relentless v2 and v3 manifold

[Mpathe]

how can I tell weather its a v2 or v3 manifold from a picture as I'm looking at buying one and don't want to buy it if its a v2. thanks mike

V3 has gussets between runners on teh collectors, and the pipe runs are slightly different with less joins but you'd have to be an ultra geek to spot that.

Check out the post I put up on Monday, loads of v3 pictures there.

At the end of the day whichever version of the manifold you get,its worth getting it re-welded anyway.I got a v2 to fit but I doubt there is much difference apart from fitting

 

[badger5]

not with V3 it is'nt

 

[s3dave]

The V3 is a different animal altogether and with the thicker walled tubing should be fine... no bad reports yet i dont think..

What thickness is the v3?

 

[superkarl]

You aren't doing me any favours for me selling a v2 lol.

For the people who have installed these got any further info ?for the turbo to manifold do you just use 1 m10 stud and nut and washer ? with the other 2 standard turbo bolts ?

 

[Mpathe]

well because I knew the v3 is thicker and I've already had to weld up my v1 downpipe that I got from xspower because it cracked
