3sge intake on st165

its a good upgrade I am doing this too

 

could we make a picture of this so I also know what you mean?

As I have 3sge and will swap to Te

 

taking the 3sgte central inlet manifold off, and instead using the side feed 3sge manifold. they both bolt up same, but imo the flow and plumbing for a FMIC is much better using the side feed rather than the top feed.
Evos, cosworths, all use side feed rather than top feed.

 

That is very interesting, how is this a upgrade? It seem the 3sgte intake mani will deliever the air more evenly.

 

use coldstart sa water injector, like st205 does...

but. how many times u must crank in the morning at -15 °c to start your engine
mafix ))))))))))))))))

 

Are you saying it uses a similar set up like the st205?

 

the major advantage is for colder, shorter and strighter intake piping as you dont have to have the pipe running over the turbo manifold or have massive bends and longer route to avoid the manifold.
as rish also said bigger inlet and better flowing. Im not sure about the 165 gte's but on the 185s for sure i kno it is sposes to greatly improve flow rate between cylinders.

plus IMO looks a shit load better

 

The main advantage I think is the fact that the intake for the cylinders is not drawn over the top of the engine, no 3 cylinder on our cars with the stock set up is prone to runing hotter. In fact my map at present, give a fraction more fuel in this to combat the effect. With the side feed, the air has a much better route from the turbo and intercooler and the dynamics of the side air box mean a more efficient way to split and spread the air into each port.
Most turbo cars run side feed manifolds, cosworths, Evos etc, it was a design for packaging, once toyota decided to go with the top mounted charge cooler etc, that saw the use of a top feed system.
The 205 WRC came with fittings for WI, but that was not activated for road use. I junked my cold start inj once I got the ECU, imo it does very little in the uKs climate.

 

Interesting how about using the intake mani of the beams engine?

 

not a bolt up, completely different head

 

Ic I was just wondering cause is the same family but the beams seem to be its own family. WHICH SUCKS BALLS cause dual vvti or even vvti will do good, alot of good.

 

I have nothing against tvis is just I don't feel it like a vvti or vvtli pull
