garage 19 . no i aint no area six sales man , its simply a case that ian has done more research and development work on zetec turbos than anyone else has and someone was asking whats a good inlet so i gave him my opinion.
crazycage . thats your opinion ,but i know who i would listen to and iam sure "your inlet" (rover) was first used by ian on sunnys engine over 8 years ago so if that was that good why did ian design another inlet? easy for better flow for greater bhp.
cheers paul
Larger flow volume??
You have stated that the Areasix manifold is ZERO LOSS. (which is bollocks)
I guess what you are trying to say is that it flows more than your inlet port so there for there is no restriction.
If so why spend another £2.5k on something different?
You say:
-Re-buildable? So what. Why would you want to get inside your inlet manifold?
-Different diffuser. Why would you need that? You say the Area six one has perfect distribution across all cylinders.
-Bigger runners? Why would you need that if if the Areasix one is ZERO LOSS?
At the end of the day i could fabricate and sell the area six one you have shown for £250 and still make a reasonable profit. To me that says that someone is getting £500 for simply being the middle man.
