OK is this someone on here?
I was searching Ebay and came across these SMI. From Waite Park, MN

Look home made but might be from a vender.

Re: OK who's making these?
Right there in the add, says THESE ARE MADE BY BULLDOG RACING. They're selling them on Ebay now under a new name it seems like.

Re: OK who's making these?
I'd guess it would be old "supra dave".

Re: OK who's making these?
Anyone want to comment on the build quality? Looks pretty decent for the $$.

That's what I was thinking. The flange that bolts to the head looks a little thin though.

Re: OK who's making these?
Anyone running one? Im curious as to how it performs, and where it makes its peak improvements.

Re: OK who's making these?
I looked into getting one of these a few weeks ago, was skeptical though because it was on eBay, so I forgot about it.
If they turn out to be good, I'd probably get one since I've been looking for one and not wanting to spend a huge amount of money.

Re: OK who's making these?
Looks like a piece of shit to me. There are reasons why manifolds such as the Magnus and JM Fabrications are tapered. I'd hate to see what Pro/E or Cosmos, let alone an actual IC engine manifold design software, would kick out as a simulated fluid flow in that box. When I see a dyno chart proving me wrong compared to what's already on the market, I'll retract my statements.

Re: OK who's making these?
I agree with you Jakey. They look like a box with runners and a flange. The "flange" for the throttle body doesnt even really look like a flange. It looks like they took a hole saw to the end then drilled some holes for the t-body bolts.
Maybe I am wrong but it just looks like a way for someone to make some quick cash.

You won't see any proof, because you are right. It seems no one knows how to make anything right.

Re: OK who's making these?
Yes we did make them. They are not the best design on the market. They are worth the money though in my opinion. In testing there was a 37whp gain with a 50 trim- there are other manifolds on the market that would probley do better than this but not a bad gain for the money invested. However, it is now discountinued. We have been working on and now have a better manifold for the money:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=8039260070
If anyone doubts the power potential of our new manifolds I'd be willing to stack it up to the competition. Yes it weighs a little more than others, yes it looks similar to other designs from other manufacturers, yes it makes just as much power, and yes it costs quite a bit less. Also, we are throwing in a free heat barrier intake manifold gasket with purchase (avalible in about a week or so) Hope this answers some questions. The 2g version will be out soon and will be the same price. When I get some time to desgin it there will possibly be a bracket for the ignition pack included as well. Thanks! |

Re: OK who's making these?
So I'm seeing two visual differences between your manifold and the Magnus:
-Cost
-Radius of the velocity stack
Am I correct?
