Few pics of my new inlet manifold:







And the new exhaust manifold:







Both are done by a friend of mine. Still need a little bit of finishing. Comments are welcome!

 

Need i say more

 

wow, thats some good work! looks a bit tight for space now though.

 

with a little polishing that intake mani would look like a work of art

 

Tidy job, hat off to the fabricator!

 

very nice!!!!

 

OMFG



make me one

 

Looks wicked!

But aint that throttle body a bit small?

 

im liking that buddy .

 

Is there any advantage of that inlet over the XR3i one ???......

 

Very clever
Should look the nuts when its polished!!!

 

There are some tricks used to make sure the air flow is even between all cylinders. All parts are not visible in pictures. Will it work or not will be seen...
Polishing of that inlet would be quite easy altough we have agreed not to polish anything before the 300 bhp mark.

 

If you would polish it, you would gain an instant extra 30bhp for sure

 

looks nice m8 i have just done a turbomanifold for my rst and are doing an inlet manifold as well

 

fookin mint mate. what turbo is that?

i like the idea of having the turbo situated over the gearbox and the exhaust then going down the back betwen the engine and bulkhead, but nice job anyway

 

 

What size turbo is that ????

 

The turbo is "only" a T34 with RST style .63 ex housing. The external wastegate is used because it allows the turbo to be located without thinkig about the wastegate actuator position etc. Also in the future I have a wider selection of turbos as I don't need the integral wastegate.

The location of turbo was selected because a I'm using a remote oil filter and the around the gearbox is a little bit tight now.

 

I am truly impressed!!

How did you plumb in that remote filter?

 

Thats a sweet pair of Fannymolds, oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Superb work

 

In place of the original filter there is a blanking block with two hose connections. These hoses run to the remote filter bracket seen on the picture. Between the remote block and the filter there is a thermostat controlled take off for the oil cooler core itself. All this trouble because it's a Zetec block and there is not enough room for the oil cooler take off on the original filter location.
