Awesome, the top bolt holes don't line up on the j4 head and the ports are ever so slightly off.

Jp4 all the way

i would go re-circ ross tbh stealthy-ish lol

[Andy_K]

JP4 ftw indeed lol.
Have you added any additional bolt holes across the top of the manifold, as iirc there are a few across the bottom and only 2 across the top. Several people have added an additional 1 or 2 holes (drilled and tapped) to help secure the inlet onto the head

Will see what sort of cash I've got to get one + will need to work out how to plumb it back into the C2 inlet as there aren't many 'nipples' on it.

No I've not added any. All I've done for now Is drilled 3 holes in the inlet so that it fits onto the J4 head (as it has 3 studs in it).

When I fit it to the JP4 I'll just use x6 bolts to screw it to the head as per oem, and then the bracket mentioned below.

Citroen do a bracket that bolts onto the C2 inlet at the top, and then bolts onto the head to sturdy it - I'm just waiting to pick mineup from Citroen (around £4) which should help to support the inlet weight as opposed to the inlet bolts.

Yeh the bodies have been sold - all boxed up and ready to go.

May have to invest in one of these brackets

They look to be well worth fitting - I'll get some pictures up of it and my fuel setup asap

I've read about the C2 inlets snapping inlet bolts, and coming loose - but hopefully should be all okay

For a second there mate, I though you had a 'purple head' in your engine bay!

Good to see some progress on this though!

Lol, the price of the gold bolts is insane - they'll definitely be something to do once it's all complete and mapped up, for now rusty oem bolts ftw

Yeh definitely - I've got to give my daily driver a major service next week, cambelt time on a v6 :s but should be fine ! Then I can get a map built up and pull the engine out for the major work to begin!

I'm just waiting for parts to come through the post which is holding things up really

Thanks Yeh it should look tidy, just concentrating on getting it all together and built up - got this Be conversion to do first, hydraulic clutch and cable shifter setup will take some fiddling to get working sweet.

Matt black engine bay, might be harder to notice oil leaks, or see where they're coming from?

[xxo0pko0xx]

keep that inlet purple looks ace!

[Jamie]

Purples my favorite colour so it's win for me!

Looks greaaaat
