trav_555 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 I would say try and see if you can drive different cars with different setups and manifold/carby setups from memory the length of the intake changes your torque *don't hold me to that though* but i have heard good responses from people using these manifolds and it is the one i will go for when i change to twin sidies hope thats a bit of help Travis Quote
maxyboy55 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 from memory the length of the intake changes your torque *don't hold me to that though* Travis the length of the intake changes what rev your car makes more tourque, by harmonics/resonant pulses i.e. the air that has gone into the engine creates a vacuum in the runner, the air rushing into the runner to replace the vacuum meets the valve/s as they are opening, makeing volumetric efficiencies of up to 130% the longer your runners, the lower the rev this occurs :dance: Quote
trav_555 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 sweet cheers for the explanation :dance: Quote
kangaroosa Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 I used to use the redline one with my dellortos. Worked fine. I had mine years ago when they were reasonably priced though. Last time i heard they were retailing for around $320 Unfortunately you don't have alot of options in regards to manufacturers when it comes to sidedraft manifolds for K engines. Quote

Redwarf Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) DCOE is a side draft. Some of us believe that normal Webers are side draft. :dance: Edited March 2, 2009 by Redwarf Quote
philbey Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 .... it is the one i will go for when i change to twin sidies You bet it is, cos its about the only one you can get!

philbey Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 The sidedraft manifolds come up for ~100 bucks or so on ebay. He was going to sell you a downdraft manifold? For a Single Downdraft? Sounds like he was going to sell you a stock one haha. Quote
trav_555 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 You bet it is, cos its about the only one you can get! Last time I looked Offenhauser weren't makin em for 4k's haha. i thought you could get ebay ones too? unless there the same? cheers Travis Quote
