Yeah good bit of kit tbh. What you wanting to know? @JKING3008

Hi bud
Wondering how much of a gain you will get on a N/A engine as it says most suited to an engine with ITB's. Mine has the high lift cams and ported/polished inlet but not the ITB's.
How easy is it to have fitted, as it also says will need to modify the exhaust?
Many thanks!

Could be wrong but I thought you couldn't run one of these with standard manifold as there physically isn't enough room?

Does look like a lovely piece of kit though

This is from Pures web site,
The manifold cannot be fitted with the standard inlet manifold as the primary pipes come over the rear of the engine so that we could get the required length into the engine bay. You will have to have individual throttle bodies.

Thats right.
I do have another good friend @gambit who has this with the standard manifold , you do however have to angle grind the intake manifold coil pack holder off for it to fit. Another option is to buy an SM Inlet.

I love this manifold peace of art for the car..
Does surprise me on the price though but i suppose you pay for the best!

For the time being i'll be sticking with a 182 mani on my 172 cup

I'd buy one just for the sound

That looks the nuts

 

[Coops Mk1]

love it, but fair whack of cash and not sure if I could get it to fit the Mk1 or not tbh

Would never pass between the bulk head and subframe on a mk1 i don't think. Isnt the 172 manifold a tight squeeze with a 1*2 engine in?

 

[NorthloopCup]

Well if we are photo whorring, here's mine on the old engine

@Chambers_RS you have to hack the coil pack mount off the inlet for a mk1 f4r conversion from memory.

Any benefit from running the 197 inlet and how much work was it to do so?

You need to combine it with a lot of other expensive stuff to see the true benefits. Fitting it requires the use of a 197 head as well, and this needs a small amount of work to suit the 1*2 block.

That engine build in my pic made 230hp. Combine the right bits and that's the end result.

And no ITBs or turbo!

Such a beautiful engine build

 

[Coops Mk1]

It's not too bad for clearance tbh, think it'd make that but I reckon clearance behind engine to bulkhead would be an issue.

Do you mean fitted the PMS manifold with the standard inlet? Any pics? Where did he mount the coil pack?

 

[gambit]

Yes I have attempted it and it's still a work in progress but at present there is not enough clearance between the rear of manifold and the headers unfortunately , it may in the end still only be possible with ITBs, RS2 or SM inlet type manifold.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

You can still take a picture of a work in progress

Holly sh^t thats stunning as engine bays go.. bet that must been a pretty penny too!!
What sort of power are you running in it?

I'd love mine to look like this just my pockets arent deep enough sadly lol

made some awesome power with yours, i wouldn't even think to seeing if 197 head and air box would work.. some dedication there
what carbon box are you using just out of interest

Thanks! It's a R3 maxi evo Carbon airbox mate. A copy though!! The Renaultsport item is way over 1k!!
