Very nice!

Wot no classics :( (apart from the third one down )
Good work :D

Can you list full spec for each one please :)

Isn't the 3rd one down a classic?

Edited to add - You're just showing off Alan, and very nice too :thumb:

When mine was built at engine tuner, the standard of prep was awsome👍
Infact it's still clean now, two years on....

Threads like these always leave me amazed more people don't fit reversed inlet manifolds. The pipework ends up being so much neater for a FMIC that way.

IainMilford 25 August 2016 01:37 PM

pretty sure the front mount from the top one (WR1) is fitted to my car now :)

Agree, I'm thinking of moving to reversed inlet, shorter/neater pipe work and a cooler routing too.

Going rotated is one of those jobs that requires total commitment. We've built them both ways and I'm not certain that the difference is as much as all that, but it certainly sexes it up a bit!

henrysmith 26 August 2016 11:43 AM

Some nice ones there for sure - 8th from bottom is defo my favourite:D

Yeah I'd imagine the performance difference on a road car isn't that drastic. Though as you say, it does look much more right. The mess of pipe work you end up with on a conventional FMIC looks more than a little Heath Robinson.

+1 on this. A little bit of effort really tidies the bay up even more so with a rotated turbo but I can't afford that :cry:

But isn't rotated the only way to go for really big power because of turbo limitations?

And where are the pictures of the scooter engine? :)

Sorry, I was referring to rotated manifolds, not turbos!

Ah sorry, I got that completely wrong and understand now!
