What inlet manifolds are ppl using?

Im purchasing a 4x4 cover from north york tom as my crappy Swedish one has split!!

Just wondering if i need a spacer to allow sufficiant air flow?

ta

 

Was it a 'Swedish' one or a cheap copy?

I'm on std EsCos one, but 'O' ringed for a better/more reliable seal.

 

escort cosworth small turbo inlet good for 500 bhp

 

defo cheap pal,came witht the car apparently the last owner suffered some probs with it

i have a full cometic gasket set

 

Just noticed your sig - you should be fine with what you're getting. If the spacer makes a difference at your power level, you'd really need a remap too....

 

oh i see,well the car should be more like 450 with the full 34 psi which i WILL run on the drag strip etc.The day of the RR it was hitting around 26 psi.I am aware it will be benaficial lower down witht the standard plenum just need to know if ill be ok running this kinda boost level through a t38.

 

Think the 4x4 cover is good for around 450 , small turbo 500 and rs500 cover 550+.

 

its not really the plenum thats the restriction, its the elbow.

As abr500 says the eecv small turbo escort is a cracking inlet.

Mines made 453 ATW using one.

 

i'm on standard 4x4....

 

For 400 i used std inlet!

 

So the elbow on the 4x4 cover is restrictive then,sounds like its up to the job so ill bolt it up and see how it goes.

 

pete send me your 4x4 inlet cover and i'll get this done to stop the restriction on the elbow

 

mines a small turbo escort cos item on mine

 

I have a Swedish replica inlet plenum, made to replace an ally one that split a couple of times along the welds (after ballooning up anytime it saw decent boost)

Not had a problem with mine, Doug Stirling also uses the same one on his 568bhp car.

Si

 

Top quality these are

 

pics of your split please!

 

i was meant to be getting 1 of these sweedish style ones but it fell through....il get one later in year,think my standard 2wd one is maxed now aswell

 

Small turbo escort. Slightly ported just to take the rough off it. 480bhp No spacer of course.

 

cheers butch

gonna pick one up tom and ill get the welding done using the picture you posted

Hey im down your way tomorrow,calling at turbo techinics

 

will do mate,the top weld has split all the way along about 6 inches long

 

i'll be round northampton somewhere, what u doin getting your wastegate arm fixed

 

yeah fukin things nearly twisted off

from there im up to scarborough for the 4x4 plenum unless someones got one down there???

oh and a boost hose

 

I use an rs500 inlet on mine mate

 

yeah thats ok i guess

 

show off

 

That's the problem with some of the copies, they're not fit for purpose . I have seen LOADS of these do the same thing. Not ONE of our proper Swedish ones have failed in any way, shape or form .

Now you know why the copies are "cheap" .

 

Might get that mod done on mine then..

 

Mine is an NMS custom one...

Run's over 700bhp on karl's 3door

 

....Dingy but Karls isnt a PROVEN 700bhp

 

is that the same 700 bhp that piloted his 3 door to 220 mph

 

Made over 550 at the wheels mate does that count.....

220mph on the m42 Mint


oops soz, brunters only lads

 

rofl

didnt it have a standard coil on it. 220mph on the m42.

 

mine is on std inlet

 

Nope a GRP A item but what has that got to do with it

 

Mine makes just under 500bhp at 26psi......to 7000rpm...

 

...even i have to Barry Chuckle at 220mph

 

A Grp A item with 700 bhp and 220 mph? You think its man enough? Dont think so Dingy

 

it is a weapon mate with his current gearing he reaches the limiter (188mph) by the time mine is just about 145mph ish..... measured on the same stretch of road (which isn't that long!)

it's only because he has no interest in competition that we haven't seen more of it

i wonder if he'll lend it to me for the Pf thrash

 

Not doubting it is a weapon mate, but 220 and no its nothing to do with being MAD, its just i dont beleive he did it thats all

IF the thrash ever gets going, keep on at Karl night and day to turn up
