Hello everyone, some of you may already know of me from FB groups, as others have tried I’m working on a top mount manifold solution for all of you. My first e60 manifold wasn’t the best looking or greatest, but revision 2 has come quite a ways and there are more to come.
V1 manifold is currently on a car in a town not far from me and the guy daily drives the car and has put it through some fairly substantial abuse and it’s still holding strong. He is running a hood exit exhaust per his own request.
Since this car has been going I have been asked to build multiple more manifolds and selling as kits. So, with this being said I’m after trying to find a better revised top mount solution for all of you...
Since the last car I have purchased my own e60 535i for mock up purposes toward this and a mock up engine to help speed up the process...
Here is the almost complete revision 2:
I still have to add the wastegates and o2 bungs.. I ran out of TIG gas this evening, but will be finished the end of the week hopefully.
the final outcome of Rev2 will have the turbo sitting a touch differently, I will share that once the manifold is back in the car.
I am new to SpoolStreet as a user, but I have been here reading threads for help on certain things in the past. I look forward to helping you e60 guys go topmount. Thanks!
