S2 Air Intake

[Azman]

Hey Lads,

Been away sunning myself for a while. When I got back I poped the bonnet and just thought time for a clean up.

Anyone know where I can get an S2 air intake from and if it will fit on a 7A. Also a cam cover would be a nice addition too.

Any clues on prices would be cool!

Cheers

Are you thinking S2 intake manifold on a 7A engine? The idea had crossed my mind too in the past...

3B cam cover should fit fine, ABY will not as it has coil packs instead of the dist.

S2 Intake can be found on ebay.de or try allaudi.co.uk.

ive a spare 7a cam cover or do you want a 3b cover but why!!!!!!!!

I dont think that fitting S2 Intake manifold on 7A engine would be good idea. Mainly because normaly aspirated engines need long intake runners other wise they would have very poor torque curve. On forced induction engines that does not matter that much since air is forced into engine, whats important there is equal pressure and volume to each cylinder.
S2 intake is short and i think that it would reduce torque significantly on 7A engine.

Just bite the bullet and stick the S2 lump in

I agree, read my signature

Sorry boys I'm not going to change the lump.

But there is an Eaton M62 Supercharger on the way (when I find a good one), hence changing of the intake manifold and cover to allow a little more room for pipe work.

Any comments on this please fire in my direction.

I like the idea. Not as much horsepower as a turbo, but maybe in the long run less troublesome. I will be watching your progress. Hopefully you will take some pictures. Will you be using an intercooler? Keeping the header or going to the later cast manifold? Idea which side you will mount the supercharger?

Which engine management will you be using?

Which engine management will you be using?

Stock Hitachi management is good enough for the charger.

You will need bigger injectors, so that is another good reason to use an S2 inlet manifold - you can use S2 injectors - plenty of those going around.

You will need to reduce compression if you want to run more than 0.2 bar. A copper HG is a cheap way to do this.

hmm.. might be interested if the price is right, and you are willing to send to norway (mine seems to be leaking from odd places..)

Doug, I have been told by someone who supercharged their 2.8 V6 that they needed a piggyback ecu are you sure just a retune of the stock management will be capable of handling it? It will save me a bit of money so I can spend it else where.

I have seen the gasket from the states which will reduce compression down to 9.3:1 which should give me a fair whack.

Anyone know where I can get my hands on some S2 injectors.

90, I will be running an intercooler once I find one. I think I am going to have to change the front bumper to give me a tad more room to play with for all of this though.

The charger will be mounted on the left hand side (standing at front/ infront of driver)

Doing all the calculations is being handled by the man who did his V6 superstar that he is.

Any other advice you guys could kick my way would be great.

Just so you know aim is around 300BHP.
