Why don't you buy the manifold and make the fuel rail Gareth? The fuel rail is the easy bit to make

wes, thought of that aswell mate but i thought if i could buy the lot cheap enough (lazy i mean)

made a few rails before,,, but its always on the back of my mind about them ( even though i tested them too 1.5x working pressure)

i also have an ideo about making throttle bodies inlet (bring back any memorys?)

Yes, expensive ones

Although i did just have a thought, why not use the same throttle body setup i did but use a swedish plenum (making a back plate up from a sheet of ally for it to bolt to). Abit of flow testing later and bobs your mothers brother

Your in the prime positon to try it out too with a T-Sex to map it properly

If you are seriously thinking about that route, then go 4 big injectors and get them mounted in the inlet manifold not the TB's, as you won't have enough clearence for the back plate to bolt the plenum to:



God that was expensive
