensive at this moment of the year for me This also indicates my RS2 turbo was not the problem after all, because I thought the turbo was not able to produce any boost. Therefor I bought the GT3071R instead, which I will probably will not regret in the end I hope. :mischeif:

However I will update you all in my car topic once I have my Avant back

[Bram]

I found another nice picture of comparing the RS2 EM with the Wagner cast EM

Ah that reminds me! :mischeif:

Bram did you you get your car back so you got some new pics?

Yes I got my car back a few weeks ago. However i had no time yet to take proper pictures as it is raining a lot these days in NL and I have been traveling a lot for my job.

Maybe this afternoon I will take some more pics and start my own project thread.

Ow darn.....if I would have had more patience I would have bought the T3 version in combination with a GT30 today.......NICE!

[A80Avant]

my next plans!!!...hehehe

Carsten: Am I correct in thinking that when you designed the casting for the EVO manifold, you thought ahead and made the turbo flange area large enough for both the K26 and T3 hot-sides? From the photo, it looks like only difference between the two versions of the EVO are the machining around the outlet, i.e. the T3 manifold has to have more machining (to open the discharge area up and locate the holes for the studs).

Either way, kudos to you.

Yes, you are rigth, we designed the Flange Area a little big Bigger, always in Mind to use a OEM Garrett GT30.
The T3 Flange is machined, its the same Casting.
