Another exhaust manifold!

[Bram]

ask, for the Material... forged about Ductile Iron...

Hi Lupo,

I do not expect this STR manifold to last too long. It will just be an intermediate manifold for me and see how long it holds out. I really had my eyes on a 034 RSR manifold to buy next month, but now it's not available anymore

Too bad 034 or Wagner are not bringing a cast version any time soon, but this cheapo STR manifold is my only solution for now to start my turbo upgrade project during my summer holidays.

Do you see any alternative for me? An OEM RS2 manifold will crack anyway in the long-run and is quite expensive.

cheers,

Bram

Wagner are making a RS2 replica for 034

Bram,

the Manifold will come, there is no Question. Also in the rigth Material (D5-S)
It just a bigger Delay, between R&D and Production. The Tooling for the Manifold is getting made now... You will informed soon on the 034 or Wagner HP.

thanks

Will this log style STR RS" rep manifold really handle a 1000 BHP as they state, I would have thought back pressure would be massive at these flow rates (well above the 1.6:1 ideal) and cylinder flow would be very uneven which at these HP's would cause cylinder problems??

Can i ask why do manifolds on the S2/RS2 like the one above and the o.e RS2 version seem so weak when compared to say manifolds on other similar power cars ?

Is it due to our manifolds having 5 cylinders pumping heat through it where the majority of others only have 4 ?

[Billman]

Why do they seem weak?

Why do they seem weak?

As in cracking or snapping

[Jamo]

Because there is no flex pipe in the downpipe / exhaust system in standard form.

What stock turbo EM doesnt crack? i.e. Fiat Coupe 20V turbo EM crack sooner as any S2 - RS2 manifold.

I dont believe it, no. 3?

i bought one of them havent put it on my car yet and am not sure if it ever will. looks ok on the out side but when you start looking at the ports the casting is crap. the ports look like it is not at there full diamiter and i get the feeling that it will be worse than the standard s2 one. have been doing a bit of home porting now and then when i have a bit of time but will most likely end up bying a genuine rs2 em.

My stealer told me today there were no rs2 em's in the country, so you may be waiting some time!

Good luck a' hunting.

Think that's standard dealer talk for "it's too much hassle for me to get you one"!! I reckon it's a lot easier and cheaper to source one from Europe anyway! Not sure you'd ever hear Martyn at Vagparts telling you he can't get you one! Try harder!!

Maybe but how many are in germany?

Ask VAGparts and stealers order from the fatherland.

Ask P Diddy ( s2avant ) he's the man in the know
