machineit Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Hi, I recently have been making some changes to the intake of a carbureted model and was wondering if anyone has tried this. I made 1" adapter plates that attach to the head and intake, as well as a thermostat housing so I can get the hot water away from the air chamber. What started this was changing out the Hitachi carburetor. I'm not trying to gain HP or torque, I'm just sure it will increase full economy. At least that is what I'm going for. I'm wondering if it has been done and had these results. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Somewhere I've seen it done. But not that way. The intake was replaced with 2 piece assembly - I believe to deal with the expansion difference between the entire block at operating temperature and the now cool manifold.

ferp420 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 i think ram engines makes them or used to there for the ea81 but should work just fine for a ea82 i made my own but i dident seperate the coolant though i did block off the coolant flow the throtle body i also added a spacer under my throtle body but i also have a 3" body lift so i have the room to play under the hood i think it adds a good amount of power and torque but i did alot of other mods when i my spacers so who knows ware the power came from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
