I love this so much, and you guys are parsecs above and beyond any of those horrible, reality TV style car shows and videos! You guys have built one hell of a car, and while it has been a LONG project, it has been SO worth watching you guys over the last few years!
Snow Goose? You're not referring to the Hughes H-4, are you? Also known as the Spruce Goose? Anyway, no. The chances of Binky being started only the once and then put on display is, to say the least, somewhere south of "nil".
Your manifold is going to work fine, assuming it doesn't fall apart. The point of a turbo exhaust manifold is to direct maximum energy (in the form of heat and pressure) from the engine into the turbocharger. Yours is very compact and direct and doesn't have a lot of exposure for heat loss. Perfect. Those tube manifolds lose a lot of energy in first allowing the exhaust gases to expand (slowing and cooling), and then allowing heat transfer along the length of each tube. "Exhaust flow" is nearly meaningless in a turbocharger scenario when all of the exhaust is directed through a turbine, forming an approximately pencil-diameter swirling tube of gas. The only issue I see with your design is that it will not support any weight of the turbo without breaking apart. Maybe you know someone that can make a bracket?
Now it`s all built Nick and Richard will discover Binky will not fit through the basement door and due to the passage of time sedimentary rock has built up around the building
I didn't even like car stuff. I clicked on a link to your first show because I thought the car looked kind of cute. Now 26 episodes later i want to buy some screw wrenches and build my own car! Most awesome! :)
I bet if you dedicated five years of your life to a project, it would be pretty sweet too. It makes me feel better to know that proper projects take time.

I don't think there's a reason to think the manifold won't work. It's clearly not optimized for maximum boostages, but if you guys were going for max-effort high-output drag racing you wouldn't be doing this build. Not everything has to be geared for maximum flow and maximum output, as long as it flows okay and spools the turbo you'll have plenty of power.

Richard & Nik, I just wanted to thank you both for 7 years of fabrication. I recently retired from teaching and I have used every episode as a learning experience for my juniors and seniors as well as an adult intro to welding program. Your documentation of old school fabrication has helped to rekindle this as a trade. You helped me through my 1978 Mini rebuild and I am now 75% finished with a scratch build of an all aluminum military M151A2. Rock on and I can't wait until Binky is complete...did I mention I am 70!
This. The complete movie would show well in theaters; I reckon I'd go see it. I hope they sell a kit of all the unique brackets, mounts, wiring, and ducting. You supply the donor and recipient car, and you build it along with their video. That'd sell, I bet.
@@blagoev3491 yeah...for some people log manifolds also dont work yet many manufacturers use them and they work the same as fancy equal lenght runners...-thats all very preety and whatnot but on a turbocharged car it just doesnt matter...head flow, manifold design and all that gay stuff becomes irrelevant because of the simple fact that you can just add a couple more psi to compensate for whatever poor design you have introduced in the car just by tweaking fuel map and changing a wastegate spring
@@MrHBSoftware Just think about the fact that the the exaust valves are geting some overlaping open time, i tried a 6 to 1 manifold on a bmw turbo project, then when i had the time i made equal lenght manifold and the results were 80 hp, 60 Nm and a mucth more better HP and torque curve, and these numbers are over a 310 Hp and 340 Nm at the wheels which means 25% difference. Sry for my bad English!
Love it! This is like a really good book, I want to see how it ends, but I also hope it never ends. I'm glad you've got more projects lined up, but I'm kinda doubtful you'll ever get to them! Can't wait for the next video. I also appreciate how your countless hours are reduced to a mere 40 minutes. I hope you don't feel that the actual amount of effort you both put in goes unnoticed.

I feel like they would’ve saved a lot of time and cut down a lot of wiring harness mess if they’d just gone for a PDU setup for the wiring. That heater blower air intake locations gonna make for a great ‘Olfactory Brake Temperature Monitoring System’
"... saved...time... "? ... and how do we get the videos we so eagerly look forward to... ? ... you did not receive the note...

Moun Bakko To be fair I don’t PDU’s were even that widely available when they started the wiring 😂 I honestly think I’ll be totally grey before it’s done
think of it this way, if that bottle didn't get bought by them to use as a prop, it might have been bought by someone else with the intention of drinking it!
