Well, the crack actually has quite a measurable gap, my theory is that it warped somehow and the forces caused it to fail at the weakest point(welds). Have to remove it and get it welded back
It's only cracked on 1 place, just one of the runners to the collector, but it's cracked a full circle.....Wow! many areas cracked.....
Could be the vibration and the weakest point cracked.....It's only cracked on 1 place, just one of the runners to the collector, but it's cracked a full circle.....
Well, if it's well made then a banana might improve performance, but yeah daily driven just stick with good old reliable cast iron manifoldsorry to hear that...luckily i listen to my mechanic..last time die die wanna buy banana...
now cast iron only..cast iron FTW
Yes vibration could be a factor that increases the fatigue, I have one of the bolts off the turbo heat shield fell off after some boosting sessions after I tightened it down myself...Could be the vibration and the weakest point cracked.....
My MItsu cast iron header also prone to crack.....lolsorry to hear that...luckily i listen to my mechanic..last time die die wanna buy banana...
now cast iron only..cast iron FTW
It's aviation High-Speed aluminium tape, costs more than rm100 per roll bruh, no issues surviving 90 odd celsiusUsing tape? Can withstand the heat on the radiator part?
what? Now that's something I never heard before actually...My MItsu cast iron header also prone to crack.....lol
Oooh! aviation tape......It's aviation High-Speed aluminium tape, costs more than rm100 per roll bruh, no issues surviving 90 odd celsius

Yeah, that tape is designed to survive being applied on the outside of an airline aircraft and survive, which is why they call it speed tape. 3M punyaOooh! aviation tape......
Yup, when my old turbo leak oil from the shaft, send in for repair they found the header cracked also, so I opt to replace with chop shop whole unit. Heard from some is common problem.....
