Title: Is it Art or just good workmanship
Post by: PTsideshow on March 12, 2009, 10:07:00 AM

Here are some photos of a drag race manifold builder. I have not gone through the whole thread. But he talks more about the welds further in the thread.http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1282128&postcount=4 (http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1282128&postcount=4)

I saw those manifolds and thought it was a Hogan Manifold.

There is a guy who has been in the RX-7 community for a very long time. He has/had a RX-7 that he was putting a 3-Rotor in... then a V8. He spent some astronomical amount of money on everything.. re-engineered every aspect of every single part of the car.
He had a motor built using a Hodan Manifold. This was back around 2002 or 2003.. and I had never even seen anything like the parts... Turns out they have been building them for the racing community for a long time.
