Default Rover M16 inlet on zetec engine with ofab/ofac guide

heres how the complete rover m16 inlet manifold looks



rover fuel rail modified by drilling and tapping 2 new holes to allow fitment of the fiesta turbo fuel pressure regulator



the old throttle body on the end of the rover plenum was cut off as in the below pic



idle speed control valve was fitted by drilling and tapping the necessary holes to allow it to screw onto the plenum, a spacer plate was needed to prevent the sensor plug fouling the plenum. a flange to suit the fiesta turbo throttle body was made, and welded onto the end of the open rover plenum chamber



rather than use an adaptor plate i cut the flange that bolts to the cylinder head off the rover inlet



and also cut the flange from a zetec manifold



then welded the two together, the injector ports needed a small amount of weld build up and then have it ground out inside the port





this face was the milled flat at work, this was necessary because when it was welded the flange wasnt bolted down to something solid so it warped and was no longer flat



heres the finished face, all nice and perfectly flat and smooth, it may not look it in the pic but it is 100% true



the finished manifold with all the ancillary's bolted on looks like this :Q
