FC to FD Intake Adapter

[Grizzly]

Your right it is.

I got most of my Info on this sort of thing from Alf Jhonson (Soul Assasin) if you remember him.

He did use adapt a S5 lower but you want to ask him how much work went into it.

I still belive that a S5 lower with a S6 upper canot be port matched to a S6 gasket.

If you return to Mike L\'s thread have a look how Blue T2 did his. If i remember correctly Mike L bought Alf\'s Lower and uper when he parted his car.

in the second pic there isnt a plate between the manifold .. Soul Assassin\'s engine is sooo nice.. im going to have to look at his video clips again- that FC is very nice:yes :god :yes

[Grizzly]

O yeh, Running 520rwhp on a half bridge T2. Only in Japan!!!!!!

He must have been gutted when his Tour was up.

yes the red t2 was parted out but hes back and building another beast already..

[Grizzly]

Yeh, Last i heard he sold up and was buying a Big 4X4. Guess he got board.

Is he building a T2 or an FD? I wounder if hes getting backed again? maybe getting back in with Joule or HPI?

Sounds good, somthing to look forward to!:D

Anyway i\'m having a Knightmare myself at the moment, I\'ve just put my new engine in and got rid of the Emition crap. I had the bright idea of getting it running on the Stock EMS before fitting the New one. But for the life of me i can\'t get the thing to run, Its started to bug me so i\'ve come in for some food and a chill out. :rolleyes:

For those of you who are have not come across Alf\'s car

Unfortunatly this car was broken up a year or so ago when Alf returned from his Tour in the US Air force in Japan.

Am i reading the thread right, 520rwhp with the set up mentioned in the link.!!!

Thats awesome. Do you know how much psi he was pushing through.

[Grizzly]

Don\'t hold me to this but i belive it was around 26-28psi.

Alf\'s car was built by a place called Joule in Japan as a show car, towards the end it had a T51kia fitted and some other goodies but i don\'t think he ever got it running to its full capabilities.

Belive me when i say this if Alf builds another Rx7 it will be Stupidly powerfull!! he has alot of contacts in Japan.

Whats the benefit having the FD intake adapter fittin to FC??
know it sounds bit stupid....:rollin

[jetpilot]

From my limited knowledge on the subject, i dont think there is a lot of difference in performance, except the FD has smaller (i think) primary runners and you also get to run the FD throttle body which is better. I am not sure the gains will be massive but just a gnereal help for want of a better explanation. I am sure someone can go into more detail.

[Grizzly]

Well the FD uper has no plenum (Spelling) that hellps reduce the effects of say a half bridge on idle, it has equal lenth runners,The throttles are 1x45 and 2x50 not 1x50 and 2x45, it looks better when your running a FMIC or v-mount as well.

The size of the primarys have not got alot to do with it becouse if you examine the Uper carfully you will see the primary runners get smaller as it meets the lower manifold. But saying that the secondrys dont.
