Hey buddy that's some high hp your after, what mods do you have at the moment and what rev is your engine? I'm pritty sure if your running a rev3 you should be fine have hurd the rev2 inlet mani's are more restrictive, most peaple with rev2 opt for the rmr manifolds there highly rated and from what I have seen and read very well made etc, as for the inlet manifold you posted I wouldnt fit one if I was given one, I have seen one of theses before the build quality is very very poor and wasn't even flat and had to be skimmed as for the TB that just fell apart after a few weeks, if your running a rev3 inlet mani just keep it buddy and fit an oversized TB most fit 90mm to 95+mm hope this helps

as for the inlet manifold you posted I wouldnt fit one if I was given one, I have seen one of theses before the build quality is very very poor and wasn't even flat and had to be skimmed as for the TB that just fell apart after a few weeks

Interesting- I've searched for reviews on the KU manifolds (nothing on the TB's though) and heard some really good feedback. Just goes to show you can't believe everything you read on the net lol

Thats certainly true!

For what its worth, quite a few cars over in the US run these without complaint as far as i know. Might be worth contacting Nath @ century motorsport as he was running one of these manifolds i believe with good success.

[ashley]

Yeah- I remember reading about Nathan using one.

There was quite a lot on one of the Evo sites about them as well I seem to remember

[SFLee]

i thought there was a group buy on these either on here or us mr2oc.com,

it is copy of jun inlet, i was thinking getting one of these then locky spl one come up, so took that one instead, as far as my research went, very good weld made in thailand,

i remember some member also brought one on that group buy

may want to talk to KrisB,

Rearly i cant beleive there have been good feedback for these im unsure if the manifold i saw was ku as the guy never mentioned it was just said it was an ebay special, it rearly was horrific quality even the chrome was paper thin and peeled off and the bolt hole bearly lined up lol, well if nathen and chris ran the ku with sucess then that oviously confirms there a good product did they both run the TB as im pritty sure nathen didnt he run a ripps TB im unsure what chris was running,

I guess im just very weary of anythink off ebay as there always horror stories behind them an not usualy as dercibed.

i have searched ku engineering but they dont seem to have a website

while were on the subject does anyone no the restiction on the rev3 mani as i think andy f was running well in excess of 500+hp with uprated TB but im unsure what can be achived past this?

[Chris]

KU one is solid alloy Gav, not plated with dodgy chrome. So I suspect the dodgy ebay special is not the KU one. Nath did mention he had to have the mating face skimmed and the runners port matched. I don't know if this was down to a defective manifold, or just personal choice though.

I used a 95mm Rips GTR throttle body, and had it reversed. No worries at all. Very good bit of kit.

Reading the other thread that has been pointed out by SFlee, you cannot use a stock throttle body with the KU manifolds. it would fall in the inlet Also, the runners are not the stock ones.

Hey buddy that's some high hp your after, what mods do you have at the moment and what rev is your engine? I'm pritty sure if your running a rev3 you should be fine have hurd the rev2 inlet mani's are more restrictive, most peaple with rev2 opt for the rmr manifolds there highly rated and from what I have seen and read very well made etc, as for the inlet manifold you posted I wouldnt fit one if I was given one, I have seen one of theses before the build quality is very very poor and wasn't even flat and had to be skimmed as for the TB that just fell apart after a few weeks, if your running a rev3 inlet manifold just keep it buddy and fit an oversized TB most fit 90mm to 95+mm hope this helps

Hi there i am buying the engine out of the phoneix ex demo car,and the manifold end of this month

i do have a gt3076r but am thinking of a gt35 as that can handle more power,and sard 850cc injectors,sard fuel rail,uprated fuel pump,boot mount intercooler,but i want a inlet as i want the best for my car and not a cheap rubbish crap,ecu side am going to go solaris if that is what it is called lol

i have got lots of bits which i bought for my own build which am going to get rid of

will place an add in for sale section soon

hks 272 cams and hks pulleys
hks f-con ecu with gcc controller all for mr2
hks mushroom filter the whole kit (proper hks)

[GTS GAV]

do you no what the limets are on the rev3 inlet mani chris?

is this simon at 3s service centre i also bought some parts from si, sound like there a mighty spec on that engine, i like the sound of your plans, did you mean that your going to buy a set of 850cc injectors? as i woulod of thought they would top out well before 550 600hp, and your going to fit a boot mount or you already have one fitted, what core did you opt for, and why are you selling the 272 as i would think you would want them, i no chris and andy run standard rev3 cams with very good results. if i were in your shoes i would fit a phoenix power side feed intake manifold desighend for use with boot mounts, there was one for sale that simon was selling they dont come up often but i couldnt afford bride seats aswell lol, and i have hurd nothink but good things about the solaris now syvec i think? you sound like were both heading down the same path im also going to be swapping my gt3076 for the gt35 but im just paranoid as i have been told its pritty common to get head lift wich puts me off, so will probebly fit LP19 ARP headstuds to try and prevent this. you should start a build thread buddy

Lockys old car?

If so make sure you get the exhaust manifold!

Then get a T4 twinscroll 35r!

[SFLee]

he cant get that inlet because i have it

injector at least 1000cc+ for 600 and twin pump

the manifold locky he selling is bargain, temp me also, but my turbo is not t4 twin scroll,

if you go boot mount you may need the feed reverse rather the a u shape pipe, since ku make there own manifold, you can ask them to do it? rather get it and butcher it

you may wamt to get his twin plated os giken at bargain price also

[GTS GAV]

i think it is greeny, and damn you lee i wanted that so so badly if or when you come to sell it please contact me buddy and as said get that manifold and turbo!! if i hadnt had the wrc manifold fitted i would snap that kit up.

[mr2c8cya]

i have the ku inlet on my mr2, i had to get the flange face skimmed as was up and down like a yo-yo, and have had to cut of the throttle body flange and move it to face higher as with boost pipe on was fouling the top of cam cover, apart from that it seems to look very well built

[ashley]

If so make sure you get the exhaust manifold!

+1

Absolute bargain that

[Mr2_BadBoi]

Yes am having the engine and manifold

[ashley]

Who's doing the work for you now mate?

[Mr2_BadBoi]

not that Xxxx put it that way lol ,am going to put the engine and all the bits in myself but then mapping going to use ryan,or 2bar tuning not sure and recommendations??,just going to find someone who can do my boot mount as i want nice neat holes and want to keep carpet in aswell as i think it looks pants with carpet out of the boot lol
