YES! MTM EM K27 for 261€..

[Wolfgang]

hey guys,

yesterday evening i had a real good deal on ebay..

there was an MTM cast iron exhaust manifold, with K27 flange....

i got it for 261€ plus 10€ shipping..

obviously it´s used and has some cracks, but no matter about that, it´s good enough for flow-tests in comparism to my SQ EM and some good photos.. ;-)

sadly the K27 version is sold out at the moment, only ONE K26 version is available for 1309€ at the moment at MTM.... just phoned with the MTM guys, and they said that these EM´s in both versions are built again.. available in 6months or something..

i was always wondering if the MTM EM better is than the original SQ....

Maybe this MTM EM could be "repaired" after sandblasting..

hopefully Carstens SQ Evo Manifold is going to be sold soon, so there can be another flow-comparism with the other two ones...

Really happy about that..

Nice bargain that! The Wagner RS2 EVO outflows the SQ and the MTM manifold when I did some investigation into it so his SQ version will be a monster.

From my own knowledge cast manifolds can not been repaired if there are cracks thru the complete material, ive tested on 2 cars, first one broke after 20km, changed that to an new item. and 1 manifold i welded, cracked, welded and drilled a bit down at the ends of the weld to reduce "pressure" from the weld or what you should call it in english, cracked again, tried with special stuff to the weld, cracked AGAIN.

took it of and threw it

I think you have to weld in a enviroment. Maybe carsten could tell us more?

[Puglife]

Normally you have to preheat the casting to a high temp for the filler metal to fuse properly... theres been some varied success on cast 10vT Quattro manifolds using preheat and gas welding...

He has talked about it before http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthr...ods#post280255

And Wabtheking has posted a link to a company that repairs cast iron http://www.cast-iron-repair.co.uk/

maybe a k27?

[Jamo]

AFAIK K27 and T3 flange are directly interchangeable so any T3 turbo would fit

@Wolfgang, i can fix the Cracks for you, no big deal... but only if you need to

[GazzaG60]

MTM never made a Tubular, thats one of our very first tubular Manifolds, with the old collector. There is now a 1:1 Chinese Copy on the Market, but made from SS304.
