  1. After a long research finally I bought from yahoo auctions a manifold for my glanza.Its a rare Jam iron cast manifold...the big deal with a Jam manifold is that it looks like stock retains the heat shields flows much better than a stock one it has very good crack resistance and it hasn't any restrictions inside ports.....also it is tubular and the ports are larger than stock!

  2. I m confused so i will try to find a Jam unit because I want to look stock user bonnet....i believe it is stronger and flows much better than stock with stock boost level....

    They don't crack easily. But they do crack, any manifold is prone to cracking. 

    Thanks for all the useful info

    The one I have has two small cracks which need to be repaired. The cracks don't affect the performance, but after so many heat cycles the crack may spread and ruin the manifold. 

    Can you send me some pics please.I want to inspect the cracks because I want to buy one and I want to know if they are repairable.

    Thanks a lot

    Yes ive got one that was heavily cracked. repairing them is a time consuming job as the cracks all need ground out completely, then it needs preheated, then welded with high nickel content filler wire or rod. then you need to let it cool down slowly then grind anything else back  and repeat each time.

    I think ive got pictures somewhere, but just had a quick look but not quite sure where they are. however a cracked jam manifold looks just like a normal cracked ct9 manifold i guess.

    So it's waste of time and money....what boost pressure do you run?maybe they hold easily the stock boost!

    Thanks for reply Bean

    This is my one t hey don't crack like oem manifold's as the restriction is gone so there's less heat build up  in terms of price you'll  be looking at £300++++ if you can find  some sold previously on the jap auctions  for mental money

    Thanks for reply Matty gt....so they are better than stock ones because they don't have restrictions.Pobably you get better performance with one of them.

    That's why I'm trying to find a jam manifold

  6. As title....i am a stock ep91 glanza owner

    When I push the throttle it boost fine(three lights on tacho an a lot of power and torgue) utlil 5000 5500 rpm the boost lows down (two lights on tacho and less power and torgue)

    Any suggestions

    Thanks
