heres how the complete rover m16 inlet manifold looks



rover fuel rail modified by drilling and tapping 2 new holes to allow fitment of the fiesta turbo fuel pressure regulator



the old throttle body on the end of the rover plenum was cut off as in the below pic



idle speed control valve was fitted by drilling and tapping the necessary holes to allow it to screw onto the plenum, a spacer plate was needed to prevent the sensor plug fouling the plenum. a flange to suit the fiesta turbo throttle body was made, and welded onto the end of the open rover plenum chamber



rather than use an adaptor plate i cut the flange that bolts to the cylinder head off the rover inlet



and also cut the flange from a zetec manifold



then welded the two together, the injector ports needed a small amount of weld build up and then have it ground out inside the port





this face was the milled flat at work, this was necessary because when it was welded the flange wasnt bolted down to something solid so it warped and was no longer flat



heres the finished face, all nice and perfectly flat and smooth, it may not look it in the pic but it is 100% true



the finished manifold with all the ancillary's bolted on looks like this

FRST blues? Don't tell me you're going to do all that then limit yourself to 160bhp Benjamin?

no theyre just in ther cos i dont have any other injectors yet

good work mate
could do with some measurements if you can get them or if you know anyone that can get them

measurements needed are the green lines

[alti]

looks very good
fine work!

but whats the main reasen that do you use the
rover manifold?
flow the stock zetec manifold so bad?


thanks alti

[Red16]

but whats the main reasen that do you use the
rover manifold?

because the rover manifold does not use a crossover pipe

[Red16]

the measurements between the ports are measured from the zetec flange, as i can no longer measure the rover manifold as the zetec flange is welded on, strange how the distance on the right hand side of the pic is smaller than the other two measurements.

and the height i had to guess at between 30 and 35mm as its also hidden away behind the zetec flange.

hope this helps

[FezzR]

thanks mate that helps loads
its probably too good for what i need but hey worth keeping in mind

[Red16]

no worries what you planning ?

[FezzR]

have a 1.3HCS turbo on the go (very slow go) as i thought manifolds are proving to be a bit of... well im sure you can guess

[Red16]

yeah, know what you mean
