ME7 inlet manifold on a 850

I wanna see someone put a webber on each cyl that would be an achievement and it would fly.

After getting home from work today started removing the standard 850 manifold and fitting the S60R inlet manifold.

2 1/2 hours later all fitted and ready for a test drive.

After taking it for a short test drive the car seems to boost quicker

Will go for a longer test tomorrow as now I could murder a beer and something to eat.

did you do anything to try & match the shape of the ports on the 850 block to that of those on the manifold?

Basically no. the manifold was fitted to see if they was a any difference in performance.

The ports on the head of the project engine is the same shape as the S60R manifold.

the later heads flow better so should notice some benefits when you swop to that as well

Been running this set up for a while now and It has made a difference.

1. Has stopped the car from back firing in 3rd,

just back fires in second

2. At 70mph on the standard manifold the "tim" boost would read a vaccum of 0.5 when lifting off the throttle but with the ME7 manifold it reads 0.75
3. the boost has increased to 1.2 bar ( not sure if this is a result of the ME7 manifold )