@@toohottie001 I think you would be surprised. Binky is mostly sheet alloy which weighs very little. The big weight gains will be the engine/box, drivetrain and associated bracing. Drop that out and I would wager the shell would be lighter than stock. Also remember Moogs mini has had to have a reasonable amount of extra bracing, bracketry and so on along with an engine that's not a million miles removed from this one. There is probably less than 100kg in it for around an extra 100hp, a stack more torque and two extra driven wheels. It's not likely to be a close race.
This is probably my favorite series on TH-cam and I’m not going to lie. I will be a bit sad when it ends but I’m really looking forward for you guys starting on the MG XPower SV. That probably going to be epic.
@30:58 The “Headifold”. Build K20 and K24 engines at work and after 12 years I learned a new term about them. 🤓 Also after hearing on Instagram that this was going to be the longest Binky VJO yet I was really surprised that it ended so fast. I actually checked the time stamp to make sure something weird didn’t happen during the upload. Keep up the great work lads. You’re doing something right if nearly 42 minutes seems like 10. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Tits and pickles. Uncle Bumblefuk will be so proud.
Was thinking along the same kind of lines. Won't be surprised if it has some kind of funky boost curve. Think I might have been inclined to try include some kind of anti reversion technology into it, since there is effectively no runner length.
@@DodgyBrothersEngineering the plenum seems big enough to help with the issue , but im expectin couple of variations of this design in the future when the thing gonna be tuned.
Yeah i agree it is not most effecient design but considering how light and small the car is, it should not matter. Heck even with na engine it'd be plenty fast
@@zwloki0 my greatest concern would be back flow to an open exhaust valve especially on 1 and 4. The longer runner length offers a bit of an air dampening effect to stop pulsing and back flow into the head runner. Having the turbine right after the head is going to cause back pressure, which is only going to aid reversion back into the head runner. I think I would be inclined to put an extended divider plate between cylinders 2 and 3. By dividing up 1 & 2 from 3 & 4 the exhaust pulse has to do a 180 degree turn at the divider plate to flow back to an open valve on all four cylinders (alternates front, back, front, back etc). The way they have it only needs to follow the logical course and flow to the head runner at either end of the manifold to back flow. I'd go as far as running a twin scroll turbo house or a very long divider plate up into the turbo housing. I'd probably make something like the manifold I made last for my car.
@@DodgyBrothersEngineering i agree , that's why i think it's not final design , if you trying to get absolute max power of the engine, that would be a deal killer, but in this case good map and extra boost should be sufficient ( im not an expert , so im vey interested how it will perform)
Well, if you've been watching you realize it isnt possible.... unless you basically re-design the entire car using a grinder, welder and the thing that makes 'the noise'.
Fuck I was told about this series 2 days ago and I've already caught up from episode 1! I have a build that I'm currently drawing up that I've been told can't be done as well! Love the whole series, the Monty python and Naked Gun tributes are great as well!
Absolutely love your show, to the point where thought I heard you say "another item to tig off the list". Keep making things too good, for our viewing pleasure.
The manifold will work perfectly, because as you said, nowadays there's no runners. even a lot of the old turbo charged cars barely had runners in the manifold. I've used a couple of triangular cut planes with massacred 60 degree bends to make downpipes on my ancient Carina Deluxe wagon that I slapped a 4A-GE into (and I made that downpipe to clear the steering box) if there was a performance drop I never noticed it in the 5 years I used that downpipe, in fact I'm left with the feeling that throttle response picked up a great deal. And I only swapped to the stock one (after I modified the crossmember with bits and pieces from a KE70 to accept rack & pinion and needing it to look stock... Which then made said downpipe hit the rack.... heh) to to keep the tech guys from blowing a fuse. Was in the process of suggesting this sort of manifold myself until you went about making it anyway (just as you did the splash guard for the fresh air). Excellent stuff as usual, muchos gracias for sharing the struggle (know you're not alone).
Whenever a Project Binky email appears on my email screen I open it immediately and watch it with great interest. When the video ends though, I am always reminded of the movie the agony and the ecstasy. There are a number of scenes where the Pope, played by Rex Harrison, glares upwards at Michelangelo, played by Charleton Heston, while he is painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and either mouths or screams aloud, "When will you be finished" to which Heston mouths or screams back, "When I am finished." The point of this is simply: The first project Binky video was released six, yep count'em, six years ago. At my age, and I am sure there are others, at this rate we may not see the end of the project and how it turns out because we will be DEAD. So you might want to speed it up boys because six years plus is way way too long for one project and if I die without seeing the end I am going to come to your shop and homes and haunt you especially since you have started another project on the former book mobile...............enough is enough now get on it before this turns into an epic journey without an end dammit! Incidentally, Michelangelo painted the entire ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in seven years by himself and it's a hell of a lot bigger than an Austin mini.
