Hahahahahahaha!! Im going to try and go back when they dyno test them and if they dont care ill spill the beans.
I dont want to be that guy that told everyone haha. Trying to make friends not enemies LOLQuote:

It seem that they are making it for the BW EFR series turbochargers.
With a slight change in the head mounting hole placements, it could fit the N54 and N55 as well as the N52.
All 3 engines could use the same SS turbo manifold and use a smaller to bigger BW EFR turbos depending on the desired power level.
I say build it and I will bolt it to my 328 N52 and use the BW 6255 or 6258 turbo, the little guy.
I just need the manifold, BW EFR turbo and a downpipe.
CES Motorsport maybe???Quote:

Looks like Steed Speed is getting closer. Posted to their facebook yesterday

Lots of people talking shit about it on the N5X FB group. "its not real twin scroll" "its not symmetrical so it will flow like shit" "its just a knock off of motiv" blah blah blah.
I want to see real world results but looks good to me!
It is actually correct twinscroll for these motors, that's the funny thing. Look at twinscroll supra manifolds, they are the same way =)Quote:

I was curious as to why the chose to make it unsymmetrical. Is that the only way to make a twinscroll log-style manifold work on this car?Quote:

That would fit fine, but WG placement wouldn't be ideal and would hurt flow a bit. You could also use a single WG for a TS turbo, as long as it is divided up to the WG flange.Quote:

I mean shit, here is the "crappy" cast version making 700WHP, and 1350 WTQ, the flange is all the one to one end. What are the "experts" going to say about that?

@Fishayyy... That is not the only way to make a twin scroll bottom mount manifold. I have a tubular bottom mount twin scroll manifold instead of a log style.
Some interesting design features on their e36 twin scroll manifold, note single divided wastegate location/design and then 10.5-10.6 sec 1/4 mile, 138-142 MPH. Not too shabby.

No one here said it wouldn't make power. No one here said it is not a true twinscroll manifold. It's simply not as ideal as a twinscroll manifold with equal length runners. There is always some gains to be had with true equal length runners, which is why companies go to such lengths to achieve it, but it would have to be tubular. A log style will never have completely equal lengths anyway, do to the nature of the log style.Quote:

Overlaid it just for fun. Curves are remarkably similar, but that thing is making smooth early power. 686 graph is with vanos tuning the 699 run has OTS vanos. This is a great example of what a properly set up 700WHP E9X should be running in the 1/4 mile. Mid 10's at 140MPH.Quote:

So the point is? As this is essentially a good flowing log style, and as is the manifold you guys sell. The point is, lots of internet experts to pick shit apart, when the company actually invented that manifold design, and has been making them for years. This thing will work fine. I do not think its ideal personally, but everyone is a shit talker on the sidelines, while building nothing themselves. Obviously not you J. You have done as much as anyone to push this platform forward.Quote:
