bit of an update, i made the other manifold with the anti reversion chambers and it worked ok!! i decided to look at the car again and i resoled i had mounted the engine off by a fair amount, it was leaning maybe 20 degs out! so i sorted that out and then there was a lot more room for the RHD steering shaft to clear the exhaust.

I bought a manifold from facebook market place, apparently its a skandix manifold, ive never heard of these people but then i havnt looked! i modded it at home and made this

What could we learn from this? Well, it is important with a right tune in exhaust pulses! Especially with a cam that is "open all day" :thumbright:

so finally took the car to the rollers after just fitting that manifold. It made 6 bhp less than with the cast manifold.

I am interested in the inlet now, i think that is part of the problem with the engine. To be fair though it does go really well. Just at 160 bhp id expect more numbers?
