Hi Neil.
The LMS unit is definitely not suitable for boost that`s for sure.
Fortunately it`s N/A all the way with me..
Fiberglass and resin appear to be a major part of it`s construction.
Probably grafted onto a Ford flange from a donor manifold.
All very clever stuff.....
But, as ever I`ve worked out how to improve things..
I`ll be needing to port the inlet to match my Silvertop throttle body.
Also, if you look in the above pic, you can see that the trumpets are all the same length.
As the OE upper manifold has different length pipes, the LMS unit is out of balance
I`ve already looked into using the upper manifold as part of a home made plenum and have measured the difference in trumpet length I`d need to use to balance this out.
27.5mm for anyone interested.
So Im looking at 15mm and 43mm trumpets (closest off the shelf option). Those fitted are @20mm
These should work properly and fit inside the Ridley Scott set if an inlet...
I absolutely love this stuff