Having the dip and main beam on together is something I have modified on all my cars, including the comp cars for the last 30 years without undue bulb failure even on H4 installations running 55/60W +80/100% bulbs. Wiring the mains and dips together on mains was common practice on the works rally cars in 70's & 80's when they all used H4 bulbs and a must for road rally cars to get over the limitations of only one pair of spots on events
That manifold is surprisingly similar to the stainless one fitted to BMW 530 and 330 diesels of the 2000's. Y'know the one that cracks in multiple places after about 5-10 years and owners resort to fitting a previous model cast iron manifold.
"Minder" somehow feels like the most appropriate 80's theme song !! That manifold made out of forcibly corralled atoms is something to behold. Engineering artisans
Your videos have given me the courage to build my own brackets. Helped a friend with several for his engine swap, lawn mower modifications, a coat rack, pan hanger in the kitchen, wiring behind the TV and some plumbing for the tub!
So good to see people employed on a challenge that requires them to have a go from scratch. The manifold is a prime example of a solution from scratch in the Workshop without any quality and form compromise.
I think I asked how you'd manage a remote bonnet release on a flip-front a couple of years back - You must have begun the work immediately! :P The manifold idea was genius.
I think that manifold will work perfectly fine. probably less optimized than even the original one, but it fits in the space you need it to fit and will get the exhaust gasses to the turbo. If you loose a few hp from it being less optimized is no big concern, because of all the added lightness it'll be fast as hell anyways. plus with a better turbo and intercooler than stock, and probably a bit more boost you'll probably get the lost horses back and more anyways... Now the interesting part is how long will the mild steel part last? Is the plan to immediately make a SS part if the form and function is adequate?
Added lightness???? This thing is more over built than a battleship! Binky is awesome and an engineering marvel where everything has been made tough but, I don't think lightness is it's forte!
idiot stupid haha no cinema, we was watching a film down stair until a notification pinged on my phone to say there was a new video. I instantly stood up and walked upstairs to watch it. Bad obsessions comes first in my house 😂
Concerning the manifold: I would put baffles inside the manifold for each exhaust port to guide the flow of gas towards the turbo. It would be perfectly possible to design a manifold of this type that flows great, but that would require simulation software to make sure the pressure pulses from one exhaust port don't work against the flow of another port. But since you don't have those tools at your hands these baffles will direct the flow towards the outlet and if this manifold, by bad luck, has a shape that has a very constricting effect on the flow the baffles will reduce this effect. See it as an insurance policy for covering the uncertainty about the design. Because there is a huge uncertainty here. Creating an exhaust with certainty for decent flow is hard with this sort of design because there is no guidance for the flow and the different flows meet right at their origin.
Well yes, it would be more ideal, but as high pressure reaches the "exhaust airbox" it should slow its flow rate down, thus pressurewaves have more time travelling in the box, and finding the least resistant path. It will work, my concern would be heat management on it.

It's very cool looking, but it's not going to work at all. Actualy it's going to cause some problems for spooling and back pressure.
@@blagoev3491 yeah...for some people log manifolds also dont work yet many manufacturers use them and they work the same as fancy equal lenght runners...-thats all very preety and whatnot but on a turbocharged car it just doesnt matter...head flow, manifold design and all that gay stuff becomes irrelevant because of the simple fact that you can just add a couple more psi to compensate for whatever poor design you have introduced in the car just by tweaking fuel map and changing a wastegate spring
@@blagoev3491 I'd love to hear your technical reasons for why it won't work. You is bullshit.
@@MrHBSoftware Just think about the fact that the the exaust valves are geting some overlaping open time, i tried a 6 to 1 manifold on a bmw turbo project, then when i had the time i made equal lenght manifold and the results were 80 hp, 60 Nm and a mucth more better HP and torque curve, and these numbers are over a 310 Hp and 340 Nm at the wheels which means 25% difference. Sry for my bad English!
Fastest 40 minutes of my life! Thanks - you guys are absolutely amazing to follow.
The one thing I've learned in the 3 years I've watched binky, learn to weld and do metal work and any project is possible
I know time is gold, but I'd like to have seen a lot more measuring and marking out.
