Its pretty simple eh...you talking about bolting the manifold to the head, or actually setting them up?

Its usually not the best idea to "adapt" something unless you know what your doing. Sidedrafts are pretty fiddly and if the two aren't setup equally you can run into problems.
Do you have pics?

hmmm no i dont aye.. i got a 4k in my 30.. it got a lumpy as can, planed head, lightened flywheel ect i just spent heaps on the dellortos and manifold lol

my guess , is that the missing 'thing' is the throttle cable wheel or cable clamp, not an issue to adapt.

i do hope it isn't a redline manifold, they are an absolute asshole to fit, and a few parts were needed to be made to make a mates one tighten up correctly.

haha yes it is a redline one and it wouldnt fit properly...

Whats the deal with the Redline manifolds? Can't you just have the faces planed?

Apparently they're made from a grade of aluminium that doesn't withstand the heat when bolted directly ontop of the exhaust manifold.

Interesting...I was thinking of making up some kind of phenolic spacer for it anyway.

yeah they seem shit actually so god dam light i feel as tho it will just shatter if i drop it lol...
um you have to have extractors for the manifold to even begin to fit

Hmm i think i'l be heat wrapping mine when i finally get my ass into gear and sort some out, however i won't be affording sideys for a little while yet and i'l remember that about redline manifolds

yeah i just bought one.. but now i gotta find someone to put everything together for me

that would be because the section that gets clamped is of varying thicknesses, the shaping where they butt up to the extractors needs to be trimmed, and you can't get your nuts (let alone a socket/spanner!) onto the manifold studs due to the intake runners being too close :roll:

so what do i do?

fangsport · Post by **fangsport** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 10:59 pm

get creative or get real matey with an engineer. :wink:

we opted for semi stepped washers to take up slack, made some 40mm long tube nuts fot the 2 inside studs, but still have to disassemble the whole bloody thing to get some clearance for the front upper stud.

AFAIK, there are no other new sidedraft manifolds available anymore

I'll just tweak mine til it fits good. Am definately gonna heatwrap the extractors too.
