4) You have a fair point on being able to change the manifold entrance around.
5) Are you saying that the runner angle of aproach or the runner taper is optimum at 15 degrees? No need for the lecture on harmonics. The assumptions about runner length are not always correct. It depends which harmonic the runner lengths fall into.
6) You are paying through the nose for Jenvey parts that are not needed. A skilled fabricator could form those parts from sheet for a fraction of the cost. I stand by my figures. If i had to make a batch of five similar inlets i would be happy to sell them for £250
7) No one has identified the design flaw yet!
i aint confusing anything as i have researched this well before buying the inlet as i aint the sort of person who throws cash around as i havent got that much
,
ok soz if your not a mechanic
no areasix have only used the air horns best suited to there inlet. we all know that different shapes , sharp conrners etc restrict flow no matter how small so iam hoping and have great faith that this will be an improvement on my engine but only time will tell.
look mate i aint lecturing anyone as i really dont give a fuck its your opinion vs mine and i can see your point but this is the best inlet for the zetec in my opinion and if your willing to build me a 8 injector inlet made to your spec i will gladly take it with me when my engine gets dynoed again and do fare back to back testing and use my engine as the guinea pig. i cant say farer than that ! you up for it? and i will also bring a area six inlet along to compare.
yes iam paying a price and so is ian but thats that , cast alloy will be far superior in strenght compared to rolled and welded alloy and is lighter too . iam happy so who cares hey. ive researched and got good info from ams inlets which are the best inlet for evos and they have built the same inlets with different plenums , tappers , air horns etc etc and have done extensive back to back testing , so unless you know something better than them , then i am happy with the info ive read and collected and my good friend is also the best zetec turbo tuner in the uk and what he dont know aint worth knowing
so come on then tell us what the problem is as i give up ? (even though it worked on my engine and so many others)
thanks paul
