Wagner intake manifold questions

[Pat D]

I'm waiting for mine to arrive in the mail, in the meantime there are a few things that I'm not sure of.

Does the stock fuel rail bolt up? I will be using EV14's. Would it be beneficial to go with an after market fuel rail?

Is there a suitable throttle cable availble that doesn't require mods for right hand drive S2's? I think there is a thread somewhere about a cable but it still required some tweaking to fit.

time for some searches, Pat.....I'm sure these questions have been answered before

the throttle cable is the main reason why I've stuck with a stock inlet....oh and not having that sort of "spare" cash!!...

[Henkjan]

yes, standard fuel rail will fit nicely

hate to say it but search, this is a sticky thread by me http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35310
Eh europeanme? the throttle cable is a piece of p*ss, get it extend local,ly or use the sleeve insert, see post 58 of the above thread

I'm waiting for mine to arrive in the mail.

Lucky man when I placed my order there was 30 in stock. Payed the money and then Mark had to give me the bad news that there was a error with the computer stocking system. So I have to wait another 4 weeks for a new batch to arrive..

I'm also running EV14's after advice from Jamo

I rang Carsten up with a few questions and he said they're on backorder, so a few weeks from now. I'm in no rush since my bottom end is still being frankensteined

Cheers for the links guys. On another note, I couldn't find any info on fuel rails. I understand that factory rail fits on the Wagner manifold, but would it be wise to upgrade to an aftermarket type if aiming for 700-800hp?

I'm away at work and haven't had a chance to look at the factory rail to compare. I'm guessing apart from having the option for various sized a/n fittings, they would have a larger internal bore to perhaps increase flow capacity?

[Jamo]

The only reason to change the fuel rail is if you are going to run an aftermarket FPR which if you are aiming for 700-800 you WILL need to do, so yes change it

[Pat D]

I thought the factory pressure was 4 bar? I can't remember, might be 3, but I'm sure there are different fixed pressure regulators that fit the factory rail? Was this the reason for mentioning changing to an aftermarket regulator?
The only thing I want to add is an electric pressure sender so I can mount an internal pressure gauge.

Please elaborate.

BTDT with stock FPR stock rail at 700hp.

So? He's bought a dual 044 fuel pump setup if you read his thread if hes going through this expense he should do it properly

tbh jamo it was more the cash than anything else but after talking to a few people that have BTDT it just put the idea to rest for me....

Not arguing that, but one 044 will make 700+ with relay (but not 800), and for one 044 you do not need to change the fuel rail or the fuel lines.

You said for "700-800" you have to change the fuel rail. I say you don't for 700.
For 800 you need to not only change the rail, you need dual pumps, surge tank and bigger fuel lines.

we just got 30 from our Casting Factory. Looks like we have them coated till tuesday and then machined... so 2 more weeks aprox...

[GazzaG60]

its a good manifold.

rail fits,
other bits fit.

needed is extension to throttle cable. i used some cisco rack brackets to remount the cable
wiring extensions needed.

cruise not a direct fit.

its not really hassle tbh. costs is always a factor thats understood.

to give the solution its due id save my pennies for the lot. IC x member, inlet, pipes, exhaust manifold. tbh no point having this without the rest of the "power hike" bits

wagner products really deserve to be appropriately matched up.

Any approximate date when these will reach Mark in the UK?
