And again, what are the advantages of a manifold like this as compared to a normal equal length manifold?
the big benifit is the fact that it places the turbo away from the radiator/fans... i dunno if it spools iup faster or naything liek that but the whole placement allows for use of stock radiator/fans gives you the abiltiy of using large turbos easier with better clearance etc

You can't get to him with email, I have said that many times. You have to call him, his number is on the website www.lovefab.com

Also, vPulsar, yours was held up going through the coaters. They STILL have Nick's setup there as they haven't finished. They had equipment die and had to order new stuff in to get the jobs done.

The rest of you that ordered and AREN'T getting coating, they should have been shipped 3-4 weeks ago as I physically saw each kit complete on the shelf. I will try and reach Cody today! I will direct him over to this thread.

They spool better with the larger merge collectors and they flow more exhaust gases for more peak power and typically better mid range torque. This has been proven over and over.

The better clearance and stuff is an added plus, though not ALL EL manifolds have that. This one on the other hand, does! It has more clearance than about any manifold I have seen in an SR FWD.

I know about the equipment hold up Brent ;) , But that was weeks ago and Cody sent me a mail saying it should be back with him two Thursdays ago ready for him to ship to me on the Friday, But I've heard nothing since :confused: , As for calling it's a bit more tricky for me to call living in Scotland and in a different time zone :( .

I'm not to bothered I'd just like an update so I know what's going on that's all mate :) .


Rob

That is because LNC hasn't gotten it back to him. They TOLD him it would be done and returned, but then it hasn't been finished yet. He told you that because he was told that by LNC, I don't think LNC is keeping up. Nick has been waiting over 4 weeks for his stuff and hasn't gotten anything yet.

OK Brent, A quick update would of sorted everything out though ;) .






Rob

Ive sent two emails myself and no reply

call him and he will pick up

i'm in the boat of living in New Zealand. Really want to get my hands on one of these.. and have another about 5 people over here that wouldnt mind one either... :-(

Where were you when we did the GB? He sent three sets overseas! If you want , I will call him, but he is really swamped right now, as everyone can tell.

Brent

Ok, just talked to Cody.,

Rob- your stuff is at the coaters and should be back to him Friday, they didn't ship last week like they said they would.

Anyone else - the kits are done and boxed but need to be shipped now. Cody has been on the road since last Friday and won't be home till the weekend.

CrackerJack - he is willing to do another GB run, but you have to get him VERY specific details of what EACH person wants ahead of time in terms of WG flange/turbo flange/etc He won't be able to start the GB run till the end of this month or early June.

Ok thanks Brent :cool: , I thought it had to be something like that but didn't hear anything.

Well my latest update from Cody has arrived, And he might have to remake my manifold and buy me a new turbo and waste gate, Because he can't get my order back from the coaters.

I tell you if anything can go wrong it will go wrong for me:confused: :redface: , The last time I made a large order to a US company (JGY Custom's) that went wrong to and it took over a year for me to get my parts.

Lets hope it doesn't take that long this time, I hope you guys that have your manifolds are enjoying them :( :( :( , Because I can't :redface: .




Rob

i have a received my manifold from cody,but is not a sidewinder manifold...
but i noticed that the ports on the head flange have a very strange design,not comparable to the stock ports...why???

Have you any pictures you can post up ?.





Rob

i don't have the manifold with me here so i can't post any pics...
it is in the machine shop since the flanges aren't palinand they need skimming....
the ports on the head flange are bigger than the ones on the head...i am confused.
did you receive you manifold rob?
does the head flange ports match the ports on nthe head-gasket?
