S4 and S5 intakes, problems and solutions. Bolting an S3 lower to an S4/5 upper is a no-dice as the bolt patterns seem to be off though the ports appear to line up, has anyone modified either the upper or the S3 lower to allow for a mating? Bolting an S4/5 lower & upper to an S3 block is do able but there is one issue and one possible problem. 1. Does the emissions port for the center iron correctly align with that of an S4/5 intake? looking at the Mazdatrix catalog with the intake gaskets next to eachother they look correct but this also introduced #2. 2. S3 primary ports seem to be a bit [ok alot] smaller than S4/5 this would cause for an uneven transition from manifold to port. Has anyone actually looked into solving this issue possibly by way of filling the manifold with something viable and sanding/shaping it to correctly match or is it usually left alone. Reason this even came up is my buddy has a few S4 manifolds and I could possibly get an S5 manfiold for a heavily discounted price of zero dollars thus solving a nearly $500 investment in a throttle body, granted I know the S4/5 manifolds probably won't lend themselves to top end as well as something like the DCOE/IDA/Holley Throttle Bodies but $500 buys lot of other parts I need outside of this fuel injection setup. Lower Manifold Section 76-85 12A * Part Number: 18111 Price: $190.00 http://www.racingbeat.com/RX7-1975-1...ake/18111.html A couple guys have built custom intakes (a plate and tubes, essentially) to adapt the 4 throttle bodies from modern sport bikes. |

hot rodders put injectors in fake carbs, basically except for having something that has the same size and bolt pattern you could really use any throttle body.

I'll update as it progresses as I still really want to pursue re-injecting the FB....hopefully I can complete it before life tells me I can't (possibly joining the Navy for a few years). |
I have some twm 50mm's and their ok so far.
I run 4 injectors on mine, would have been nice to just use 2 for less complexity but it works. Having the injectors mounted up high on the TB instead of the engine location should give your intake manifold and intake charge a cooling effect. |
for the jenvey doen here in miami, this guy called mack webiste is emeraldperformance.com
great guy and very knowledgeable. |
