Intake Manifolds...

[careysd]

For those that have done a fuel injection swap, are you happy with the manifold choice, or would you change it knowing what you know now?

What if originality was not a factor?

Go with the original log runners as the later Motronic intake is simply UGLY.

Logs...don't they flow better anyway??

 

[careysd]

I agree with you guys, the log is much more aesthetically pleasing. I have decided on going this route with the 4 cyl runners. Now to decide if I am going with the adapter clips or different injectors.

Ummm- you can buy re-built injectors that fit for the same $$$ that the adapter clips cost WITHOUT any injectors.

That's where I am having the hard time deciding. I already have a low mileage set of Gen III injectors. Does the spray pattern make any noticeable driveability difference?

just finished a Sahara coupe 2 weeks ago with the early injectors - ported, polished, schrick cam and Motronic 1.3.

A nasty little bitch of an engine- waiting for a thousand break-in miles do see how much fun it can be............ one of the big differences is in how fast this engine spins up- very, very quick. Probably not a good engine for a real light flywheel. Very decent low end torque but you get the idea that the real fun will be at 3500+ rpm and it will come on hard.
Very good idle-

Remember that the b35 injectors have a straight stream and not a spray per se.