Love it! This is like a really good book, I want to see how it ends, but I also hope it never ends. I'm glad you've got more projects lined up, but I'm kinda doubtful you'll ever get to them! Can't wait for the next video. I also appreciate how your countless hours are reduced to a mere 40 minutes. I hope you don't feel that the actual amount of effort you both put in goes unnoticed.
... you speak for me too!
What effort, this has taken around 12.3h to produce so far.
There is already Project Escargo with a few videos on :)
That was 40 minutes. felt like seconds
Sure did.
GaMeDoDo the always do! Amazing content like this seems to fly by!! It could be 90min and still feel short!
Generations of car nuts have grown up watching this series.

Whipped the stopwatch out for that one and by god it was on the money. Love these guys
It's almost like if they were able to manipulate time. (Insert Holy Grail witch-scene here)
For me, the Bonnet catch mechanism is the single most impressive bit of fabrication on the whole project, and so satisfying to watch. You guys are so ingenious and skilled
Nice yes but I fancy the live drive attachment and superbly engineered work around for the pumps and drive belts was a bit of pure genius!
Most awesome thing on TH-cam but I'm a little worried that petrol cars will be banned by time this gets finished. 😂🍻
Exactly, the manifold will never work with Hydrogen fuels.
i did see an ethanol flexfuel switch there i think
Oil companies will never let it happen thats why electric cars will never rule the planet
It's actually already being stripped to be painted.. so not far now!
No worries, they will just make some brackets to adhere to the new technology, rules and regulations :)
Nobody wants an external release. I continue to be amazed that there's still room under the bonnet for anything at all. Wooden charge coolers are no doubt the future of solid cooling technology.

I laughed out load enough to cause a dirty look from a stranger ...
Your opening music caught me off guard ! You English blokes !
Nick, that exhaust manifold is a "thing of beauty and a joy forever !"
I feel like they would’ve saved a lot of time and cut down a lot of wiring harness mess if they’d just gone for a PDU setup for the wiring.

"well obviously they're going to fabricate a custom manifold"
"Oh."
you know.... dragweek with binky and mcm mini would be fun to watch ;)
It wouldn't be much of a race on a drag strip. FWD 1.6 vs 4WD 2.0T in the same car is only going to go one way.
@@siraff4461 Problem is Binky will weigh as much as an M1 Tank by the time its finished.
toohottie001 pretty sure an m1 is gonna look like a feather weight by the time Blinky sees a set of scales.
@@toohottie001 I think you would be surprised. Binky is mostly sheet alloy which weighs very little. The big weight gains will be the engine/box, drivetrain and associated bracing. Drop that out and I would wager the shell would be lighter than stock.
Also remember Moogs mini has had to have a reasonable amount of extra bracing, bracketry and so on along with an engine that's not a million miles removed from this one. There is probably less than 100kg in it for around an extra 100hp, a stack more torque and two extra driven wheels.
It's not likely to be a close race.
This is probably my favorite series on TH-cam and I’m not going to lie. I will be a bit sad when it ends but I’m really looking forward for you guys starting on the MG XPower SV. That probably going to be epic.
And there's the snail...sorry, The Escargot. A few more videos to come.
There's still the Escargot too, remember!
You think it will ever end???
"Here's some merch for scale". That's genius. This is heading to be completed after the total production run of the Mini. :D
and as a sidenote, Thank you for making some of the most worthwhile video content on the internet!
This is the most satisfying video series I have ever watched, It is so relaxing seeing such level of detail!
@30:58 The “Headifold”.
Build K20 and K24 engines at work and after 12 years I learned a new term about them. 🤓
Also after hearing on Instagram that this was going to be the longest Binky VJO yet I was really surprised that it ended so fast. I actually checked the time stamp to make sure something weird didn’t happen during the upload. Keep up the great work lads. You’re doing something right if nearly 42 minutes seems like 10. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Tits and pickles. Uncle Bumblefuk will be so proud.
\Smug yawn\: What did they think the 5 port head on the old A Series they took out was?
That manifold might not squeeze every single kW out of the engine, but it will certainly work.
Was thinking along the same kind of lines. Won't be surprised if it has some kind of funky boost curve. Think I might have been inclined to try include some kind of anti reversion technology into it, since there is effectively no runner length.
@@DodgyBrothersEngineering the plenum seems big enough to help with the issue , but im expectin couple of variations of this design in the future when the thing gonna be tuned.
