The 2.8 Head $25 Intake Manifold Solution

[AudiA4_20T]

So I know many of you run 2.8 heads and put RS4 manifolds on there. Thats cool for $500, but I think a nice $25 solution couldnt hurt, so I did some extensive modification to get it to fit

Before, the 2.8 intake manifold mounted normally...



Now, its become an S4 manifold



I know the heads are dirty, I got them from the junkyard and just started cleaning them

Apparently it's funny.

[Das General]

Nice work on the flip Clint.

Does anyone know if there is a way to coat plastic to help it prevent from heat/cracking etc? Instead of laughing, perhaps you guys should give some credit to thinking differently and perhaps suggest an idea that what help.

how do the injectors fit on this? props for doing it though man

[Nexus1155]

wow i actually thought it would be alot more ghetto than that so props to you ... lets get these beeches in DSM mode and DIY everything!!!

[Overboostin]

You sure thats not going to be too tall? It might be with the y pipe.

[Das General]

It will be for a single setup. No y-pipe. The injector/fuel rail situation will be figured out shortly.

Are you guys looking for a cheap solution to the RS4 manifold because I have something up my sleeve... :D

[Das General]

I like your sleeves.

YGPM.

I mean Issam, this is $25, not bad lol

[AudiA4_20T]

they fit just like normal, the ports are perfectly symmetrical on both sides so the manifold fits the exact same

[Das General]

For $25 dollars, you can't afford not to do it.

[S4 in_lowplaces]

so derek, are you going with a single turbo setup? or is it a secret for now?

[Das General]

Nah, no secrets. Clint and I are going to do our best to get a single turbo setup running.

Parts are on order. I'll keep everyone posted as soon as more of it gets laid out.

that plastic mani is gonna be a serious weakpoint guys, port match your 2.8 heads with the stock manifold, I have one for ya with a TB

hmmm you can just do that? How big of a TB can you fit?

[JaredVL]

LOL, just like above.

Okay man, I will break it down for you.

#1 Audi is very good at tuning a manifold for an application. That one is great for N.A. and the normal one is great for F.I. There is a reason they look so different.

#2 Plastic. You ever hear those commercials where they say "Plastics make it possible"? Well 25+psi of boost on a 2.7t with that manifold is not one of those things that plastics make possible.

[ladedruck]

It hits the coolant pipe (that runs to the upper radiator hose iirc) in the valley. I also think the breather set up and turbo oil feed is in the way. I set one on a motor I have on a stand last week.

[AudiA4_20T]

dammit, o well it was a good try
