New manifold-any ideas????

Hi Guys. Seeing as the K is on the garage floor again do ‘we’ have any suggestions?

After a dyno sesh at emerald gearys manifold was suggested?

It didnt quite get to 200hp and the manifold might just be restricting it a bit.

Not too fussed about power as its fine but if anyone has a good used one which will bolt onto the back of the existing zaust or a full replacement shout up

Any armchair advice will be listened to but not likely to be followed :wink:

Cheers

Simon

I know what your going through, my K series is in the living room but I can say that I have an EP big bore manifold in the second bedroom. It looks really nice.

I have the Geary manifold and quite frankly for the �500 it cost you would be hard pressed to notice the differance.
I think there is a misunderstanding as to just what the std VHPD manifold is as I think it is possible the recomendation come from people not knowing that the Piper manifold is the same tube diamater and is 4–2–1 its just a bit shorter than GPs and not SS.
thats my penny woth!

Simon - the std VHPD Janspeed manifold is just fine (says me sitting in my very comfy armchair :slight_smile: )

btw did your VHPD get balanced during its rebuild?

Simon,

Purely as an “armchair” researcher, what about this:

Might be worth making them an offer.

That’s a stock manifold by the looks.

I’m letting my inexperience show through, George! I think I may have thrown you a duff ball there Simon.

Have you spoke to Jim @ 2bular?

When I looked at it I thought it looked very similar!!!

No chap I have decided to shelve the idea in favour of just trying to get a few non leaky non smokey road miles before its time to shovel snow again!!!

Haha don’t worry… soon you’ll have your one in bits and you’ll be able to identify a caster shim at 100 paces :wink:

the castor shims are sat on the tops of the wishbones - I have intimate knowledge :frowning:
