Rising RPM exhaust manifold
Oh my lord look at this piece.... Rising RPM
Does anyone here have one? Thoughts? Concerns? spool characteristics compared to a long divided header? The price is pretty high....I'll probably be buying one though :icon_tup: http://www.risingrpm.com/images/800_2013b_01.jpg http://www.risingrpm.com/images/800_2013b_03.jpg http://www.risingrpm.com/images/800_2013b_08.jpg http://www.risingrpm.com/images/800_2013b_13.jpg http://www.risingrpm.com/images/800_2013b_14.jpg |
I wonder how many hours of machining goes into one of these.
|
If I had to guess a machine does all the work...the hours went into the CAD design..
It's definitely unique! I probably wouldn't give up my twinscroll manifold for it. Having said that, I would love to see a a dyno comparison using this manifold against a twinscroll keeping everything the same and see how well this manifold stacks up. |
it was just recently released and built to order so i think it'll be a while till se see one with a dyno. maybe a group buy? any one interested in setting that up?
id like one in the future! sexy as hell! |
that price is not high for a manifold
|
Wow it looks great though!!!
|
Looks like a great piece; they make quality products. I do think it should have been divided though/made it like the S5 stock manifold.
It probably wouldn't take much for them to change it. |
Slid chunk of steel

Everything from RisingRPM has been top notch. I wouldn't second guess the quality of any products from him. If you have any doubts, send him a message on twitter. He usually responds within a day or two.

Note that all the "curved" exterior parts were left as fairly rough step cuts, that is a timesaver (compare to interior curves where more time was spent because it matters). Also, given the proper equipment (which they probably have) you can make some pretty aggressive cuts in aluminum. It would also depend on how many axis their machine operates on. If removal of the billet and refixturing is required, that would significantly increase the time. I'd guess somewhere around 1-2 hours, I hope someone more knowledgeable chimes in... |
that actually looks a lot like my cartech manifold, except the cartech fits a t4 with the NA intake

Probably fewer than you think.

Or, just weld the divider in. |
But it says steel?

After looking at it closer, I think it could be machined with a divider. Centered at the turbo flange, just not centered between the ports
|
I think the benefit here is you can still run your emissions equipment but not on a stock ecu. Wonder if you can make the haltech run all emissions equipment. On my To4B with HKS log manifold I didn't run no emissions so the haltech was very easy to wire up.

My question is how well does the exhaust gasket hold up since it will be directly exposed to exhaust gasses due to the large open area between the ports.
|
That was my concern as well rotarygod
|
Yeah..isnt something going to happen since the exhaust is touching the engine itself instead of the designated housing ports

But the factory gasket is what it is so, the obvious solution is to make your own gasket. Shouldn't be too hard to whip up a metallic one if you have the ability to make the manifold. As stated above, it would only interest someone that wants a stock looking set-up and using a lot of stock components. Or,as I said before, bend one up and weld it in. |
