farina racers ecu??

i think the Japanese equivalent of cal invented that idea. its really not a good thing to do in my opinion, but hey ho.

if its for racing purposes then its fine

what? bracing the whole movement of the engine on the inlet manifold?

i wouldnt say its good at all.

i see what you mean, for racing purposes, but its still super rough!

 

[riko666]

its in keeping with your car riko lol

Why do you think I've done it already - and do you seriously think my Coilovers came seized???

Dunc, welding it closed in place is certainly bad...worse than solid mounts as in that scenario the mounts are taking the brunt of the force...and I don't think an intake manifold was designed to restrict the motion of an engine in Extreme Loading situations...manifold must be made of Pig Iron

the stock inlet mani is alrwady braced to the engine so shouldnt crack the mani.

i dont think its a terrible idea, yes it puts extra stress on the struts but your engine mounts shouldnt be that worn, for the engine to jump excessively.

 

[dac69er]

i know its braced, but its only braced to hold the weight of the mani, not the movement of the whole engine.

any way back on topic guys

had a look at the mani today looks stock but noticed it did have a blitz cast turbo downpipe

could have a possible jam mani on it. not 100% sure though

 

[dwayne_ep82]

if it were to have a jam mani would it be stamped??

no thats the annoying thing with the jams, u wont know till it comes off which is a pain in the bum.

and it means u either take the chance that it has got one or u change it for peice of mind.

i would imagine it would have a jam mani though seeing as it was an ex track car and its got a farina racers ecu

 

[dac69er]

you can tell the difference if you put both side by side.

post a pic up of it and ill see if its like mine!
