Merge collectors

[jamiemirror]

Do you like it ? It's the prototype - all stainless.

I hope in near future that these will be for sale - custom sized !

Looks nice. We need stuff like this in Europe.

Hmm.. this is one of those things i have abselutely no idea of what it does, anyone wanna help me out here?

At the moment there is also UDP (underdrive pulley) made, but is also prototype.
Future plans include camber plates and partial coilover setup (excluding springs and shocks) and some types of billet intake adapters (aluminium alloy) - for example bigport-->sidedraught carburators, smallport-->sidedraught carburators, various ITB setups, bigport--->smallport etc.

I think - merge collector is not some magic component that will increase something by 20-30%. As usual - the result is sum of all parts - in this case - equal (tuned) length exhaust runners, merge collector, downpipe and properly sized exhaust components.

Thanks for the link! That is some interesting stuff!

So you're making a merge collector for the 4A-GE? Will it have any effect on such a small engine?

I don't think that merge collector is engine size dependent upgrade.
Correct me if I'm wrong but merge collector=smoother flow=plain torque curve, more torque and power. Just think about it as exhaust runners to downpipe "porting".

Btw you can see merge collector used in TRD 4AGE engine for F Atlantic.
