i did hear thru the grapevine that a company makes a proper conversion plate for the job


any help would be greatfully recieved !

cheers mate ur a star !

 

So what benefits do you get?

 

Not alot so ive heard, hardly worth the conversion.

 

im rotating my inlet due to the intercooler im fabricating at the mo. the cold side feed to the throttle body was in the wrong position with the inlet manafold taking its feed from the rear ( non rotated ).

 

Ive heard that because the Intercooler pipe work is shorter there is less lag if your running a big turbo

 

Seems a lot of faffing around to get rid of something most people never notice on a properly mapped car?

 

Thats a load of rubbish, I have seen probs 200rpm spool gain from a front mount turbo with rotated manifold as compared to my normal fit garret

 

if u guys knew what it was i was building u would realise im far from faffing around lol !

 

Enlighten us then!

 

ull see once she's back on the road..... good things come to those that wait lol !

 

 

what models is rotating the inlet manifold easiest on ?

 

1.5 is the easiest, just turn it round and weld on a wedge (I think it can even be down without any welding, just angled adapter bolted on). As mentioned before, you don't notice the difference and it is ALOT of work (wiring extending/pipe work extending/fuel lines fabricating etc...)

 

Very nice, planning a simular job in the next few weeks once i get the engine back in.
Had a reversed inlet on my old classic and noticed the difference on spool up etc!

I think every little helps when engine building
