M18 still around?
- Thread starter Brule
- Start date
Where?
No one replies to the email on m18 racing website and there facebook hasnt been updated for 12 months.
I want a valve cover.
I thought about buying a manifold but not sure if it will clear steering on cylider 6 and looks to chunky at cylinder 3 and 4 to fit even a 3 inch dump pipe.

No clearance at 3-4 but if you run a custom, skinny steering shaft, a smaller dump may sneak down at 6 or just offset to the back.
If heat can be kept away from everything electrical a 3inch dump on the Efr 8374 would be a great street solution.
Heat issues are what kept me away from top mount but m18 mani at sub 3k to the door could be fun to whittle away some covid hours.
They moved websites by the way and seem like they are more active on insta. https://www.m18.racing/
Could even stick an xr6 iwg turbo on , in a kinugawa 3584rs upgrade. Would just need a t3/t4 adaptor plate. Would be smaller and alot cheaper againthan the efr.
8374 would be a 9 sec capable unit with great response.

Looks like the RHD fit is pretty good.

might clear the steering shaft but no room for a decent exhaust, from the pics it looks like a 2.5 inch pipe would be a tight fit.
They got a 3 inch dump in , with apparently decent room. It dips in before the steering shaft. It looks like they were selling dump pipes to go with the manifolds at one point and also a DiY external gate kit to modify the manifold.
3 inch is way to small for these cars, 4 to 4.5 is the sweet spot as we found out
I emailed them in the past and all I got is crickets, seriously who wants to deal with people like that.
They could possibly have a nice product but God forbid you needed technical support or warranty lol they can keep it.

I had contact with them about the external WG manifold. Got a answer within several hours. I am really keen to see some results with this manifold.

3 inch is fine for the EFRs (same as turbo outlet) , it will carry enough power. Enough to cause carnage all the way down the drivetrain . But, do agree bigger dump ,if you can jam one in,is going to improve output and also give you 1psi less or so backpressure.
EFR 9274 (better than the 9280 for our setup, from.what I can see) IWG 0.94 would be interesting to try out. With upgraded dual port actuator and 4 port MAC .

Possible to share some results of the manifolds so far?
I've seen a build in Germany some time ago on IG. No numbers and or logs so far unfortunately.
That’s my thinking. Will hopefully see if someone has successfully installed one.
RHD ST, what fun. Not
Brule has done it on his own car. Pretty sure his entire exhaust (from downpipe to exhaust tip) is 4"
