Paddy gti Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) What are the flow characteristics like between the i4 manifold and the plastic inlet?Flow is better than the plastic manifold due to being a more open fluid design like the zetecs with the cast inlet I'm hoping to get a little more throttle response not really power .. Mainly just a talking point on the car Manfold drilled and tapped to accept the adapter plate http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/Superdream84/escort/DFCCEE87-9131-40E9-BFBA-D8E8BFC66E57_zps9jwghocl.jpg These are the two new holes (red arrows) http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/Superdream84/escort/8BAEE0B9-E9CF-462D-91A7-3553764F8966_zps2aj4ku6n.jpg These two now line up with two of the original holes in the throttle body (green arrows) the bottom one is an original hole on the manifold http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/Superdream84/escort/42397571-813F-43B6-BD48-E510F92D4AF2_zpsld9rmzgs.jpg The new hole centre right is for a cap head bolt to hold the right half of the plate down http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/Superdream84/escort/13755E6F-B58E-44B8-A767-E59DA372200C_zpsw3kdfga5.jpg http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/Superdream84/escort/A78BBEFB-41C9-4390-B517-E84AF22E9A7B_zpsq3frdusz.jpg http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/Superdream84/escort/18E9937C-6A7C-4EC5-A972-AEDDA666830C_zpsefla1bm0.jpg Throttle body in place two bolts passing through the plate to the manifold the right hand side held down by the cap head and right hand throttle body will be held with bolts and nylon nuts http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/Superdream84/escort/35F0D53D-691F-4740-BF52-5A9D99C5F43D_zpsj0w7nc13.jpg Edited May 15, 2015 by Paddy gti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy gti Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Inspected the doors going to want to get replacements .. They all had rust bubbles on the skins and a few bad edges when it went in for the arches doing had all these things sorted but the rust is making a return so now going to be looking out for rust free doors just for my own peace of mind that the rust won't come back again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Why are you worried about port matching stuff when you've got a massive step at the throttle body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy gti Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Why are you worried about port matching stuff when you've got a massive step at the throttle body? the step on the manifold is going to be hand ground away due to the shape of the manifold i cant jig it on a machine to cnc or even manualy machine it .
