Call GR - Tell him what you have and what you want (as in performance, etc)
Ask him how much for Supapipes and ask who stocks them if postage is too $$

Shouldnt be though.

I have a set on my 1132... great for a high performance engine.

Peter.

A couple of months ago I got a set of Maniflow LCB's with a RC-40 twin box setup from Karcraft delivered to my door for just over $400. Quieter than my old system and better fuel economy too. Running on a 1098 with mild cam.

I just discovered the 1.3injection manifold!

I`ll give it a go, cause I`m expecting less noise (cast iron)--> and more induction/exhaust-sounds :D
It`s shaped pretty well and has a pretty good place for the oxy-sensor (good for tuning the engine)!

Looks like it has verry good flow capapbilities. And an included heat-shield on top makes the carby feel better.
But... Don`t know if there ever were 1.3is in Australia...?

Cheers,
Jan

No factory 1.3i in Australia, however a few personal and grey imports have trickled in over the years. 8)

Anton, the motor I have in the LS is now a 1030cc, 282 cam, 1.75 SU and soon to have a better head fitted so maybe a LCB system is the way to go along with the RC-40??


Yeah I reckon there would be benefit with fitting some LCB extractors. About $265 but in your case probably worth it since the engine has had a bit of work. I run the three into ones and I'm reluctant to go to LCB system as they're a PITA to work with compared with simple three into ones. As Rob said, not too hard if you have two people, a bit stressful trying to fit it all up by yourself, but is possible.

The RC40-001 front engine pipe will need to be cut/shortened to fit too.

But please do not weld together y-piece and manifold ;)
It`s kind of difficult to remoce the LCBeast if weldet to the exhaust ;) :D
Clamps do their job pretty well at this point!

The Y piece has it's own clamps on it and the first join is under the car ie. the extractors already have the bend in them to go under the car. I used exhaust cement on all joins too.
