Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Time for a bit more of an update!!! I have been working on a new inlet made by Dean @ R-W Developments but its no ordinary inlet!! the full details will be held back for now lol but hear are a few teasers and some of the other work that has gone into it, its taken some working out and making fit has been good fun to say the least but the reason why will become clear later on! I will be running a Honda throttle body on the new inlet but the pulley for it works the wrong way round for my cable so I made a hybrid pulley from the toyota and honda. The toyota pulley and a disc I cut out to use then cut it to shape I forgot to get photos of the honda one but I had to split the pulley from the rest of it as it also works the throttle return spring unlike the toyota one, I then cut the center out of the toyota pulley and welded it all together. Then Drilled lots of holes to thin it down a bit, then some paint! I also made this to go on the inlet for the vac feed for the brake sevo Hear are some teaser picks of the inlet!!

Socks Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Awesome Handywork as usual Mr Rob! Your car needs a civic rad big time tho.. Will lower your oil temps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 It will be getting a new rad Matt in good time! but im not into the civic rads it will be much bigger than that! and it will be more of Deans work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It will be getting a new rad Matt in good time! but im not into the civic rads it will be much bigger than that! and it will be more of Deans work! The access/space and lower water and oil temps make it more then worth it imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Im not short of space so im going for surface area, much more efficient cooling and maybe a oil cooler if I ever get the urge to take it on the track, but im more likely to be stuck in traffic than on the track lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
