Rival Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 I am trying to run my own MPI set up with the stock intake manifold but what i was wondering (since my block is out of the engine) how much room is under the intake manifold? i am thinking about running my fuelrail and injectors on the underside of the manifold. thanks in advance Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted_One Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 You've got some room. There's not much under there but the starter and motor mount. Feel underneath there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rival Posted August 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 do you think that there is enough for a fuel rail? i was thinking so but i do not have anything to measure off of. i will need like 5 inches below the manifold thanks Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 you could do something like mine and run the fuel rail on the side but whatever design you go with, fuel leaks will be hard to detect. http://home.earthlink.net/~artinist/images/fuelrail.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 There should be enough room for 2-4 cylinders, but you need to check if there is room on #1 cylinder. The injector and fuel rail might interfer with part of the block where the balance shaft goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rival Posted August 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 well i hope my set up will fit, i will not get my block back until monday so i have no idea on how much room i have around there. James R...do you think yo ucould check for me and see if there would be enough room? granted taht this is being fabricated by a friend of mine i have alot of room to play with when it comes to the blueprinting of this set up, but i do wnat to get as close to the block as i can with the injectors Thanks Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiplee Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 mind if I ask why you'd like to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 In second thought, I don't think you'll have enough room for 1 thru 3 intake ports. If you keep AC there is no room for cylinder #1 due to bracket and 2 & 3 the balance shaft area is to tight. http://home.fuse.net/remo/belowmanifold1.JPG http://home.fuse.net/remo/belowmanifold3.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
