Greetings,
I'm still working toward
the Rev-B cowling, and one of the projects involves a new intake that will fit
under the cowl. Actually, that's one of the requirements, with the other
two being that it must allow for 4 matched injectors, and must allow the stock
turbo to mount without spacers. EDDIE is not a requirement at the moment,
since I'm still using the brute force method of induction, but I'll make sure
the manifold can be adapted later if needed.
I just ordered a new
throttle body from TWM, which has 4 injector pockets, so that covers that
problem. It also brings up the question- what's the best way to
plug the stock injector holes? Remember, this is a complete engine,
so let's keep the drilling and grinding options to a minimum. I was
thinking of those old rubber freeze plugs, where you tighten a center bolt
to expand the thing. I wonder if those are made small enough?
Also realize that I'm under boost, so the turbo will be trying to shoot these
plugs out of there. Any other ideas?
As for the intake
itself, the wrapover manifold that I have is too wide to allow the turbo
without spacers, so it's out. I believe someone said that PL's lower
intake casting would fit with a turbo ??? I've been hoping that
Paul would get his Mazdatrix manifold, so we could measure it, but that's still
"on the way". I did call Mazdatrix, and found out that they had "no
idea" whether it would work with the turbo, so I guess we'll just have to wait
and see. Does anyone know of a compact intake that will work with the
turbo, aside from the stock intake, which is of course another
option?
Thanks,
Rusty
