yes heat wrap can be damn evil to components , have you ever wrapped a mild steel manifold with the stuff and then remove it 12 months later? descaling cracking usually results ( in extreme conditions )

heatwrap is more for racing purposes and in most cases we use it to wrap the component we are ...

iceman

Ford turbos fail because the filter on the side of the engine blocks up and it's non serviceable.

correct also but if you just change the filter you still have the chance of the turbo line also being blocked ( and it usually happens at the same time ) , when the oil filter slowly blocks it also ...

not really dan , i have been asked to repair the older cast manifolds since i first started out

the older ait cast was lower grade iron , the newer cast manifolds like on the ba turbo are cast s/steel ( i have seen only 1 crack so far and unsure what conditions caused it )

blocked cats , bad tune ...

iceman

not sure mate but they advertise it will help provide heat protection and fatigue??

i have my doubts how effective it really can be , just the other day i got burnt crispy style when my had simple brushed passed a dump pipe ( car was just started to ensure turbo install was all ok ) then switched ...

iceman

all turbo manifolds will fail over time in one way or another , material used and wall thickness will enhance the durability but in the end the heat cycling will soon take its toll

iceman

dont worry about it mate , drop by one day and i will show you some hardware

iceman

also the twin turbo system i quoted above is setup with snort turbochargers !!

we sold the package as 2 x turbo manifolds 2 x spgt3582 1 x iceman 1200 plenum al of which was delivered for 4200.00 - this also shows our products can be both cost effective and still be at the top end of the power ...

iceman

well i spoke with rod direct and i also read the post as to why i contacted him

have you ever seen a norm butler s/steel polished turbo manifold? and if they where reproduced then where did the go ?

iceman

we have more then a few vehicles running top end power figures but we dont keep track on them , however i will tell you this particular vehicle is fitted with one of our twin turbo systems -iceman 1200 plenum combinations , the car is used for speedway events and is producing excess of 1000rwhp ...

iceman

yes and i have many more that would say otherwise

a member comes here to ask details about our stage 3 kit and he is told

the snort manifolds will crack just after warranty period - wrong there are 100s of the snort production manifolds still in use today and documented cases of the hardware in ...

iceman

omy-747 your local here correct? then pm me and arrange to meet i will show you the products first hand

the point here is that only a few of the stage 4 production manifold have failed in over 8 years of service so its making a mountain from a mole hill

further more if you do have an older snort ...

iceman

mate we have always worked on improving our products , with more development then any other company shows just that

we have invested more $$$ in making products to suit the e series platform then any other company in australia , i have not denied at any time if our products have failed and have ...

iceman

But you all know each other so not hard to know someone that has had a cracked manifold?

So you want Geoff to just let people take a stab without any defence on snorts behalf?

I know of 1 6boost manifold that a weld cracked but his brother was a welder so he just welded it up again.
It was on an ...

iceman

needforattension , where now have we not honored warranty ?? selling dodgy parts and ripping people off is taking it a little far dont you think??

bold claims when there are soooo many more documented cases of the manifolds not failing , years of service our products have supplied in 99% of cases ...

iceman

thankyou eboost , at least some people are able to read through the bullshit

iceman

please understand nut , when the fun is all over i have staff and family to support

i have offered even to meet up with some of you and show the hardware in person but it was turned down? , anybody here is welcome to come and visit and see the manifolds/materials first hand

we have been open ...

iceman

yes we are lucky to have some good people like paul whom has in the past contacted me on behalf of customers and i ALWAYS try to keep my dealers happy that means we back the product/them 100%

our dealers can also contact me via other means ( msn for example )

iceman

it was just a term mate , my point is that we have other forms of contact

atm we are only able to take so many orders , once we have enough work to get done we dont take any further work untill all is completed - then i proceed to monitor the phone

we have had to restructure our business plan ...

iceman

like when? we do have other forms of contact mate and dealers too if you want the premium service

iceman

the log manifolds where prone to warping the best tip is to only use exhaust studs/flange nuts and recheck the bolts at every service

if the warp is bad i suggest pressing the manifold first , then have it surfaced - on the cheap so people have cut the headplate and pulled up the manifold on the ...

iceman

no mate s40 is thicker wall thickness ( smaller inside diameter )

iceman

it must be a very old kit but in any case it can be repaired , the very early log manifolds where made by a local exhaust shop and mig welded but they are made from s/steel steam pipe so repairing it would be no problem

iceman

s10 steam pipe s/steel is all thats required - the manifolds already weigh in at around 13-14kgs at this point , i am unsure what wall thickness the other use etm makes his manifolds from the same material as we do , when you compare equal wall thickness s/steel will outlast mild steel

iceman

what is shown on our site atm is older product - as i have said here how many times now WE DONT STOCK/SUPPLY the production stage 4 manifolds only hand fabricated

our stage 6 manifolds are made from s/steel steam pipe 50mm the costs to produce these is much higher then 1 1/2 inch mild steel hence ...

iceman

a low mounted stage 2 snort kit would have to be a log manifold? we have not sold kits with log manifolds for eons

iceman

maybe so but when do you speak for everyone 67rice , we have provided product/services well beyond what some of our customers have paid for not always have we got it right but never have we refused helping a customer

our stage 6 manifolds are advertized on our site for 1499.00 but in most cases we ...

iceman

telling the truth why would i lie ?? , since when has my character been drawn in question here needforspeed?

we had many productions over the years of the stage 4 manifolds , i am unsure which of them had the collector made from thinner material as the issue of manifolds cracking didnt appear for ...

iceman

s/steel is a better material , as i mention above rollin it was the material thickness which caused the problems

in the very early days we fabricated the manifolds from tubular s/steel which over time would fatigue/crack ( remember the welds were linished/polished ) however they still provided ...

iceman

yeah i understand the confidence it provides the customer ( lifetime warranty ) however i dont see myself still making turbo manifolds when i am 90 lol , for this reason i believe it to be misleading in some ways but we back our current manifolds/products 100%

we have been around building turbo ...

iceman

as said above only few production manifolds failed ( usually due to extended heat cycling ) , the manifold runners never cracked it was the thinner material s/steel that would peel away from the turbo flange divide ( collector ) again only a few failed over time ( years )

the production manifolds ...

iceman

i will provide the kit with the new stage 6 50mm turbo manifold ( the biggest/best we currently fabricate ) and you can show the people here the quality of the manifold/kit

i would also suggest the new borg warner 366sx turbocharger which support excess of 800hp

iceman

the snort manifolds dont self destruct - only few of the earlier production manifolds failed but usually under extream conditions ( there are manifolds/kits have lasted over 100,000klm without failure ) but in any case we no longer stock/supply them ( and has been the case for almost 2 years )

all ...

yeah i have the mag , also have complete twin turbo manifolds/turbochargers dump pipes but no intercooler ;(

found the twin system on a barn floor lol

iceman

love the phase falcons pure aussie built perfection ;)

would love to see some details of the xf ( brockbuster ) 4wd twin turbo prototype, this car was well beyond its time !!

damn shame the xf didnt make production , however there is a guy in wa ??? whom found the original car and is currently ...
