Has Christian got this mod?
Think I will do it. Cannot do any harm and might be worth an odd bhp or more especially on the rollers where induction temperatures can be an issue. [Edited by harvey - 12/3/2002 11:31:45 AM] |

Thats one hell of a lot of 'farts' even to get to 40psi! [Edited by steve McCulloch - 12/4/2002 12:21:21 PM] |
Im thinking of getting a few spacers made up at the same time... How many people would be interested in the front entry conversions??
I can also chop and weld your turbo if required... David |
You can count me for a start.
Top mounted intercooler.... some subaru engineer needs a good slapping for that one. :D |
How much? I might buy one in for future use (if you include a voucher for the turbo chopping to be used at a later date) :p
|
I'd defo be interested in spacers :)
Barry |
Hi,
You already know my interest in this mod.... do you have a feel for the spacer prices yet? Tony |
no no prices yet... but would expect to be less than £50. Dependant on material, thicknesses and quantity..
David |
Sounds good to me..... i'll have a chat with you hen i come up for the ECU. Hopefully this weekend :D .

DAVID,
HOW DO I GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU REGARDING TD05 TURBO.? YOU MAY GET A FEW SILLY QUESTIONS. THANKS |
email me as per profile david@wallis2000.co.uk
|
David: Something I am thinking about. What material? What thickness? Can existing studs/bolts be retained or are longer required? Is there a risk of distortion of the I/M caused by high torque spots beneath each fastener? Depending on the insulation gasket material used is there a risk of degradation in time because of the extreme heat and cooling cycles?
Despite the above I am very interested if these possible problem areas were resolved. I have an almost immediate requirement. |
Thick question time------Whats this "raising the inlet" mod all about then??????

Despite the above I am very interested if these possible problem areas were resolved. I have an almost immediate requirement. I dont claim to be clever or in the knowledge.. All i know is lower inlet charge temp... then better! AFAIK you cannot distort the inlet manifold / head by using a spacer, 2 gaskets and longer bolts... you only usually get distortion etc by head lift etc... Theres a risk of degredation with anything.. im open to suggestions for a materail.. tufenel and phenolic are mentioned so far... David |
top... and not looking worth it yet.

David
I would be interested. Paul |
David,
I might be interested in just the spacer, but for the later version phase 1 manifold, if only for the purposes of reducing conduction of heat to the inlet manifold. How thick are you thinking? |
Im hopefully getting hold of a phase 2 manifold soon...
either that or gaskets... so I can do phase 1 and two... for front entry I was thinking 20 / 25mm for insulating was thinking about 10mm.. David |
I'd be interested....but I already have some material here waiting to be cut and fitted :)
Richard |
Is this for thermal insulation or is it to give room for a large inlet pipe? What will it do for me apart from skinning my knuckles ;) ?
|
both or either... john speak to andyf and he will discuss it with you in person better than I can on here.
David |
david I have to be careful,
8 injectors will mean upper fuel rails running very close to relocated inlet pipe into turbo. Raising it 10mm could create problems for me, so I will have a look at the final build when it is done and consider if I can get away with it. Have to ask if I really need the power it might release? I suppose it does reduce chance of det marginally. |
call me stupid.. :rolleyes: -- In advance.
But im also thinking of wrapping all my inlet manifold in exhaust wrap.. and maybe the Intercooler pipes, Worth a try I suppose?? Are your Rails going to me like marks? If so I would have thought they would raise 10mm (mind you if he had checked to see if his would fit first :p) David |
I'll be fitting a pair of these when the fuel mods are being done..
http://groups.msn.com/IMPREZAWRXPhotosite/mywrxpix.msnw?Page=1 Cheers, Mark. |
David is this still a goer or was there not enuff interest - great RR results by the way
Barry |
it will be soon... not really enough interest for the hassle... so I'll enquire and then post a new thread.
David |
Anybody still interested in this?
Tony. |
Me :D :D
|
You've already done it!!!!! Btw Andy, what size spacers did you use and what diameter inlet pipe?
Tony. |
