medic4.life · 12-17-2007, 01:53 PM

well ill be getting a greddy kit, and its a gift from the family for making it to RN program. I was looking at the begi-s kit but was too late till they gave the receipt for it.
So i was wondering how do i releive stress on the manifold?
thanks in advanced

Hey medic welcome to the club. 1st advice I have for you is sell the greddy kit and get the Begi kit. Go over to www.miataturbo.net There is a whole greddy section where you can find all the info you need.

Well, first you'll need some lotion and maybe Kleenex to wipe up anything that misses the manifold.

I fail to see how this will help you, though. :-s

cut relief cuts in the manifold.

The 2 other posts on the other forums, with detailed responses and pictures weren't good enough for you?

Basically described above, but I'll add a little more detail. You're actually cutting the manifold flange into 4 seperate pieces, thus allowing flex due to heat expansion. I'll see if I can dig up a picture for you of a friend that recently installed a Begi kit if you need it, just pm me and I'll do my best.

Reminds me of someone on m.net who started 4 different threads about his wabbly crank pulley and hasnt responded in any of them.

Hell, I wouldn't reply if I had a wabbly crank pulley.
