Artec Barra manifold

[Tom Tucker]

Anyone tried the Artec Barra manifold? https://artecperformance.com.au/collections/ford/barra

 

Or know anyone that has? It seems like some early ones with the RB guys weren't perfect. Curious to see how they go, and whether they change the exhaust note at all?

@Tom Tucker I have just put one on mine as in above post that Puff put up. No change in exhaust note but spools up a split t4 flange turbo as good as stock log manifold. See my dyno sheets, garrett gen2 gtx3582 on stock manifold had alot less power and torque down low than Artec and 900hp efr9174. It drives awesome!!

 

@Tom Tucker I did install IMS 3bar boost sensor and 4bar tmap sensor with adaptor loom kit. Ecu had to be calibrated for new sensors before starting. Im boosting a max of 20psi now and have zero problems with check engine lights and dscs errors now. I was getting lots of faults come up because of boost being too high for the stock sensors.

Nice! That 9174 must spool insane.

@Tom Tucker have you looked at my photos? I couldnt view them a minute ago but my techy son sorted it and they are viewable now.

I originally somehow missed your thread. Very cool! Your combo is very high end. Be interested to know what your boost issue is
