im puting a hiff44 on my car and im using the metro turbo inlet. the bits where it bolts on are like twice as thick as the extractor brackets so when i tighten the bolts it only tightens the inlet manifold, what have others done to make this work???

i was thinking mayby get it milled down

You can always shave/grind the nut side down.... you can use a file or grinder or whatever... and it doesnt need to be perfect on that side either...

Rather than thin the nice thick BMC washer down (likely to bend maybe), it's better to put a blob of weld (MIG or arc) on one side of it, then grind that to get the offset right. The outside of washer needs to sit flat against the nut...

Find two other manifold washers, and cut them in half. neatly tack weld a half to a whole one to form a stepped washer you will obviously need 4 and use them. That should get you out of trouble.

On Mine, i have the town that arent the fuel inlet, routed into each-other ....
(blocks them off)

One is the return to the tank (Not needed on my setup - rising rate regulator)
The other is part of the "Lean-out" device that that leyland stuck on it....

Basically, you dont need either of them....

After reading on Turbominis.co.uk some time ago, i just joined mine together....

it held the A/F rock solid on the MRC Dyno day.... so again, doing somthing right !

(nice inlet! - got another ?)

Cheers
J
