Reverse inlet manifold
#6
I did my GC8 years ago and when the manifold was spun the throttle body hit the bonnet when closed. I left it the right way round but got the throttle body welded into the front and plated the hole in the rear where it was. Worked a treat.

lag mens your in wrong gear imo
i adjust my gear to suit the driving style, and that means no/minimal lag.
i have noticed those that moan about lag, are older, and want the throttle response of and n/a and an auto box to go with it lol
mines a api built 2.1 with a rotated gt35r billet, and all along my build guys mentioned it could well be laggy, at 70mph in 6th gear then foot down, yes it certainly isbut why would i do that? 2nd,3rd,4th gear when accelerating, its simply not got any lag.
FWIW my manifold is reversed also, big job, and sure a bits been welded onto the manifold to point the t/b slightly downward. and i also ran a coil pack with ht leads on it - which were only able to be fitted with thinner cosworth heat spacers
ive seen set ups running newage coil packs and relocated power steering resevoir to give clearance under inlet for a pipe to a top fed i/c which ive seen a lot of pictures of, then an i/c outlet at top straight to t/b. this is probably shortest route and looks around 3-4 foot in total pipework. ata aguess
ifyour minted just buy the cosworth flipped one, its dear, but looks sweet as - think banny? or someone has one - it looks fecking awsome.
bear in mind mine is a road car, hence my veiw on lag, if its a racer then the extra 100'ths of a second may well be relevant

sure if you look in projects theres a few good examples mate
maybe not exact guides as i think a lot is trial and error - and minor differences in years/specs can alter things
but worth a look certainly mate
