Paddy gti Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Metal inlet plate arrived today that I'm going to mount the i4 inlet to http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/Superdream84/escort/4EA5C4F8-A545-4143-8C1E-DFAE25013F5E_zpsd90l7fw8.jpg Just have to machine the plate in a couple of places so the fuel rail mounts don't foul it and it can sit flush and machine the top so the fuel rail can actually fit in http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/Superdream84/escort/9FCAF5F5-2BA1-4793-BD47-47C6B8901573_zpsnyi3rbyq.jpg Then machine the ports on the plastic manifold to match as they run up at an angle but there's a lot of meat around that area so it's not a problem http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/Superdream84/escort/EE88C997-BF9E-4441-B989-4BED09146563_zps3eseolsx.jpg http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/Superdream84/escort/F6378D1E-2C57-4E30-BC08-BA6F60A6C805_zpstymurkgz.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two left holes the bolts will go through the throttle body and into the manifold the upper and lower right hand holes il fit nylon nuts to the tray to hold the throttle to the already fixed plate http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/Superdream84/escort/C46214D9-5920-4CFB-8419-0637825480B9_zpsv5i5bpwp.jpg http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/Superdream84/escort/786F9236-4CA4-48E1-94D4-4D493B3017C7_zpskbnhx9hh.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
