Inlet Manifold modification

In the engine strip note I referred to the inlet manifold needing to be modified in order to accept the GBS Plenum. You can do this yourself sand take a hacksaw to the plastic and cut away, however unless you know where to cut exactly it could prove a costly error so i err'd on the side of caution and sent the original recently dismantled manifold back to GBS for them to do the job properly with the correct equipment.

As you can see from the attached photo the freshly cut manifold loses all of its injected moulded pipework and you are left with e a nice flat face onto which the plenum will sit.

So this piece can now go back onto the engine, re-fit the injectors which simply push back in, locate onto the engine block and secure with the original fixings. Again ensure the holes are tapped over to stop debris being ingested into the engine.
