Tony Posted May 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 This is an engine in a MX5 with an added turbo and many other engine mods including a work of art manifold.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 That manifold looks awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickT Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Simply lovely piece of engineering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 I think it's designed to ensure the exit pressure on all cylinders is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Tony. Not to do with exit pressure.. First consider this is a 4-2-1 exhaust manifold and Consider the exhaust gas from each cylinder to be a set body size.. I. E a 2 inch glug traveling down the pipe. As that glug of exhaust gas exist the cumustion chamber and starts heading down the pipe it creates a mini vacuum behind it. After a known time period (will cover this in a moment) the glug gets to the exhaust section where it joins I. E. The first 2-1... As this exhaust gas glug merges with the other joining pipe that vacuum is shared with both header pipes. At exactly the moment this occurs, the exhaust valves from the other pipe opens. This means that the sudden mini vaccum 'sucks' the exhaust gasses out the cylinder a bit quicker than normal. There is a significant amount of information about tuned exhaust pipes and it is incredible how critical gas flow is. If this is in to a turbo, then having eqaul length pipes allows a smoother turbo spool and is less likely to suffer with minor boost fluctuations. However you only need to worry about this if your chasing high and reliable power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Since this car has a turbo then i assume that's why the manifold is an exotic design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Helps ensure that the spool is smoother and more efficient. What's better.. One big blow every revolution or 1 smaller more efficient blow every 1/4 turn. Also the negative pressure after each exhaust pulse is still extant up the to point of the pipes meeting. So even though there is now a giant spinny thing in the way.. You can still gain efficiency by tuning and matching the exhaust lengths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 So the length does have a positive reason behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Certainly does Tony. Car manufacturers don't care, but if your chasing performance it certainly does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I assume the high enders do care..... Seems like simple math so why not include this with every car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
