Modifying your 102mm manifold.

[Blown 540]

Place manifold on hard flat surface ,workshop floor is good,make sure to place on towel or rags so as not to scratch bottom.

You can also do 2 hole mod in bottom.

That may be so but by the sounds of things it's definitely not worth it

[ATOMIC MALOO R8]

[monaro_mad]

Lol i like your plan,i had thought about mounting a 1250 CFM dominator carby upside down and creating an inverse vortex going back through time and stopping myself from buying it.

I wish ,it was one of the first, i could have had a good holiday with what i paid.

[lukemcg]

I see, in that case, nice mod, maybe a sticky in the DIY section??

[zorro]

Duct tape should of fixed that up, ah well :lol:

[harro_89]

Nice mod. But is it common for these to split under boost? And what boost?

[Blown 540]

I could be wrong but I think Fast claims they are tested to 60 psi + , it didn't even get to 18 before it let go, fairly common theme apparently,of course they would be fine for N/A.

For those that don't know the top cover holds the pressure ,the runners are not sealed or to each other.

Probably not to bad for recycled chip packets.
