Hello, does anyone know of the best way to remove the exhaust manifold?
The area around it is so tight. which way does it come out?

Basically I have a 8 branch manifold that I want to fit.

on the RFY it'll come out the top easily enough if you remove the top r/h engine mounting arm and tilt the engine forwards.

fitting the new manifold will be a different task though, easiest way is to drop the subframe complete, unless the manifold is in 2 parts? not seen any 8 branck manifolds, most are just 4.

Ok cool ill do that..
Its just one piece.
The manifold is off a 405 Mi16. (if I recall correctly)

Nice one

that wont fit in a zx, the shape is quite different

The actual stud pattern on top is different, i was going to make a long 'washer' to clamp it up to the head.
Or is it the actual physical size of the manifold?

It's longer and the angle is different. So modifications to the downpipe are necessary.

ah ok, I might just forget about that one then.

if you want a decent manifold for it get in tough with miles at pugracing, not too far from you in Fordingbridge.

ther is one on ebay the now pricely but ther is one so they say
