Hi Bozo,
The manifold is designed just from scratch, but following some principles.
Almost something equivalent has been used at the WRC cars, but more important there are experiences with this type to meet the 700 HP in a Opel 2.0 L engine turbo at 2 bar.
I don't like that components of the engine comes outside the body so that is the reason that suck from the rear.
It will fit a RHD car there is enough space for the steering column.
I use the parts of the Zetec, injectors, rail, engine wiring, IAC, but the FPR and fuel inlet line has been flip to meet the lines coming from the rear of the car.
I can make drawings if you are interested, a couple of aluminum sheet and inlet flange plus some flanges for the IAC and the TB.
I will probably use a TB of a Volvo 960 because it has a 65 mm unrestricted inlet butterfly.
See the picture for the space under the filter in relation to the steering column.
