Mex Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 No problem. Are you going for bike carbs or ITB's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy gti Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 No problem. Are you going for bike carbs or ITB's? neither more along lines of the rover M16 - T Series inlet manifold mod.. basicaly removing the horrible restrictive and poorly designed plastic zetec inlet manifold for better air flow hopefully be a bit more responsive and look better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have you done to require better flow? Whats wrong with a HO manifold as an upgrade? How will you plug your temp sensor into the rover manifold? Or the idle control valve.....or tps as all the plugs will be wrong anf the ford ecu may not even be able to read the rover sensor signals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mex Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 The Rover manifold has mostly been used for turbo conversion but there are some in N/A installs too. MDA Motorsport sell the baseplate and an adapter plate for a 2 litre throttle body.and reckon that minimal wiring changes are required. On an N/A engine there's probably little point unless you've had head work done and are running fairly aggressive cams. According to Burton the limit on the 130 spec 1.8 with HO manifold is about 150 BHP and about 160BHP on the Mondeo 2 litre which has a plastic manifold when running a Webber Alpha setup.

Paddy gti Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Yes 40hp is so minimal....Even if it had the same power it was rated at when it was new which I highly doubt but I suppose ignorance it bliss Edited December 20, 2014 by Paddy gti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mex Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Got a 1.8 from a GTi when I killed my second 1.6. With a Mangnex system, Viper induction kit and a mapped unichip it made a real 137BHP or so, that was with the plastic inlet and only 105/115 spec cams. A Rover or similar is probably not a bad idea if you if your you have other mods in the future. It might be worth chatting to MDA since they do the Rover conversion and will be better able tell you what you can expect to gain and what mods work best with it.
