a friend of mine decided to go for the 400+ upgrade, all done and dusted but had to put his name down on a back order on an uprated inlet manifold,

whats the worst that could happen, i'll have my uprated manifold soon so this shitty plastic one should do for a couple of weeks

the results

BANG!!!!



Oh dear



FAIL



Lesson learnt

 

DOH!!! Is he ordering his inlet from Jamsport for about £1000? If so I know the guy who makes these and Jamsport like to take all the credit for them too! Oh and he doesn't charge £1000 either

 

no mate he's good friends with tony at pumaspeed and will get it at cost.

think its this one, he's been waiting on them for a while

car will be going back in and going on the latest map to 440BHP. and of course his inlet manifold will be there :-D

 

WOW!!!!

 

Happy days then

This is the Jamsport one I was on about

Jesus Christ you weren't kidding on the price

And they call pumagreed

 

Bet a new bonnet won't be cheap.

 

Bonnet was repaired looks mint now

 

I've heard the JWR/Autotech conversion its much safer and more reliable, runs less boost with the same results, aparently there have been a few failures recently with the other conversions which use different software and run a higher peak boost and causing detonation, might be worth some extra research.

 

Tbh the map ran sweet when it was on, it's just that shitty plastic inlet that's the weak link, hopefully all should be well once that goes on, anyone know what map files pumaspeed use??

Apparently Pumaspeed use DNA software.

 

I run JWR 100 map with the Sitech mani mountune also do them but the maps arnt he problem the Pish ford manys have went on standard cars aswell one of the first mods I done was change the many tell your mate to get a torque link aswell best mod for the money stops the engine movement

 

To clarify, I wasn't talking about manifold failures due to maps, I was referring to destroying engines becuase of running 1.7 bar of boost like some tuners are doing.

 

i'll check what boost he's running on his when this new 440 map is on, apparently its a new map and i don't think its from dna

 

Yeh i know buddy i was just saying best change manifold even on standard cars but like you say Autotech run the lowest boost presure

 

run it back to ford and tell em it was std boost
that will cause some head scratching

 

most of the first batch of cars that blew the inlet were all standard.

 

Hi pal,
I see you have done away with the resonator ! This is what i want to do can you advise me on what to do??
many thanks
