Dbilas Exhausts Manifolds Cheap!

Vid

Does he mean he has none in stock?

I haven't had a reply for my payment yet, maybe I should be concerned? notsure.gif

JohnnyN

I thought the same about being out of stock? He's just said in another email that he already has 2 to send to the UK.

He asked me today if I knew David Rock and Simon Dickson??

:roll: :roll: :roll:

Yes you do 😃 one must be mine!! 😃

Sjdickso

The other is mine!

JohnnyN

Yes I told him we were all members of the same car club.

😃

Sjdickso

Hopefully i will get it before the RR day.

Lightning_Coupe

Mine should be here soon then! 😃

Sjdickso

Has he got another one for you then Johnny.

Sjdickso

Thanks Adam for all your help on this Subject!

i'll translate it for you:

I received the money. As i said, DBilas told me that there are no more manifolds in stock. I will let you know as soon as they are available.

I'm sorry, but i only heard about this today from DBilas when i ordered.

Lightning_Coupe

Your welcome Simon 8)

Johnny, I wouldnt be too concerned. I'm sure he will get some more in stock soon. He offered to ship me three at a time over the next few months as an alternative to a group buy. The reason a group buy couldnt be done was becouse he couldnt source 10 or 20 manifolds in one go, 3 is probably all he can get off dbilas at a time, so its not like he had a limmited stock and thats all , it probably just takes a little time to get them in. dunno..

Edit, didnt see that post....so hes just waiting on Dbilas to manufacture some more then?

Vid

Just had a reply, he has said he hasn't got one in stock for me either yet? dunno..

JohnnyN

Just had this one now........

Hi,

OK yes it is good, then it langt if I Infomiere you what the situation is.

But by that Simon Dickson is still nothing came of manifolds for David is out and should arrive a week, that was the last dbilas the elbow for me to the UK and also sent the last they had.

So if the elbow is equal to intercept ;-)

As I said Telefoniere again tomorrow with dbilas how long it takes to hire.

What cost the elbow with you in the U.K

Sven

Hi,

OK das ist ja gut, dann langt es wenn Ich dich Infomiere was Sache ist.

aber von diesem Simon Dickson ist noch nix gekommen, der Krümmer für David ist raus und sollte die Woche ankommen, dass war der letzte Krümmer den dbilas für mich nach U.K verschickt und auch der letzte den sie hatten.

Also wenn der Krümmer kommt gleich abfangen ;-)

Wie gesagt ich Telefoniere morgen noch mal mit dbilas wie lange es evtl dauert.

Was kosten den die Krümmer bei euch in U.K

Sven

Don't know what to reply to his question about the cost of the manifold in the UK? Don't want him putting the price up!! :lol:

You're useful mate. Thanks for that translation. Maybe you could tidy up the above translation too??

;-)

Sjdickso

I have just got a confused message too.

I have roughly translasted it that, he has none in stock at the moment. Me, Vid, and John are all waiting for one and are first in line, and as soon as he has them he will contact John and inform us of a delivery date.

Just hope they can be made and shipped before the RR day. dunno..

this message is a bit harder to translate, but i'll try:

Hi,

Ok, that's allright then. I'll keep you informed.

But i still haven't heard from this Simon Dickson. The manifold for David has been sent and should arrive this week. That was the last one that DBilas has sent to the UK for me and it was also the last one they had in stock.

So, when the manifold comes, intercept it ;-)

As i said, tomorrow i will caal Dbilas again to check how long it will take.

What do the manifolds cost in the UK?

Sven

Lightning_Coupe

For f@*Ks sake dont tell him how much they are here!! He will put the price up! :lol:

JohnnyN

rofl..

Lightning_Coupe

8) Its Here! Arrived this morning! woohoo.gif

Looks good and should do the job nicely. Its been sent out direct from dbilas so its all genuine enough but there is one small bad point, Ufods and Yellow were'nt wrong about the weight, Its f~#kin heavy! It must be made of lead not iron :lol: I just weighed it in at 7.7KG or 1.2 stones.

If you have a vx220 and your very weight consious you might want to consider an alternative, dunno.. guess it depends what performance gains it gives.

Just need to make up a nice 2.25" downpipe now to match the rest of my system and the HJS sports cat Ive also just got 😃 Really is a nice piece of kit! Proper motorsport style cat and should make a good difference.

Just used the rather usfull performance calculator Matt posted for a rough idea of what the weight difference would do to the 0-60 time etc

Vehicle: Astra Coupe linea rossa
Weight: 1223Kg
Power output: 144 bhp standard

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 144
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1223
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 119.63
0 - 60 (Secs) : 8.75
0 - 100 (Secs) : 25.83
60 - 100 (Secs) : 17.08
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 17.21
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 81.62
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 17.01
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 82.99

Assuming your current manifold weighs absolutly nothing and so with an extra 7kg of weight

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 144
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1230
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 118.95
0 - 60 (Secs) : 8.80
0 - 100 (Secs) : 26.02
60 - 100 (Secs) : 17.22
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 17.25
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 81.43
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 17.05
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 82.79

0-60 difference = 0.05 seconds :lol: not much to worry about there then! :lol:

Now for the power gain...lets assume say 6bhp

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 150
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1230
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 123.91
0 - 60 (Secs) : 8.48
0 - 100 (Secs) : 24.56
60 - 100 (Secs) : 16.08
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 16.93
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 83.02
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 16.73
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 84.42

0-60 difference = 0.32 seconds quicker.
0-100 difference = 1.46 seconds!

Thats not to be sniffed at!! a few bhp here and there and you can substantially bring your 0-60 down. 8)
So with 2.4l intake, 270 piper cams, flowmaster intake, dbilas exhaust manifold, sports cat and good exhaust system....185bhp?? in which case

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 185
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1227
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 153.19
0 - 60 (Secs) : 7.03
0 - 100 (Secs) : 18.54
60 - 100 (Secs) : 11.51
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 15.45
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 91.27
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 15.25
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 92.84

7 seconds!! cheers.. thats more like it!!
