NON Turbo M3 intake manifold

[LittleredMPS]

If you go the way of the cosworth manifold, have a look at mazdaspeed forums.

I know there is at least one bloke over there that has made an adaptor plate for the cosworth manifold to address the misplaced bolt location and also I think a vacuum port that isnt used in the mazda throttle body.

The adaptor plate is also dirt cheap from memory and fully engineered.

As far as the Weapon R manifold goes, from what I have read on other forums not my own experience, it is a bit suspect in build quality, though alot cheaper than the cosworth.

If you are staying NA it would probably be fine, but have heard stories of the plenum letting go in boosted applications.

Also with either of these manifolds you would be advised to tune your car when they are fitted. From memory the ecu has alot of trouble getting mixtures right in its standard form, as the air flow rate is beyond ecu parameters. Feel free to correct me on that one though.

im having trouble finding it do you remember where it is?

[MattMPS3]

thats something i didnt think of ...ill see if i can find one to look at.

More than welcome to do a quick comparison with mine if that helps Andy, shoot me a pm and well arrange a time to meet up.

I reakon you would be better off using the MPS manifold like MattMPS3 suggests, makes more sense to me

Be heaps better than that ABS plasic one anyday

Great mod man!
I ve had my eye on the same cosworth mani for some time now and its good to see that some one has done it!
Are you 2.0 or 2.3 duratec?
Have you also set the ECU? Whats the outcome of all of this? Did you get what you went for out on the road?
Where did you order the mani from and how much did it cost you?
Do you have a dyno-graph?

Are the Cossi manifolds still crazy expensive?? This would be a great mod but as per usual with out great little NA cars...big bucks = small gains.
