i bought it with the engine conversion already done. i bought the car last friday but the conv was done about a yr ago

found out is has a full jetex system on it anyway so i had powerflow sort it for me last nite. 50 notes

oh and the 300+ was for the stainless steel version

yer, if u payed that sort of high money for a courtney conversion and it comes with a cracked exhaust manifold then send it back they should get a new 1 or repair it

surely if you only got it friday courtney should sort the problem out for you

std is 1 7/8" I think.

ttt

they charge 3500 alone for the conversion including engine. lump was in when i got the car

What did you get for your 3500 notes square? c20xe, f20? sus and brakes?

I think its the same bore as standard but different lengths, meant to give 5-10bhp and a bit more torque.

Have a look at SBD's site

thanks for replies

wainey- ta but if it needs replacing its getting uprated at the same time.

does anyone have the sbd one @ £170? what bore is it?

is std 1.25 inch?

the manifolds which come on the early GTE's were stainless steel(i think!) apparently. When they get hot, they go purple! Lee was saying about it earlier on.

Stainless doesn't need tig welding. You can use mig, I believe powerflow use mig welds.

Tig is a lot better though.

mite be able to help u there mate, giv me a shout if your after one, i should have a standard manifold for a c20xe at my mates unit!;) its brand new aswell!:D 50notes if i still got it!:thumbs:

u can gte janspeed mild steel ones which are aprently identical to lexmaul ones but not stailess steel and they can be cut and welded easier as stainless steel requires a TIG welder i do belive? What ever manifold you buy it will have to be shortejnded and the flange cut and re welded on to join your CAT or existing system :)

SBD type A manifold(fast road) £170

just get a mild steel full sys back from the manifold :D

yer SBD manifolds are around the 300+ mark, tho because there grp A manifolds ull need a grp A exhaust system too

go check out SBD.....

give LuckyB a u2u..... he'll recommend a Laws one prob

£3500 inc engine

just out of interest, how much did courtnet charge?

you might be able to get it welded up, too get mine out you have too take the fan off.

got my 2l corsa on friday,couple of things need sorting on it. one of the probs is the manifold has cracked and i need a bit of help with it.


will it be a standard c20xe manifold (conversion was done @ courtney)

or are there any other brands that people can reccomend?


how easy is it to fit?


thanks :)
