I'm just starting to mock up the engine in the chassis and I can already see I'm just out of clearance between the top of the OEM ITR IM and the body, because of the way the IM curves up.
Ideally I would use ITB's instead, but can't at least until I have it registered, probably...
So are there any aftermarket/alternate IM's that don't come up so high? 15-20mm lower is all I'd need.
Otherwise my options as I see it would be to
a) Machine a "wedge" out of the manifold face to increase the downward angle, though this would upset the airflow and injector angles as well, not ideal
b) Make new, straighter runners between the plenum and manifold face, again probably not ideal for airflow, and alot of work, although at least injector angle would be maintained.]
Any ideas? Bearing in mind I need to keep it at least looking OEM so aftermarket ECU's and ITB would be a last resort, that will come after registration.
TIA
Alex
