Guys,

Looking for different Inlet manifold for my S2.

Recently done the EFI conversion and basically I'm looking to get rid of the pipe that goes straight over the rocker cover to the Intercooler.

Would the one of an XR3i cause any problems as its a side entry and would allow the removal of the pipe over the rocker.

Any help would be great.

The EFI inlets have a cutout in the ports that meet up with the head, for the injectors. If you use anything else you will have to cut those in, or get an adaptor plate for them. And you will need to find a way to mount the injectors because the fuel rail bolts to the EFI inlet.

Also the EFI inlets have electronics like a throttle position sensor, air temp, that you willl need to somehow make work on whatever other inlet you choose.

modify the mfi sandwich plate to accept efi injectors and weld mounts on for the injector rail

Yeah, I meant the EFI head has the cutouts for the injectors, though the EFI inlet does split in half, no idea if you can put another inlet on top of that and use the EFI bottom half which has the injector/fuel rail mounts on it

It's a MFI head i have. I got the adaptor plate from Jano for the EFI manifold to bolt too.

Just looking to see what side entry manifolds there are so i can get rid of that crossover pipe and try and tidy the engine bay up abit.

Cheers for the suggestions.

Your idea can be done as seen it done can't mind wot throttle body was used ..or wot injector set up it had ..am sure there will be somebody on here that's done it...

We're bouts u at m8

Went off the idea now. Getting all the bits together for a ZT now.

Just down in Falkirk, what about you?

Wishy m8..u re building or got car on the rd

Cars on the road. Just a 1600cvh EFI the now. Will stay that way until the ZT is built.

Combination of EFI head and MFI inlet or MFI head and EFI inlet just causes unnecessary problems.

I modified an RS1600i inlet but still use a MFI head.

In your case I'd use an adapter to make the EFI tb fit to the MFI inlet. Going full ZT will make things easier. Unless you're using Escort/Fiesta 16V setup, most of them also have a crossover pipe.
