SAMS BLACK LCR GT2871 build. THE END :( !!!

[sambryant]

Nice piece of hardware, whats the cut out on the bolt hole on the collector for though??
Shiny, shiny

thanks m8, its truly a work of art. not to sure why they cut that out, its pretty tricky to fit so it must be to help in some way. if the head is coming off then it will make no difference. just a wild guess

 

[sambryant]

Cant wait to see your plans unfold mate, your motors going to be immense

 

[Ronin225]

So if the heads coming off is anything being done to that?
1 piece exhaust valves?? porting and gas flowing while your doing rods??

no just the rods and replacing oem parts with oem. i have no plans for going bt. my plan is max out the K04 then go hybrid. i have wmi so that and the mani should work well together
i may look into having the inlet mani ported but not sure yet. i dont think at the level of tuning im going for, porting isnt that important.

V nice sam

Cars turning into a beast
Least with the rods fitted too it will take a weight off your mind everytime its floored!

Not considering the 1 piece exhaust valves as the OE ones are know to fail
Broken exhaust valves were the reason i managed to get my BT kit

quiet you im trying to save money lol. every time i think im getting there someone always says have you thought about this? lol Dont know what to do now

 

[Ronin225]

They could be ok on OE rev limit but many maps extend this and if your going hybrid it would be a shame to have to limit it.
I think the guy i got the kit from had them go at 7.2k rpm
I know Phillc has them for his rebuild

 

[sambryant]

thanks ron thats helps. one thing i dont do is hit the limiter. i never go beyond 6.5k

hello all, just thought i would post my latest goodie
its the new version relentless manifold. (will be doing a full review)
pics





i have to say the quality between this new version and the old one is night and day. flanges are flat, welding is spot on and the quality of stainless steel seems better. really looking forward to fitting and seeing how much power can be gained. i have also ordered a few other parts for my engine rebuild. i have the very fancy IE timing belt kit , oem rod bearings and gaskets on the way. Milltek exhaust should be with me tomorrow

that xs mani looks much much better

 

[sambryant]

that xs mani looks much much better

hello bill just the man i wanted to talk to infact just asked you a question on the audi forum. yes the manifold is 100x better than the old one you had at b5. flanges are flat and the quality of welding and stainless used seems so much better can i bring it up to your place?

 

[Murdered LCR]

Valves are cheap mate just get the 8 exhaust valves

 

[sambryant]

cool thanks dan oem ones or uprated?

 

[Ronin225]

I think the ferrea ones are about $350

 

[sambryant]

any good

[Ronin225]

Yes, various degrees of quality on there too depending on your setup's needs

 

[sambryant]

Cool i will get these ordered. May put the build back a couple of weeks but i guess its worth it what sort of rpm are these good for?

 

[cupra_r_ick]

You got too much cash kid

 

[Tingle13]

Really liking this good work bud

 

[sambryant]

i also order the following parts
