I bought these 3 weeks ago to assist eliminating tuning and defect issues. But the problems have been fixed without fitting these parts. And now I need funds to help pay the bill.

And the manifold was new when i bought it. It is a greddy replica. I'm trying to make this obvious because the guy tried to sell it to me as a genuine item. Anyway.. I have spent about 10 hours polishing the runners in the manifold because I wasn't happy with the casting finish. I never tried to port it bigger, I just took enough off to make the surfaces smooth.

Throttle body sold

Manifold dropped SOLD

I bought these together so I didn't think of seperate prices. But since the manifold is $350, I will sell the throttle body for $250

Now dropping price to $550 for both.

Pics tomorrow maybe. I will try to borrow a camera.

;) polished inside :P

Polished internal runners cause fuel to form droplets which can result in idling issues. It is best to leave the inside of runners rough to prevent this from happening.

How can that be when the fuel is injected at the end of the runners right at the inlet face of the head. Fuel would not even touch the runners. All I have done is stop some turbulance buy removing shitty casting finishes. Had the casting been neat like the rest of the manifold I would not have cared.

Maybe it happenes with other manifolds but not this one.

    • Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.
    • Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.
    • So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.
    • I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
