Anti roll bar

I've got a feeling this might be entirely possible!

Just looking at pics of intake mani gaskets, now I'm not sure on scale, but there's the ports might line up...

Looking at the two gaskets the only problem i can see is location at the points i have marked.

more light will be shed when you get some measurements.

lol Good start... thanks ;) Still a rough idea of port spacing mind. If the ports are spaced in such a similar place, surely it would be possible to weld a GA compatible port plate onto the SR intake mani, thus losing the problem of conflicting bolts...
 
Deffo, i think welding is a better idea.

Not sure its entirely worth all the effort, but i like your enthusiasm.

Personally, Id go Full exhaust, Cams and headwork first.

Id keep the stock intake mani, and install the sr20 Throttle body.
 
It's what's available really, cheap derestriction here really.

Btw Dale, did you get JWT cams? If so, how much, how easy to fit, how suitable to N/A are they?
 
The JWT cams cost me a LOT of money, nigh on £600 to get them to my door.
I got hit big time with import duty and fees, the current exchange rate is rate is pants too.
 
Conflicting bolt holes.

You mentioned in a later thread about welding the flange to the intake manifold (to cut out the above problem), whats the manifold made of? Aliminium? if so you can't weld Steel (adapter) to Ally.

True but it's not gonna do much good if all that lovely new large amounts of air has nowhere to go...

Without a full exhaust system i can't see this being very beneficial.

This is true, like i said in an earlier post, what about doing the same with the exhaust? GTi manifold and downpipe (cheap, i will have a manifold going begging very soon) and GTi (or stainless) system.

Well I'll have a full exhaust soon... plus sooner rather than later I'm gonna get some headwork done...

Why not an alu adapter?

Yeah suppose you could use an Aluminium adapter but then there is the cost of getting it welded (as you probably know Ally welding is tricky (heating up the parts to be welded etc) thus expensive and i am thinking that when we have developed the adapter and start SELLING them i don't think it would be viable for some of the prospective customers to have this sort of welding done.

Patent?

I think this little idea has some serious legs.

hope this is of some help, sorry about how it looks lol

the 136mm measurement it between hole centres sorry, not the port edge
