[Jamie_F]

youve joined the primaries on the manifold wrong, 1&4 and 2&3 should be paired for a 4-2-1 mainfold.

[tinxy]

yes engine running and driving guys the manifold being wrong was just to get the space needed will this kill much power ??? ill post up a video tomorrow guys

so i plan on cuttin my inlet manifold reversing the inlet and re welding it so my inlet comes out the right hand side would i b better cutting it along the red line and welding on some tube ing or cuttin it on the green line and placeing the cilinder along the top




so i end up with this



ie this but the throttle bodie cumming out the other side




or am i missing a easyer method ?? cheers guys james

[nige-p]

as you said man best bet is to cut your inlet and mount the throttle body on the opposite end of the intake and put a 90degree elbow on and then your airflow meter on

got to say thought it looks hard as nails and i bet it leaves a lot of people suprised, keep up the good work

[escort1989uk]

bike carbs maybe

[tinxy]

i want 2 keep it standard injection atm so im staying away from carbs what wil i nd 2 weld the ally ?

[tinxy]

sprayed my arches yesterday what you guys think ?

[nige-p]

welding ally is quite hard best bet is to cut all the parts then get a man to weld it for you

[callymat]

cars looking good mate

[liam1234]

a bet thats fast as fu*k

[dan_adams_c20xe]

i want 2 keep it standard injection atm so im staying away from carbs what wil i nd 2 weld the ally ?
