he's not interested I'm sure...I should be seeing him this week comming and I'll ask...but I'm sure he could not give a >>>> about it..its all referals and repeat bussiness and as I said he's Busy enough
if you want to know some thing about his work you will find it
He work's on most of the Group N cars and is very well respected and if you have a question he is more than helpfull with the answers

the orginal question was if he does a Twin Su Manifold, I will ask this question directly to him and or if he can provide to his spec's

The question came from someone with a hot, overbored 1275 who was looking to improve the flow over the crappy standard twin log manifold.

Not many people might know that Graham Russell also raced and was well known (ergghhhh, deerrrhhh.....bloody obviously :!: ) for having extremely quick engines :wink:

I know Graham and KC were doing a lot of work with big twin SUs whilst KC was here, they were using the Maniflow steel ones from UK- modded and unmodded. :wink:

I've talked to GR before about this same thing. He is happy with the amount of work he is getting without having to have a website... He's run off his feet as it is!

Anyway back on topic, isn't a regular manifold modified is good as what you'd need?

KC does a twin SU manifold set up and thats one of the reasons why GR doesnt do one, no reason for so many on the market.
As for website, err i dont think so GR is not the sort of person who has time or the inclination to sit at a key board for hours and hours trying to answer questions form wanna b's who think they can make quick engines from stuff they have found in there garage.
He is a very busy man and will gladly answer questions for you if you phone him but remember when you phone him you are holding him up from his work on other peoples stuff and when he comes to do your stuff some other person will be calling him asking the same sort of questions and holding him up on your work.
Trust me i know.

You got him on here! - maybe we should have a GR FAQ sticky. Get someone to go down there and have a yarn with GR and record all the common questions and answers and type them into a sticky or something.

or maybe a telephone menu prompt:
"for information about RE13 camshafts, press 1.
To know the price of a worked head, press 2.
If you'd like to speak to graham, visit at 10:32 on tuesdays" :D

If you want a good twin SU manifold, send an email to maniflow in the UK.

http://www.maniflow.co.uk/

[url][email protected][/url]

Don't bother too much with the web shop it is a bit poor. Ask in your email for a twin SU inlet manifold in mild steel for a mini. Specify the size you want the manifold to carb face 'port' to be (1.25", 1.5", 1.75" etc) and if you have a specific size you need the manifold to head face 'port'.

Let them know if you want it to have a vac take off for the brake booster (i didn't) and specify if you want a bracket mount for the accelerator cable bracket.

Mine cost me $250 landed (then I got it chromed.... 8) 8) )

Performance wise, it is about the best thing you can do for twins, although I couldn't fit the cooper s air filters back on as it is a little taller. Could have if I really wanted, but it gave me an excuse to get the KC ultimate filtration kit.

If you get one from anywhere but maniflow you will get the generic fits all carrbs su manifold. The custom one still has the mounting face for any HS2, 4 or 6 carb, but the port sizing will suit your carbs!

Do it!!!!
