5T4R7ET N/A Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Any updates on the manifold from starbus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 i speak for starbus when i can say he is uber busy at the min his site is live now but stil lacking in product as like i say he is very busyif i hear anything (I speak to him most days) ill let you people know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 ^^ o.k thanks. whats the name of his site? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbus Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 ^^ o.k thanks. whats the name of his site?www.race-tech.co.ukNot much on there at the moment as i've been really busy sorting various things.I could put a date in the for early next month to finalise the design. It would be much easier if somebody has a stock manifold to make a jig from, (will save me a trip to the breakers yard) so i could give a further discount if somebody provides this.I would need a small deposit from everybody wanting a manifold before providing a final priceAs for design's, i'd make the manifold to bolt upto the stock cat, i'd then make a seperate decat pipe. Or offer a straight through alternative with decat built in.I could tailor each manifold to suit peoples needs, as long as there isn't a HUGE difference in each, the price wouldn't change a lot. There's no point me making custom manifolds if there all going to be the same Price baised on 5, similar 4-2-1 manifolds, roughly 38mm primarys to 50mm secondary would be £250 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Sounds good. Anyone got a spair standard manifold they got lying around to donate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Are those sizes length or diameters? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Stevo has a spare 5efe exhaust mani and downpipe I think, which could be used to make mine from (think the 4efe and 5efe downpipes are a diff length due to the 5efe's taller block?)Could ask Joz if he has his old 4efe mani? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
STEVO9000 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I have the 5efe mani, no downpipe though, as it was butchered to get my cat and lamda off at that was almost seized in lol.I can lend the mani if needed, but will need it back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 That price is going to include delivery aswell isn't it?£250 is a bit more than I wanted to pay tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 That price is going to include delivery aswell isn't it?£250 is a bit more than I wanted to pay tbh.Same here, might have to pull out anyway, need money for uni. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jones 799 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 sorry 2 say but i have 2 pull out. cash needed for other things at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 was speaking to starbus and when he said they would eb roughly 250 i knew alot would pull out hahaalthough if you get 10 involved he may sort something out if ya luckythey will be very good quality alot better then OBX etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
STEVO9000 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Nowt wrong with OBX. Mines been on there for about 6,000 miles now, and not a problem with it, its quite strong and well made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 If i have these mods.Full 2inch Zort with decat. Middle box and back boxRam Air intake with heat shieldRolla ManiAdvanced TimingHow much more will the mani give.Total Bhp = ???Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems as u getting a custom mani to yur spec which is of high quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'm still up for it and I'm sure we can get atleast 5 people (we had 10 on the list but I'm sure there will be no more than a few that pull out).I'm going to let Rich buy one first though and let us know the results, money is tight at the moment, so I'm not going to gamble £250 and "hope" that it gives a good increase in performance.

BAZ2CRAZY Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Im still in guys, but im only parting with my money after i see the end product and see that it gives gains.Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 £250 is very good for a custom mani!!My local place quoted me £360!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A 4-2-1 is designed to give you a broader torque range which you will notice.RPM * Torque/5252 = Power (ish)I'm still up for it and I'm sure we can get atleast 5 people (we had 10 on the list but I'm sure there will be no more than a few that pull out).I'm going to let Rich buy one first though and let us know the results, money is tight at the moment, so I'm not going to gamble £250 and "hope" that it gives a good increase in performance.Thanks ^^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mines been on there for about 6,000 miles now, and not a problem with it, its quite strong and well made.nah not sayin there crap quality just they are produced in bulk etc these will be fully custom etc and specific for each car etcjust works out better value for money in my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbus Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm very confident it would be the best manifold out there for the 4e's. As above, it'd have a fairly large powerband and in this range you should see noticable gains over stock.Obviously it would depend on the rest of your car's spec. Obviously you'd ideally need a remap to gain the most from it, as you would any modification. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 It would be best to work under the assumption that almost everyone who is wanting to get more power out of the 4EFE will have alteast a corolla inlet manifold, uprated airbox panel filter or an "open" cone style filter, and possibly an exhaust system/decat.Not alot of people go past these basic bolt ons with the N/As, I think more people should tbh.

BAZ2CRAZY Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I agree with saying that people should take the 4efe further and by doing this (if its succesfull) could unlock the next tuning step for the 4efe especially if someone like toby could support by having them in his shop.Im actually considering holding off the 4efte swap for a bit longer, and try get the most out of the 4efe.
