Tintin_SR Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 i was just thinking of things to do to my 4efte! i want to no is there is different inlet manifolds to get, if so what are thy and +/- of them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liam2368 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 3rd runner is heavily restricted would recomend getting another one if your running higher boost or another turbo for definate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riko666 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 INTAKE Manifold.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tintin_SR Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 INTAKE Manifold..thanks, i now bout this am in the market for one of them soon! starlet stuff costs so much thow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 martin, riko was referring to liams post. the stock ex manifold is restricted, not the inlet. as dub said, the stock one can cope with alot of power before it gets restrictive. you can fit the acis manifolds, but they are such a pig to get working right. heres a pic of mine. it shifts the position of the throttle body to the right, so you have to get a new throttle cable, and you have to get soem new intercooler pipes made up for it to work (you can see in the second pic how out it is....)then you have to fanny about with the acis actuator to get that working. and you have to drill and tap a bung for the air temp sensor as it doesnt have one.. its aggro. but it give a good hike in torque.

nic1.3 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 would the 4 branch intake manifold from the jdm 4efe be useful in a turbo set up at all?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 na, for the turbo application the stock one would be more useful. for forced induction you dont really need to finely tune the intake/exhaust runners as much, you just want the air in the chambers and fast as possible.

nic1.3 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 You dont know what your talking about ladOK...Thanx for your kind words.....i was just curious what effect the 4 branch would have....sum off us aren't born ep experts after all hence the reason for this very site..

StarletRick Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 ignore it mate, hes hardly a knowledge bank himself... id be quite interested in knowing his opinions on the 4 branch if hes savvy enough to insult people. the 4 branch manifold isnt cast in the same way the turbo manifolds are. it is bent pipe. so there isnt really much room to port, and tbh they dont need it. they are very free flowing. its the length thats the issue. the runners are probably 14-16 inches long. thats extra travel time for the charged air, and more space for the air to go. as i said before, turbo cars want the air, in the chambers, as fast as possible.

StarletRick Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 yeah, the you dont have to be so delicate with the flow paths and turbulences etc. because the air isnt being sucked in, its being rammed in by a turbo ^^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
