Big Unit New Member 9 Member For: 3y 6d Posted 14/04/21 04:37 AM Share Posted 14/04/21 04:37 AM Hi. Last year I went looking for an FG turbo inlet manifold for a conversion my son and I are doing. We spent weeks looking as they are hard to find in NSW. From there we have scanned a unit loaned to us and designed a model with a few changes. We've corrected the airflow issues on cylinders 1 and 6. The intake will accept BA and FG throttle bodies. This manifold will bolt on to a BA engine with the factory water pipes. The vac sources are 1/8 NPT threaded block off's At this point I am about to start production with a foundry and I'm trying to gauge the general interest in a product like this. If anyone can point out how I put a picture up let me know and I'll put the basic plan up. Cheers Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Unit New Member 9 Member For: 3y 6d Posted 14/04/21 05:31 AM Author Share Posted 14/04/21 05:31 AM Hi k31th. New to this. I was trying to gauge a response more than advertising at this point. Both from a demand and peoples thought's on what we've done in regards to the model. I don't have a brand name or part number at this point. If I get it up and running I would need to advertise the product but it's not there yet. I'm happy to wait for a response before I will put up the pictures as I don't want to cause any issues.

TRYME Member 313 Member For: 3y 1m 25d Posted 14/04/21 09:52 AM Share Posted 14/04/21 09:52 AM Interesting how does this vary to an FG manifold in terms of flow etc,, do you have an approx data? and a rough estimation on cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Unit New Member 9 Member For: 3y 6d Posted 14/04/21 10:06 AM Author Share Posted 14/04/21 10:06 AM We flow tested the original manifold and found it flowed less, around 8% on the end cylinders. We adjusted the intakes and retested them on the CAD. We are just waiting now for a final quote but at this point it'll be around the $1200 figure. Sorry each unit will come with testing at 80 psi for a period of 10 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
