Hi, can anyone tell me if the Grale inlet manifold is a worthwhile upgrade for the coupe 16t? upgrading my injectors so would be the sensible time to do it. Any input much appreciated

there is a thread somewhere (last Sept-Nov) I did a before and after RR and it looks like it's around 15-20bhp worth of a mod, not bad [that was with max road C&B cams, headwork, larger turbo, etc] V.

-the manifold is 2.5kg lighter than original -shorter pipes also good for higher power in high rpm -also the throttlebody section is better shape, theres larger hole. ( original is 62mm x 46mm ) grale has around 62mm x 62mm, at least my one is.

so, when talking about % ... original throttlebody 56mm hole ; 5,6x 5,6 = 31,36 now the original manifold hole ; 6,2 x 4,6= 28,52 so theres 9% loss ! and grale manifold hole ; 6,2 x 6,2= 38,44 thats 34,7 % more, than original. and 22,5 % more, than throttlebody

Thanks for all the info and advice once again.I have a Grale manifold and throttle body but was hoping to fit an Alfa 164 3 litre throttle body which I believe is larger again but may require some machining to fit.I have a good tuner friend so hopefully the relocation/customising involved won't be to much hassle for him.But then again it is a coupe!
