Cheers for all the nice comments guys.
Yes I am going to do similar to Yanni however hopefully with a little more adjustability. If that fails im highly tempted by a UAFC Piggyback fuel management controller which is £100 from www.trigger-wheels.com.
You can call it bodgetastic all you like but do you think its any coincidence that the bodies dont need spacing to fit the manifold and their inside diameter is the same as the manifold runners?
Ed, my tracts are gonna be longer than Yannis, Ive cut the inlet manifold about 4 inches longer for a start, I wanted to keep the inlet runners as long as possible as that keeps the smooth airflow after the bodies and where they meet the manifold. I will not have space for trumpets and air filters because of how long I have left the manifold, there is only gonna be about an inch of space between the rad and the filter as it is. I dont think the tract length is more than an inch shorter than the start of the trumpets on the standard manifold.
Samass, Yes you can have it for a cup of tea at ace because of its scrap weight being ally.
As far as im concerned with this whole conversion its not really any different to fitting a 6 manifold to an XSi, the extra power comes from being able to get more air in because of the larger throttle area.
I think alot of peoples issues are due to bad fitting. Apparently a badly fitted TPS can cause alot of issues like the backfiring through the bodies.
Finally I am primarily doing it for the noise and to prove that I can, if its a little faster at the end of it ill be really happy bunny
