Yea I'd love too, but in all honesty the coins are running low, and I still need to build the box! Haha I warn people not to take anything like this on unless you have a spare 15-20k growing on a tree out the back or something, I wish I listened to people when they told me that!I'm approaching the 10k mark with probably another 8 to go and the tailshaft back is all still stock! Pushing on anyway Appreciate it mate, I'm sure I'll have some more questions soon enough... I still have all that stuff for you when you get your MPVI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you manage to work out the opening and closing points of the intake and exhaust on those cams.I was going to get a carbon fibre driveshaft. I looked under my FG with the Manta twin 3" and there aint no way a single piece driveshaft is gonna have room. I guess the routing of the V8 exhaust is somewhat different. The Nizpro exh may have some room there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming they have it made right, we will soon see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppy_t92 Silver Donating Members 748 Member For: 11y 7m 26d Gender: Male Location: Liverpool Posted 31/03/15 08:00 PM Author Share Posted 31/03/15 08:00 PM Yes and no Captain, generally speaking a bigger volume port will be better, but the intake runners will be the governing factor, there's no point having a big port with a small intake runner, otherwise the air speed will slow dramatically as it enters the head, where as keep everything consistent with a taper on the entrance of the intake runner you will create the ram effect as you said... So we have worked out the the cross sectional area of the intake manifold runners and kept everything at 2.65".... So it goes from the plenum to an opening of 6.2" tapering down to 2.65" all the way to the valves...I did think about it but had already bought the Ferrea valves and locks to suit ($900)... So I'll definitely do that in the next one haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
