    Billet collector

    I'm getting a 1 of billet collector made with tial v-band fitment for my s2 aby coupe as I think these are far better design and flow quality to a standard collector. Haven't seen one on a custom s2 manifold before

    Nortech in Doncaster have been doing them for a while now. Not seen on for a 5 cylinder yet though.

      My mate has one on his Norteched Corsa VXR and its the bee's knees!

      Does anyone sell 5 pot collectors off the shelf? I know they are fairly easy to make but the chop saw i used kept deflecting the blade n not cutting accurately enough so gave up.

            No it is not, but Martin asked if there were any off the shelf 5 cylinder collectors. I was responding to his inquiry.

              Billet collector

              yes that's correct nortech do billet collectors for 4 cyl cars mostly vauxall I believe but they look so much nicer and better in many ways for flow he said he's not done a 5 cylinder one before so it's a 1 off seeing I'm making a custom manifold for my s2 I may as well do it properly now we have a new tig welder to make manifolds with

                James at nortech is sound. Done a couple of custom bits for my car. His unit is round corner from my dad's and he'd the most down to earth guy I've dealt with. If he's going to the trouble of designing and machining a 5 cylinder collector might be worth convincing him to do a batch of them, sure he won't have trouble shifting them. Especially with the newer 5cly market, tt-rs etc. I've had the 4cylinder ones in my hand and they're gorgeous.

                  What is wrong with traditional welded pieces again, other than bling factor?

                    They may look more bling to some urQguy,but if you was to look at one in person believe me they are quality.Yes traditional collectors are good but these are even superior in many ways.

                      Billets one look good but the price / performance ratio = not really worth it over a good welded collector IMO

                        Jamo to be honest when he quoted me the 1 of I was like that's fare, I have tubular manifold already which is very good but I want to make my own with a nortech billet collector. My mapper said there very good and he even recommends them to his clients when getting a manifold made by nortech. I will hopefully get rest of project finished soon then my engine fully built this winter and mapping early next year as this project has cost me a lot more than I expected

                            Darkside have just posted some pics of a 5cyl billet collector, but I'm pretty certain they get their parts from Nortech

                              Right I've finally going to get this billet collector made just wondering if anybody would be interested in 1 it's going to be £350 for one including vat that's 1 off made but if I was to order 5 he can drop the price a bit any one interested before I start ordering one for myself
