Inlet Manifold

I have choosen to use a rover turbo inlet manifold for a few reasons the main one being as i'm gonna use cosworth management it allows me to fit top feed injectors into it with out any mods you can also fit frst injectors in to this manifold. Also i got this off a rover breakers for £10.50 off Ebay could not belive it when i won the auction.
Cheap at half the price.










If you use a zetec inlet you have to use a fiesta rst/xr2i fuel rail as the normal zetec injectors are side feed (finding high flow side injectors can be tricky i read some where you can use nissan ones but finding a chip to suit is nearly almost impossible) the fuel rail will have to modified to fit the zetec inlet as the fixings are in different places.







The other advantage for using the rover inlet is that you don't need a charge carrier over the cam cover so no need to mod the cam cover to allow the charge carrier to bolt to it. with the charge carrier going over the cam cover your charge temperature will be slightly higher due to it being over the engine. And the engine producing heat.





And the final reason is the inlet port is the same size as a cosworth throttle body and the studs line up as well so the cosworth throttle body is a bolt on fit.....easy.






My throttle body in these pictures is stripped it has no idle speed control valve(iscv) throttle position sensor(tps) or throttle linkage will post picture when re built.

In order to fit the inlet manifold to a zetec head you need to buy an adaptor plate which will coast you about £100 from Ferriday Engineering (www.ferriday.co.uk).
