marki Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hi all Next on my to do list is my old exhaust, im looking at a Phoenix manifold and large bore exhaust. A few questions.... 1 Will i need to change the throttle linkage to overhead ? I dont wont to do this if i can help it as iv'e just bushed and rebuilt the standard and im happy with it. 2 Will i get a couple of extra HP from this system or not ? as the winter project is head and cam work. 3 Any ideas from where to purchase or is it normal suppliers ? Cheers for now Mark.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hi Mark, I hope you had a good trip south! There was a chap selling a barely used second hand Phoenix system a couple of weeks ago and I don't think it sold (I could be wrong) maybe worth a quick forum search if your ok with a slightly used system. Engine goes back in on the 16th! Hope to be out and about soon....... Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marki Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hi Matt Trip was better than i even hoped it would be ( nobody lives in France ) I will have a look back through the for sale forum. Good news on the engine, look forward to seeing you out and about........... Thanks Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marki Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hasn't anyone fitted a pheonix manifold and standard linkage ? Mark.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Velo-felo Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hi Mark, yes I think mine has a Pheonix manifold and standard set up on the linkage. Trouble is I'm in Hampshire and my car is in Gloucestershire, can take some pics at the weekend though if it helps. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marki Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Thanks Steve That would be great, dont want to buy it and then find iv'e got another bill Cheers Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Velo-felo Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Mark, I do know its definitely on a standard linkage as I've just put the fast idle bit back together correctly after it had been in to a so called TR specialist for work by the previous owner. Yet another thing I've found bogded. The only thing I'm not sure on is whether its a genuine Pheonix manifold as it was already fitted on the car. It's tubular stainless and on a receipt in the paperwork it says Pheonix sports exhaust so I'm assuming it is. But happy to take some pics and send you over the weekend. I also think the tubular construction provides better exhaust flow than the cast original so it probably ups the bhp a little. Sounds great though whatever !

marki Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Yes the standard manifold does look very restrictive. So while im there....... And yes they do sound nice Thanks again Mark.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rorr1971 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hi mark I fitted the Phoenix headers with cross flow rear. Purchased from moss. No problems with the standard under slung linkage. I did have to modify the bracket for the air manifold so it cleared the extractor pipes. It does sound good and really freed up the engine, money well spent. rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marki Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Thanks for that Rob Do you have a part no from Moss. As there seems to be a couple of designs. Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rorr1971 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hi mark From moss the headers are PXTH604 with the super sports cross box PXS5203 http://www.tr-register.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/33708-phoenix-6-3-1-headers-and-cross-flow-muffler/ Had to modify the exhaust tube to get it through the breast plate on the chassis Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marki Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Nice video. Do you have A or J type OD, i wonder if that makes a diff to fitting ? There must be somebody thats fitted a Pheonix system out there, i dont want to have to employ a shop to fit it. Thanks Steve Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rorr1971 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Na no OD on mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Velo-felo Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Mark, not sure what pics you need but I've taken a few under bonnet ones today, just got back from Gloucester so can mail you tomorrow if it helps. Pm me your e mail if it helps, Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Millward Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Just a side note but Rob, I was looking at the castor on your rear wheel and it appears to be a tadd excessive. What angle is it set at? Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rorr1971 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hi tony I have not done anything one the rear (apart from diff out to repair the mounts) so have not looked at the camber. I may have been accelerating when this pic was taken. having another look to day in the shed it does not look the same so the pic is a little mis leading. I will compare other tr6 when I at the next club meet. Thanks for the pointer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Millward Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I noticed because I have been playing with mine (camber that is), you have a great looking TR all the same. Cheers Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
