Perfected and finished - Inlet manifolds

[BenR]

Wheres the workshop.

Kimbolton Cambs, just north of bedford a few miles.

 

[7MAT]

Which road cars did it come on?

Or is that somewhat random?

Trophy's have the RS inlet.

 

[Dan_cup]

how can you tell if you if you have the RS inlet on? or can you not.

 

[welsh172]

Ben - ive emailed you to ask about an inlet for me but dont know if you have had the emails?

 

[Mike-bham]

Will be quite tempted by this soon, what's this "other" thing all about though lol?

 

[BenR]

It has a big fat 'RS' cast into the lower part at the front, just under the fuel rail.

Ben - ive emailed you to ask about an inlet for me but dont know if you have had the emails?

I havent got home yet, i do all emails at home as they distract me from work during the day.

But i will answer them all.

Just a little someting else that is just over the hill.

 

[davejm123]

ooooooh i got an RS one!

 

[BenR]

did you run out to check?

 

[davejm123]

lol no, just noticed it before! does that mean it goes a zillion million miles faster?

 

[Graham Gooch]

Mitutoyo vernier...... nice

 

[MRBILLYUK]

ooooooh i got an RS one!

Yay ! Me too But its in my bedroom not on my car yet , lol .

Cool as I'll be in touch soon Ben to get mine done.

Thats the old dog, got a 30th anniversary certified uber accurate and coolant proof one with matching 1" mic and ceramic slips....its a bit posh lol.

its not a better alternative to your inlet mod?
just don't wanna get this mod then you bring out a better one to replace it lol

 

[BenR]

Its a different sort of solution and in a totally different price bracket, so i doubt it.

I got one of these babies fitted to my car yesterday after going down to Angelworks. The modified areas are very smooth to touch and you can see the quality in Ben’s work and the tolerances he works to. Both parts of the inlet were steam cleaned and looked brand new once on the car. Once fitted and on the road I could feel the difference and it wasn’t just placebo. Thanx again Ben for your help.

My 53 plate 172 had an RS manifold, but was exchanged when I had a reworked one fitted by Hillpower. Can't say I noticed a massive amount of difference tbh.

 

[BenR]

The RS manifolds when modified only touch up about 50% as much as a normal port since they are considerably larger than the non RS manifolds.

No problem, hope everything works out for you.

Hot wash, not steam cleaner lol ;P

Just so people dont think i hover outside with a steam cleaner haha.

 

[timdog]

So you don't work down the local car wash anymore then Ben?

 

[howie p]

can someone who has the RS manifold take of picture of where the 'RS' is?

 

[MRBILLYUK]

 

[rich[182]]

If you have the RS one, is it still worth having this work done ? Even if less so ?

 

[MRBILLYUK]

From what Ben says , yeah , just the RS manifold has less material to remove .

 

[Tyson-182]

^^ So in essence, less gains to be had than a normal "non RS" manifold??

Ben i want to have this done, you're bloody miles away though! Manchester to Bedford...ouch! Can you service while i'm down? Lol.

Tys.

Yea, service can be carried out at the same time and it cuts down on labour costs as a bonus since it makes it easier to get to the oil filter.

 

[Gaz_]

mine had, and still has the rs manifold


mmmmmmmm,

 

[jimbo666]

im picking mine up from Ben tomorrow, cant wait!!

 

[jimbo666]

bloody forum, finally caught me out

 

[MCG]

BenR, do you do custom remaps? If so and I traveled down there, how much would you charge for a 24,000 mile service, a re-worked inlet manifold and a custom map?

 

[bradfincham]

good work ben!

 

[Tyson-182]

I'm about 3k miles off 36,000, so i'll arrange to get this done in a month or two. Ben how much notice do you need?

Also, costings for 36k service and inlet work doing?

Tys.

 

[BenR]

A weeks notice is nice.

I'll PM you pricing.

 

[rory182]

good bit of engineering, CAD, computational fluid dynamics eh I'm impressed!

looks good and seems very good value.

 

[BenR]

Tyson, your PM box is full.

 

[Tyson-182]

^^ Just noticed and emptied Ben, can you re-send?

Thanks! Tys.

 

[BenR]

sent

Tys.

It's a piece of pish to get to Ben's, takes me about 2 hours to get there... done it in an hour and a half before. End of the M6 then onto the A14 for a bit and your there. I have a route if you want it PM me.
