Hi all ,

I'm looking to rebuild my cossie lump and know rough spec I'm going for
Around 450bhp and hopefully same torque .

Which inlet best ?

Burton power do rs500 inlet with throttle body or hart/auto specialist inlet

I have Been offered a hart manifold and seems the big power cars use them

 

For that power all 3 would be ok. If u got big money to spend get rs500 as direct fit no messing around and added benefit of bigger throttle body. If u want a cheaper inlet that flows better than 500 when going for big power 500+ then hart is what u need but a bit of messing around to fit them. Another alternative is small turbo escort inlet, flow 500hp and can be had for £200.

 

Thanks for replys , I heard pas pipe an issue ?
Any other issues with hart ?

 

Hart is a good bit of kit Burtons do a pipe that replaces and solves the problem of the PAS piggy tail pipe fouling the throttle body

you only have that issue with 2wd and early 4x4 depending on the car brake lines may need a bit of modding to fit

daz i have a modded small turbo inlet for sale with tb and welded on spacer ,was on tibs 3dr which ran 550bhp

in the for sale section

 

Is there any issues with either as or hart. .
I have been told they strip threads easy on hart by a few and as inlet is better made ?

 

Hart threads are crap

A ST Escos inlet will do 450bhp all day long, it depends on how much further you want to go

The Hart inlet is really good you do get a few issues fitting them but there are way rounds them.
Here's the my thread back in 2010 when I fitted mine:

the EEC4 is fine for 500 Daz. I will have mine for sale too

 

if you want one that works at 450 all the three mentioned will be OK.

You ask which is best the Hart is on a different planet & will flow over 850bhp. The RS500 is out of puff around 750bhp.

 

If your sticking to 450 go st escort if your going to wont more one day get it out the way now and get a hart one! As for the threads pulling just heli coil them easy fix!

 

Seems alot of money on a inlet then heli coil them :-(

What price it cost you for heli coil ?

 

nothing for me as I had them at work and only took me half hour! And to be fair people have fitted that inlet with no probs at all I don't know if they quote an exact torque for the bolts buts its probably over tightening that strips the threads anyway

 

I never had any problems with the threads on my Hart inlet.