Yeah i agree it is not most effecient design but considering how light and small the car is, it should not matter. Heck even with na engine it'd be plenty fast
@@zwloki0 my greatest concern would be back flow to an open exhaust valve especially on 1 and 4. The longer runner length offers a bit of an air dampening effect to stop pulsing and back flow into the head runner. Having the turbine right after the head is going to cause back pressure, which is only going to aid reversion back into the head runner. I think I would be inclined to put an extended divider plate between cylinders 2 and 3. By dividing up 1 & 2 from 3 & 4 the exhaust pulse has to do a 180 degree turn at the divider plate to flow back to an open valve on all four cylinders (alternates front, back, front, back etc). The way they have it only needs to follow the logical course and flow to the head runner at either end of the manifold to back flow. I'd go as far as running a twin scroll turbo house or a very long divider plate up into the turbo housing. I'd probably make something like the manifold I made last for my car.
@@DodgyBrothersEngineering i agree , that's why i think it's not final design , if you trying to get absolute max power of the engine, that would be a deal killer, but in this case good map and extra boost should be sufficient
( im not an expert , so im vey interested how it will perform)
Well....
That they'd build their own manifold, I was expecting....
How is where they caught me offguard....
"how is it possible to fit toyota running gear in a mini"
"Well loads of funky brackets"
"Get the funky out."
Yeah it may take six years but it can be done 🤔
And with 10 years
I’m with Kris on this all comes down to time and patience
Well, if you've been watching you realize it isnt possible.... unless you basically re-design the entire car using a grinder, welder and the thing that makes 'the noise'.
Fuck I was told about this series 2 days ago and I've already caught up from episode 1!
I have a build that I'm currently drawing up that I've been told can't be done as well!
Love the whole series, the Monty python and Naked Gun tributes are great as well!
Absolutely love your show, to the point where thought I heard you say "another item to tig off the list". Keep making things too good, for our viewing pleasure.
Attention, no obsession to detail is unsurpassed. Particularly love the bonnet release solution. Brilliant!
Exellent use of cables levers and pivot points.
Even had brackets a plenty.😉🙂👍👍
I think all other cars with a flip front will be jealous of Binky's ability to open the bonnet or the whole front end
Amazing work, thoughtful design, impossibly small space to work in. Richards wiring skills are second to none. Your skills are MAD!
MAD Mechanically Adept Design
Well, far from any argument and indeed any discussion, all I can see is nothing but praise and a host of compliments for that manifold!!
The manifold will work perfectly, because as you said, nowadays there's no runners. even a lot of the old turbo charged cars barely had runners in the manifold.
I've used a couple of triangular cut planes with massacred 60 degree bends to make downpipes on my ancient Carina Deluxe wagon that I slapped a 4A-GE into (and I made that downpipe to clear the steering box) if there was a performance drop I never noticed it in the 5 years I used that downpipe, in fact I'm left with the feeling that throttle response picked up a great deal.
And I only swapped to the stock one (after I modified the crossmember with bits and pieces from a KE70 to accept rack & pinion and needing it to look stock... Which then made said downpipe hit the rack.... heh) to to keep the tech guys from blowing a fuse.
Was in the process of suggesting this sort of manifold myself until you went about making it anyway (just as you did the splash guard for the fresh air).
Excellent stuff as usual, muchos gracias for sharing the struggle (know you're not alone).
That wiring is so neat. Makes me happy 😆
That "other" opening music though.....gave me the feels lol yeehaw
Me too! When I heard Waylon, I thought it leaked from my Spotify playlist. My heart skipped a beat when I saw it was in BOM video :)
Whenever a Project Binky email appears on my email screen I open it immediately and watch it with great interest. When the video ends though, I am always reminded of the movie the agony and the ecstasy. There are a number of scenes where the Pope, played by Rex Harrison, glares upwards at Michelangelo, played by Charleton Heston, while he is painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and either mouths or screams aloud, "When will you be finished" to which Heston mouths or screams back, "When I am finished."
The point of this is simply: The first project Binky video was released six, yep count'em, six years ago. At my age, and I am sure there are others, at this rate we may not see the end of the project and how it turns out because we will be DEAD. So you might want to speed it up boys because six years plus is way way too long for one project and if I die without seeing the end I am going to come to your shop and homes and haunt you especially since you have started another project on the former book mobile...............enough is enough now get on it before this turns into an epic journey without an end dammit!
Incidentally, Michelangelo painted the entire ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in seven years by himself and it's a hell of a lot bigger than an Austin mini.
Can you add your TH-cam channel name, So we can watch it done properly....
