h22a7 head and intake manifold - HELP

[Drax]

I've got the adapter plate on mine. It's close the the aux heating hoses, but you can just about squeeze it in.

same here, fits fine too

yea it was just the adapter plate i was wanting, but they only had the relocation kit in stock
Its arrived now so i can get to work getting this built back up and get the timing done !

only had the bloody lude a month and it blew on me

Got home from work today and opened up the kit, its good quality bit Quite dissapointed tbh, £80 and there was no gaskets and only two bolts, when 6 are needed or hose clamps
Will need to get some gasket paste onto it at work and find some bolts that fit as the kit needs longer and thicker bolts.

Apart from that the kit is great
i found a bit to bolt the kit to the bottom of the manifold which looks like the kit was made to bolt too, but It pointed the barbs to the back of the manifold and the hose was going to be quite long and messy.. so i turned it round to have them point towards TB, but only one bolt can be used this way instead of two, should be okay but was able to use as little hose as possible and a have a really clean fit when its properly fitted tomorrow.

Pics to follow

Cant wait to see, keep us posted mate.

I wonder if the relocation kit is facing the wrong way as its made for American spec ludes
Total pain in the arse

Give me a call if you need any bolts or clamps as i have enough here to build a few ludes from scratch

Hahaa


Thanks Nick, I got it all on today but I could pick your brain for you expertise if you don't mind

Noticed something when I put the injectors on, the rubber washer at the bottom make the injector sit quite high, but when removed it sits flush and seems like that is where it's meant to be. But without the rubber washer wouldn't it leak everywhere?

Some pics from today

This is how the kit is supposed to be fitted, with longer hoses of course

So I made one hose slightly longer than the other and mounted it on the one bolt location further down the manifold, it's fitted nice and secure so I'm sure it will hold

Put some instant gasket on the iacv and mounted it and then some on the other plate and it's done


Set me back a week but it's done !

Also got the air pockets taped out and put some grub screws in there



Just need to figure out this injector issue if anyone can shed some light ?

I am definately not an expert on this stuff lucas - not sure what your using but think prelude 4th gen injectors into atr fuel rail
you do need the small green sealing washers that go on the bottom of the prelude injectors - no way can you do without them - i think Drax said he enlarge the injector holes at the bottom to get the injectors to fit - this might be the same thing he is refering to but youd be best speaking to him
If the injectors and adaptor rail are all fitted correctly then there should be no up/down movement in the injectors - theyve got to be firmly held in place and properly sealed.
