Re: modding a TR intake

I modified a TP plenum with a TR throttle body plate as the throttle bodies are different size.

With the TP inlet you will need the inlet manifold, plenum and fuel rail. you can use TR/S everything else.

Re: modding a TR intake

good luck with cutting any out of the inlet runners, pretty sure they are tapered all the way through and different angle's etc...

Any GA-GD Galant will not fit a TR/S inlet manifold between the head and strut tower without extensive modifications. just keep hunting for a TN/P one..

Re: EFI..........Magna TR inlet question.

I am assuming the head he is mocking it up on is what he will be installing in the car.. so much easier to bolt the inlet manifold to the head and drop it in as one.. than dicking around trying to get to the bolts under the manifold.

Re: EFI..........Magna TR inlet question.

Just did a quick measurement, I don't see why you cannot fit the TR/S INLET manifold in with no modification what so ever. From the inlet port (where it bolts to head) to the furthest away point (where the plenum bolts too) is only 30.5cm, Head to strut tower is 32.0cm. (yes, this was measured in a ...

Re: EFI..........Magna TR inlet question.

you can actually clean a fair bit of the one I have (and now Jason has) up on the outside as you can see the weld has penetrated all the way through to the other side if you looked in the runners on the plenum before it was bolted on.

Re: EFI..........Magna TR inlet question.

Never moved mine before, just always left them at the back.. not that hard to run some pipe from the back. Just watch clearance issues with the dizzy, fuel rail and throttle when moving it.

TR/S inlet runners will fit fine in a Sigma, just need the ends switched on the plenum.

All Chrysler Day has been moved to some time in March, think 29th for the cruise and 30th for the show.

Since the move I will be able to attend in 2014, I will have 2 cars down there on display.

any 20A-30A relay should be fine. I run a separate 30A relay per light (most likely overkill). that way if one relay fails you still have lights and also spare relays you can just move around

Re: 83 sigma parts to gd wagon

The front struts will fit if you use the 3 bolt strut top from the Galant, and you change the 3 bolt strut base (that bolts to the lower ball joint) to the Sigma 2 bolt one. Note, doing this will narrow your front track by approximately 40mm. the brake disc will hit on the lower control arm (A arm....