You fool, the journey is the meaning, not the destination
Oh, they will likely need 7 years to paint it after they are done. ;)
@@FieroFats they will build a paint booth from scratch first
@@FieroFats Okay, that's it. I will be dead by then. No more Binky for me.......lol
Having the dip and main beam on together is something I have modified on all my cars, including the comp cars for the last 30 years without undue bulb failure even on H4 installations running 55/60W +80/100% bulbs. Wiring the mains and dips together on mains was common practice on the works rally cars in 70's & 80's when they all used H4 bulbs and a must for road rally cars to get over the limitations of only one pair of spots on events
That manifold is surprisingly similar to the stainless one fitted to BMW 530 and 330 diesels of the 2000's. Y'know the one that cracks in multiple places after about 5-10 years and owners resort to fitting a previous model cast iron manifold.
I know nothing about turbos or exhaust design but here is what I would have done....
"Minder" somehow feels like the most appropriate 80's theme song !! That manifold made out of forcibly corralled atoms is something to behold. Engineering artisans
Was thinking th-cam.com/video/PCFVEvZvo3g/w-d-xo.html myself
DROP EVERYTHING, B.O.M. has made an upload!!!
Your videos have given me the courage to build my own brackets. Helped a friend with several for his engine swap, lawn mower modifications, a coat rack, pan hanger in the kitchen, wiring behind the TV and some plumbing for the tub!
So good to see people employed on a challenge that requires them to have a go from scratch. The manifold is a prime example of a solution from scratch in the Workshop without any quality and form compromise.
That manifold is incredible. It may actually be my favorite part of this build.
Rex Hamilton was in rare form on this one. Nicely done.
I think I asked how you'd manage a remote bonnet release on a flip-front a couple of years back - You must have begun the work immediately! :P
The manifold idea was genius.
That bonnet catch solution was straightforward genius!
"Binky wiring shizzle"
Glad we name our files the same way.
BOM uploads, Everything else stops. these store thieves can wait.
I think that manifold will work perfectly fine. probably less optimized than even the original one, but it fits in the space you need it to fit and will get the exhaust gasses to the turbo.
If you loose a few hp from it being less optimized is no big concern, because of all the added lightness it'll be fast as hell anyways.
plus with a better turbo and intercooler than stock, and probably a bit more boost you'll probably get the lost horses back and more anyways...
Now the interesting part is how long will the mild steel part last? Is the plan to immediately make a SS part if the form and function is adequate?
Added lightness????
This thing is more over built than a battleship!
Binky is awesome and an engineering marvel where everything has been made tough but, I don't think lightness is it's forte!
I like the expression to add lightness, it's like taking away slowness. =)
At the risk of sounding like a fool, won't the mild steel simply melt? :-/
@@mickenoss It come from Colin Chapman (founder of Lotus), his design philosophy was "simplify, and add lightness".
@@apu_apustaja no not even close to it
Literally left another video to watch this one when the notification popped.

You guys have completely outdone yourselves with that manifold fabrication. Unbelievable. I hope it works flawlessly!
Just left my wife and son watching a film so I can go hide in the bedroom and watch this!! 😂
That's true commitment right there.
I thought I was the only one who did that 🤣😂
what cinema did you leave them in?
idiot stupid haha no cinema, we was watching a film down stair until a notification pinged on my phone to say there was a new video. I instantly stood up and walked upstairs to watch it. Bad obsessions comes first in my house 😂
Concerning the manifold: I would put baffles inside the manifold for each exhaust port to guide the flow of gas towards the turbo. It would be perfectly possible to design a manifold of this type that flows great, but that would require simulation software to make sure the pressure pulses from one exhaust port don't work against the flow of another port. But since you don't have those tools at your hands these baffles will direct the flow towards the outlet and if this manifold, by bad luck, has a shape that has a very constricting effect on the flow the baffles will reduce this effect. See it as an insurance policy for covering the uncertainty about the design. Because there is a huge uncertainty here. Creating an exhaust with certainty for decent flow is hard with this sort of design because there is no guidance for the flow and the different flows meet right at their origin.
This was pretty much the only thing I was concerned with when I saw it as well
Well yes, it would be more ideal, but as high pressure reaches the "exhaust airbox" it should slow its flow rate down, thus pressurewaves have more time travelling in the box, and finding the least resistant path. It will work, my concern would be heat management on it.
The only time i dont skip porn to the good parts and watch the whole thing.
