#63021, "ATTN: Alain about your manifold"


          

i have one of the manifolds you made for Motofool, one that collent previously had and i was wondering how hard it would be to drill into the number 1 runner and tap for an egt. how thick is that metal and is it a cast or just thick pipping?? TIA, btw this manifold seems very sturdy and very cleanly made

grab a drill bit and a tap and have at it.

the wall thickness should be strng enough to withstand a egt bung

or take it to a muffler shop with your egt bung and have one installed. shouldn't be more then 50$

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

you could drill right into the pipes no problem they are thick enought
just be carefull to not drill too big and end up with a loose probes

for 1/8 NPT you need to drill 11/32 start with a very small bit and enlarge it, you will need cobalt bits to do it right

personally I like to add a metal ring on runner 4 to make the pipe thicker , because some egt probes have lots of threads

It won't make that much of a difference which runner it's in. I have mine between 2-3 this way I get a nice average of those three cylinders.
