RX4 BridgePort Turbo

[Grant Monkhouse]

What LIM (inlet manifold) are you using? can you use the FD Manifolds upper and lower and port them to suit your FC plates?

the LIM is a simpply maz unit which goes up 2x 55mm(i think) independant TB\'s, each TB has 2x injectors in it.
 
they are normally used on NA rotaries but this has a top collector to fit it for turbo use.
 
it was something Carl had and asked if i wanted to use it rather than an FD or FC manifold, it should be interesting to see what effect it has on rpm HP and Torque.
 
it think it will look good and be different from the usual route.

check out page 8 blitz, post 184 for better pics of the LIM

ahhh I see hence why the exhaust manifold with the turbo fouls the LIM, as the LIM was not designed to have a turbo so close to it.

Yeah I like different will five the engine bay a different look

You can only fit an FC inlet manifold to an FC engine which essentailly this is, the FD one does not fit or line up.

its no biggie for the turbo manifold to be altered, have just ordered a proper sized T4 flange so the manifold exit matches the turbo entry.
 
i just have to rotate the top edge of the flange closest to the LIM so it brings it away from the LIM, but i need to make sure i dont rotate it too far and then the turbo toughes the suspension tower.

i didnt know that, are the mounting holes different for a LIM on an FD and an FC?
 
isnt there an adapter so you could use an FC LIM and FD UIM?

[Grant Monkhouse]

Flange removed,

 
the new one will hopefully be here by monday, so can drop the engine in and check clearence for positioning of the new flange.
 
i have used flange way too much, i think i need to go have a sit down

Yes we have done adpaters for the upper FD manifold conversion to FC lower lots of times.
The bolt pattern of the lower inlet manifolds and placement of the inlet ports are different in FC and FD\'s and not interchangeable.

ah you see learn something new everyday:D:Thumbs-up
 
whilst your here Carl, any luck on the other engine mount and an ignition harness?

Got the mounts.:Giggle

Got the mounts.:Giggle

Great news:Thumbsup!

[Grant Monkhouse]

Started off with 2 sumps


Did this, on left is FC sump on right is from FD sump

Grant, looking forward to seeing your car mate. Keep up the good work.

Cheers

I will get up finished product once it\'s painted and on the engine with my mounts.

Ordered this new T4 stainless flange yesterday. Came this morning!!! Fastest delivery ever!
