yakuza racer 16 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 the mod, take a normal OBD1 manifold and cut the bottom out, weld it back up and it'll create more airflow, well thats the theoryhere's the link: http://www.dubnetworks.net/showthread.php?t=1254now my question is, will it make a difference???got a buddy that wants to sell one for £20 to me...... let me know if it's a good buy Link to post Share on other sites
spinksy 0 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 looks a good modification, would be interesting to see the results on RR (a before and after figure)a nice cheap mod Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 As far as I can see the webs inside that have been cut away are there to smooth the airflow and prevent turbulent flow. The restriction is still there but without anything to guide the air through. Obviously I can't comment on whether it will work or not but I can't see how it has been improved. Just my opinion.

Lukey. 381 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 youd think the restriction would be the throttle body/top of the inlet where the body meets, This part isnt changed so how would it flow any more? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Just buy a schrick. Not worth doing.... Link to post Share on other sites
spinksy 0 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Just buy a schrick. Not worth doing....easy saying that, but when the only schrick one I've found is at £1000 second hand on ebay (which for an inlet manifold is just ridiculous) a home made item for most is a much more realistic option!

Schricks go for around 800 quid on forums now-a-days and worth every penny, totally changes the characteristics of the car and no 'hacked to bits' manifold will come close.... Just think of all the thousands of pounds that go into developing inlets / schricks and some guys just comes along with a grinder and a welder..... Pete Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I sold my schrick for £600 so they come up every so often.People who have owned schricks rave about em, where as those who haven't say they are too expensive. Always baffles me that as they make the car sooooo much better to drive, hence why the 24v has them or same principle as standard Link to post Share on other sites
spinksy 0 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Don't get me wrong - I'd MUCH rather have a schrick one, and if I ever see one for a sensible price I'll probly buy one, I just like to see people make things that save money and show abit of creativite.

yakuza racer 16 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 the way i see it , you are increasing the volume of air that can be moved within the manifold, thus creating more air+fuel = power..... or so i thinkso nobody has done this yet?porting the throttle body made a world of difference on my car, so maybe this wont be that bad, and i dont have the cash for a shrick...
