well done mate great result, that maxim mani really is a work of art
if you don't mind me asking what made you go for the maxim over the mugen mani ?
just interested to know as they are about the same price and you could of had a complete mugen system8)

Ed,I really like what you`ve done to your Teg...just a couple of questions..could you let me know how much the Maxim mani is and if you know,will it fit straight on to a standard "type" exhaust..pm if you need to,Thanks David

 

[JCW]

dc5-2ltr - there's a group buy on manifolds in the for sale section atm, all the prices are in that thread

 

[chunman81]

i think the design and location of the airbox is the main problem for the dc5 and ep3

 

[Project]

tbh its just the same as all the B-series cars just rotated 180 degrees

 

[Jayk]

tops stuff

I read good things plus it looked well made, I have seen Mugen manifold in the flesh and although it is sweet I would say the M-Bit looks the better of the two (eg flexi sections can only be a good thing).

Prices for the manifolds are in another thread on manifolds - and yes the M-Bit will fit straight onto a standard exhaust - with all gaskets/other bits supplied with it too which is handy.

Gruppe M sorts that out nicely!

they should of designed a better location of the airbox

 

[Project]

They did the best they could with the space availiable, designers never think of things like airbox position when they are designing the car

Just to add a bit more detail to this post as I'm sure some people may read it wondering how the MPG of the car has been affected....

I am consistently getting about 300-350* miles to a tank of Shell V power fuel used on the road with various driving.

Thats about 30 -35MPG!!!!

* 350miles is only acheived when I spend about 1/2 the tank on the motorway, but this can either be cruising or flat out!

(http://www.eforecourt.com/calc_mpg.htm)


This car never fails to astonish me!! To put this in perspective I just travelled round North Wales in our R32 Golf which never managed more than 250 miles per tank (ish).

 

[Dark Blue Mark]

Whats the price on that M-Bit monster??

 

[AdrianK]

Theres a post on here from a trader that sells them, but it was a lot maybe £1500?

 

[ejwillistyles]

As above there is a post somewhere on here with comparison of prices, but I'm sure you will be able to get it for less than that :wink:

Update on power output to come....... :shock:
