Is there any difference (other than being painted red) between the Sti Red Manifold (sti5 or 6) and a std UK MY00 one ?

S

 

I dont think there is any atall,although Ive heard of a fifth injector on some.

 

Just the paint as said.. think the RA inlet manifolds have a 5th injector.

 

Nope !

Wanna buy some red heat proof paint ?

 

Anyone know where to get the 'real' red paint for the inlet manifold, have one with just a speck of paint left!

 

lol, thanks I wasnt sure, I had an idea they were the same

 

I nearly bought one on ebay, but wasn't sure if they were any different!

You would've thought they would be bigger bore, ported, higher flowing, take more boost pressure, leak less....

not just be painted RED!!!!!

 

Although it WAS pushed as a spare to do a front entry mod on ... hmmm someone in the know selling methinks!

 

Where can you get the red paint from guys? Is it spray or brush paint?

LOL. STI engine on order (via telephone call to Frost!)...cheers.

 

Although its an aerosol, doesnt the manifold have to be extremely hot for the paint to take, or can it be sprayed on, fitted to the car, then taken for a blast to cure the paint ?

 

Or you can get it here for 7.75 inc p&p

Yeah dead right ! It wants to be so hot you can't pick it up to get the best results. It takes about an hour to rebuild a manifold after stripping all the junk off to paint it. Best done over a weekend if you want it to last and amaze your friends

'then taken for a blast to cure the paint ' Red crackle coated dead flies now there's a thought !! LOL

 

Have you got an oven Steve ???

LOL @ David, reckon I should invest in some heat resistant gloves, or would oven mitts be ok

 

PMSL I certainly have enjoyed this thread......of course it comes in a range of colours.... Might even give it a go myself...
