Interesting but where is/are the throttle body/bodies going to sit?
The first half of the inlet runners and injector bosses looks great.
I've finished mine but it may need a re-work
Is he making several ?
Have been taking my time doing a re-wire to accomodate the ECu to behind the scuttle
and fitting up new rad/intercooler/oilcooler

Great lil beast Dave, looks awesome without the hood and all that cooling hardware!
Maybe a clear plastic nose would be a nice touch if someone made them and are legal.
I really love seeing the innards of these cars and always thought about getting one
with all the frame painted in some kind of copper or metallic shade for cladding it
with as many see through panels or sections as possible to show its innards.

Ive mentioned your queries to this guy in that link, we shall see what he says
but prob its for a single tbi like on cosworth styled boosted manis?

Hi guys, I'm Rob from Whitleytune who is making the EFI intake for Ryan's 1000. He is welding an Evo plenum on with forward-facing throttle body. They are one-off cast so I can do anything to suit your build. Currently doing some L series manifolds and have done A15 carb manifolds for my own car. Happy to help if required.

Volodkovich great stuff and always thought myself why people dont use
the cheap chinese ebay plenums out there which are common.

Looks ace Dave nice work!

.

factory EFI manifolds. in USA the L28E manifold is very common so some guys have cut'n'shut into 4-cylinder versions

DD prob is even with boost the L series mani from factory
has some sad flow direction, just look at the no1 cylinder
flow has to more than a 90 degree turn, fine for cruising!

nother view blighme!

unfamilia, I have PMd you as to not spam up zigmondo's a15 turbo thread. The good thing about the investment casting is that they are true one-offs so can accommodate different specifications easily. It does make them more expensive than a mass produced sand-casting though.
