hi iv been looking at my old post and i got told for me to get more
power out of my engine i need inprove mr air flow

im at my max on power wise and im still useing the 1.8 inlet the black plastic 1

is their a nuther inlet i can use to get more out my engine
and can i just fit it with out haveing to take it threw dyno test again ?

info pleses

pics will help of inlets thanx

 

you have to ask yourself is it really worth it mate? sometimes its better putting money to one side towards another future car thats already quick out of the box

 

Maybe he cant insure anything else yet? maybe he doesnt want/need to

Jesus you cossie owners have to take the blinkers off sometimes

 

i'll take that as all tongue in cheek

i remember all too well what it was like wanting a faster car and not getting it. 1 day tho sonny jim!

(how old do i sound?! )

 

LOL my thoughts exactly maybe he has the car he wants but wants it to have more power

 

How do you know its the inlet thats restrictive. I'll bet its plenty good enough up to around 160bhp.....i'd imagine cams and a decent exhaust and 4-2-1 manifold would be the best start. And a remap to match

 

Also the spec its at right now might help us to help you progress

 

Theres a guy selling a GTi in the for sale room, and his has 154bhp i think it was, graph to prove etc.

He didnt really do an awful lot to achieve it

 

to get a genuine 150bhp out of the 1800 zetec ain't that cheap and needs very good setting up to perform right.
i'm pretty sure the inlet is fine for upto 170 odd bhp and which point you'd need t/bs to get anymore anyway.
another option is the rover inlet but it needs a fair bit of odding to fit

 

hi i aredy have spent alot on this engine i have

mondeo cams 2ltr

performance stainless manifold and de cat and mongoose system straight threw

k1 leads iridium plugs

2ltr tb air maf sencer

super chipt

i was going to fit kent cams the kz1802 and vernier pullies but a member told me their is no pouint becouse i am aredy at my maximum on air flow and ill need a better inlet than the standerd gti 1

can someone tell me what best to do

 

It is well known that standard inlets are restrictive.

A standard 2 ltr ZETEC can produce 170+ bhp, you dont need cams until then.

 

does the GTi have the HO Inlet manifold???

 

Get yourself some bike carbs on there! i know a guy who does them round here, mainfold ect to suite your car and a rolling road setup Ł500 drive in 9am and pick it up at 5

Thats good they sound mental on bike carbs

 

They do pal! when the throttle is wide open you can see straight into the head port, cant beat the sound of a motor on TB,s, twin carbs or bike carbs at wide open throttle

 

2.0 inlet manifold?

 

That sounds 2 obvious but who knows?

 

Wont fit Escorts and Fiesta engine bays.

You can adapt the Rover Turbo inlet.

Bike Carsb are out on post 94 cars for emisisons.

The best bet is bike TBs, that is what i have.

 

so you cant have them on cars over 94?

 

mk5rst

i like the idea of theses bike carbs ?

the 2ltr inlet i have been thinking about as well

but no iv bin told it will not fit ?

im willing to pay Ł500 if i can get a set of bike carbs on and drive away all done i love the sound of theses my matre had a set on his westfield

keep everyone awake

and think ill need a shell card but its worth it

i get 24 mpg at the moment what will i exspect with a set of bike carbs on ?

 

Use bike TBs, you will get good economy, no emissions worries, easier to tune etc.

 

the 2.0 one does fit, it just taps the brake bar when revved. If you are ok with that then go ahead and fit it

 

you will be surprised just how economical/emision friendly they are!

 

escort xr3i inlet manifold will this fit my zetec

i went to a cruise and their was a young chap with a xr 2 i or 3 i

with a turbo fitted it was a 1.8 zetec same ass mine and he was useing a efi inlet manifold

will this be a good inlet for what i need
