FULL RACE MANIFOLDS!!!!!

[Revmatch]

Sorry, I was thinking for an EGT gauge. But maybe that's not the best spot...IDK.


According to Pablo at SP63 (who will be performing an engine refresh -- including OEM Gen2 pistons and Carillo Super A rods) my recent compression test came up low in cylinder 3 as well as cylinder top looking like it ran hot. From my little understanding and what I'm trying to learn is it could have been a bad injector as well as some other factors (possibly flow imbalance from intake manifold-->exhaust manifold?). So I am thinking that monitoring the events in cylinder 3 might be smart.

Anyway, I'm liking this manifold as an integral part for my plans for the car.

Flow imbalance on the MS3 is pretty typical and cylinder 3 is the one that drops most often. A JMF Intake manifold, or even a ported stock manifold will help with this flow imbalance going into the engine.

Got them in stock!

Great manifold. My ceramic coating appears to have developed some small rust like stains. Any tips to cleaning those off or are they stuck there forever?

[Enki]

You sure it's not just discoloration due to heat? Mine is uncoated but has zero rust.

[neganox]

Nope. They just appeared one day.

Was it wrapped before?

[neganox]

It was not. I sprayed a little diluted orange degreaser and hit it with a little scotchbrite pad.. it took a good bit of it off.. but it think thats due to it taking some of the ceramic off as well. Meh.

That is very strange. It is stainless so it shouldn't rust at all. I'm going to send the picture to Full Race and see what they say.

I had 2 ceramic coated JBA shorty headers on a 2001 Dodge Dakota and they both developed similar rust spots. I replaced the first one and JBA sent me a second and had the same results. other than the rust , i never had performance issues. I have a ceramic coated CP-e exhaust mani waiting to be installed. Hopefully, won't have the same issues.

[neganox]

Thanks. Pretty sure its from something spraying on it. There appears to be the same effect on my bellmouth to my downpipe. I want to say coolant, but I'm not sure coolant would make that happen.

Sorry, I'm gonna bump after a year and ask @EdgeAutosport.com if it's possible to work out a bundle deal for the EFR 7163 and the manifold? I'm sitting here during the final hours of Cyber Monday and have been itching to add them to cart, but feel that a bundle deal would have eased me into pulling the trigger.
