Hi ladz, was thinking of purchasing a stainless manifold from Toyosport, but before wasting £££ could anyone tell me if they are any good and worth buying?? thanx :smiley:
-
not worth it, spend your money elsewhere
-
any recommendations Houston? :smiley:

what have you had done so far?
-
new coilpacks
standard plugs
standard MAF
coolant censor
new bottom arms
changed oil, oil filters
put on a cold air induction kit from toyosport ( recommended from wayne)
cleaned out the TB.
since doing this the car runs really well with plenty of pull, the flywheel is starting to knock so im gonna replace with the g60 & vr6 clutch.
i bought the car for 700 with no history about 4 months ago from a guy in sheffield, he said the belt & water pump waschanged at 85,000 miles
the inside is in very good condition and it has 18" rs4s on it
i was just wondering what to do next, silicon TIP and5 piece hose set???

i noticed no mention of a remap? if you havent had it done then that should be your next mod.
!!! after youve sorted the flywheel!!! very quickly, my dads passat is now in need of a new engine thanks to the flywheel knocking, vibrations through the crank broke the oil pump, siezed the crank and stripped the timing belt, to say he was pissed off is an understatement, now im stuck with the job of replacing it, big job on these!
-
nitemare!! mine is more of a vibration than a knock to tell ya truth, its been doin it for about 2an half months, its not gettin any worse like.
Im off to majorca for wk 2morow so its priority soon as i get back, dont suppose ya know where does a cheap g60 fly & vr6 clutch do ya??
il be getting it remapped soon as thats done and ive replaced the TIP with a silicine one, prob take a day off work and take it down to r-tech
bit of a trek from boro but ive heard they the best at it and il enjoy the drive home :grin:
-
By boro i guess you mean middlesbrough?
If so bft are close and good could be an option if you dont wana take a day off work to go down to rtech

Is that wher you got yours done like mate? how much does it cost and where abouts are they? if you dont mind me asking :smiley:
-
you can port the standard manifold a bit to help gas flow and reduce the temps on the collector :wink:

fords are notorious for crap designed exhausts tho, the vw manifold is of a decent design and no need to upgrade till you push serious bhp.
plus xr2i, no turbo, a good tubular manifold on any n/a engine will make a good difference, turbo not so much
