where can we follow the resto of your engine?
Is the B20E exhaust manifold of a better "flow"design as the B20A suiting twin downpipes? |

I'll post the engine build on here: http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showth...=123242&page=6 Just rebuilding the carbs today. I'm not sure which standard manifold flows the best.

I understand it is the one that KG Trimning and Skandix supply (stage 1 and 2). I also understand prior to sourcing his own States side that John Parker from VPD also recommended this. I have the stage 2 on my car and its beeen very good (as if I can tell!!) Russ |

I misunderstood the question sorry. The manifold is a type 3 manifold from KG trimning. It will flow very well but the exhaust pipe is 62mm od. The one in the top right of the pic is the manifold.

I was wondering when you bought the head from Sten Parner is there was some stated flow rates. Do they claim that the stage I is 10% over stock and stage II is 20% or something like that?

However the car is no slouch especially between 2000 and 4000rpm. All the way up the A3 I had a play with a 120d and it was only above 90 did he start to pull away (that is 90inches per hour of course). Personally its a combination of a lot of things but Im sure the manifold helps. I also had it ceramic coated and the temp is significantly lower than when it had the exhaust wrap. I recall the outlet was around 65mm with the primaries about 45mm. It was the larger of the two available then. After the collector I have a step down to 50mm but its easily changed when I get to rebuilding the B20 I have planned (and hopefully with your parts!!) Russ |

digging up an old thread here.
Do you have any of the bits left now Mitch or has everything been sold? |
