Intake Manifold Design

Here's something I'm cooking up for the Webers from the previous post. What do you guys think?


I've not decided on the length of the runners yet, but I know it isn't supposed to be too long. Might tilt the runners upwards a few degrees. We'll see in due time.

On another note, getting an aftermarket 4-1 exhaust manifold made which should arrive this Friday or Saturday. I doubt it'll benefit from a performance point of view, but it should look a lot better than a rusted and weathered factory standard exhaust manifold eh?

DCOE Top 40

My my my, has it been a very long while.

After much swearing and shouting matches (not to mention money NOT well spent). the project has been resurrected, for lack of better words.

To get the rest of you up to speed, the cortina has been lying dormant on my cold, hard and weathered cement patio for the past 6 months or so getting fired up to make sure the ol' heart still beats with the occasional reverse and 1st gear drives to make sure the differential hasn't locked itself into a no-wheel drive vehicle.

Why have I gone back to throwing money at this car again you may ask? Well, it's not the fact that a lot of money has already been burnt here but about a month ago I fired it up and took it for a spin and realized that if I didn't complete what I'd started almost 3 years ago, I would have not failed my grand dad (who's still alive btw albeit funky in the head) but failed myself.

Enough blabber as this isn't some fucking high-school reunion where get all emotional and what not, it's time to be a man and do the right thing which is to give the car the grunt that it deserves.

Say hello to my DCOE 40s. :)












Next thing to get done is to get a manifold made for it as I currently have the Proton Iswara manifold (any takers?). More engineering work to be done, among other things still pending.

Hopefully I can get this car up and running to get it into the next autocross just for the heck of it. Running with cut springs (another story all together, which will be posted at a later date) and wide wheels, I guess I'll be thrown into the open class AGAIN. :)
