Refurbished ATR Inlet Manifold
Well how's about that?! I finally got around to finishing the throttle body port matching. And after a good dunking in Gunk engineer cleaner, the inlet manifold was looking a little cleaner...
The runners are still a little stained, but that's all it is...
The exterior was still a little scabby, but that wasn't to matter. I masked it up...
And then hung it in my spray booth...
Gave it a couple coats of etch primer...
Followed by a couple coats of gun metal grey...
And then I kitted it up
...
I've even done a few other things in the car to work towards trying to potentially get this thing fired up again after 3 years, to check the custom loom works
The manifold was obviously crutial to this, so I just need to source a few of the blanking screws to delete the various ports I'm no longer using and we'll see what happens

Re: Nathan's Road-Legal/Track BB4: A life Story
Nah, it'll be fine. I've removed all of the gumph from the firewall so I've got room for manoevre.4thgenphil wrote:you AIT sensor is going to be awfuly close to the fire wall IIRC
so what size is the TB?
It's 74mm tapering down to 68mm.

I'll eventually get around to doing similar to what you've done in your engine bay (Which was the whole purpose of me parking her up.) But that'll all have to wait for the next chassis now
