Richwood Technologies Supercharger Manifold

Yes, if you can do this I'd appreciate it.

Autronic,

I don't have a charger on my manifold so I can't get you those measurements. Perhaps John or Fuly can help you with that.

 

[cribbj]

Autronic, my Richwood manifold doesn't have anything mounted as yet, so I can get nearly any measurements you'd like.

I'll get the dimensions of the interior plus the size of the SC mounting plate for you later today.

John

Here you go. Will have make another post to include the rest.

P.S. That tape measure is measuring in inches, while the digital caliper is in mm.

And a few more.

Hi,
We have finished making the VVTi supercharger, it will fit the 4.0, 4.3, 4.5, 4.7, and 5.0, it will be available in the new year,check with us for pricing and application guide.

In the mean time if you put the 1UZ-fe heads on the 2uz,3uz you can use the exsisting manifold available from Richwood.

Autronic; we make a intercooler to go under the top plate, hides inside the manifold, is 19mm thick, manifold has two connectors on the rear, email me for costs.

Injectors holes are machined for std injectors, some may find the plastic nipple on the injector tight, we have enlarged the base hole from 9 to 9.5mm to accomodate this.

Cheers, Andrew

Andrew, can you post some pictures of the intercooler that mounts under the top plate?
Thanks,
Andrew

Looking forward to seeing that vvti manifold!

Hi I'm interested in buying a richwood manifold but the web site don't seem to work, if you have any info that would help me thank you.

Richwood went out of business just after the GFC.

The closest I know of is Bullet Cars in QLD.

I have a Bullet manifold and found that I had to spent quite a few hours cleaning up the casting and match porting it. A big waste of time though. While they are a nice manifold and allows the blower to sit nice and low in the valley you will never make big power using one. Reason.. You will not get the inatke temps down. As soon as the blower gets warm the intake temp is off the chart and you can't put timing into the engine. Their under blower intercooler dropped intake temps from over 110C to about 90C. using a bloody big heat exchanger....another waste of time. And lifted the blower up another 40mm so it poked through the hood anyway. Turbos are the go.

 

[cribbj]

Ivan, you bring up a good point about the charge air cooling, but it also depends on how efficient your blower is.

I forgot, are you using a Roots or a screw type?

And you're right, you'll get more peak power out of turbo's, but you won't get that huge bump in torque until they're on boost. With the Roots or screw, you have boost from the get-go.

 

[Zuffen]

I spent many hours cleaning up the ports on my Richwood manifold and my intercooler was a sandwich plate about 50mm high that redirected the pressurised air through an external water/air intercooler and then back into the sandwich plate. The sandwich plate was essentially a box divided in two from the top of one side to the bottom of the other side.

What I received needed a lot of work to make it function as it should.

I had around $10,000 invested in the induction system and for that I could have had more power with turbo's and not spent the other $35,000 building an engine to accept 21.5psi.

 

[Zuffen]

What sort of power are you looking at/for out of it.

I sold my engine off and put a stocker back in.

It was too fuel hungry to leave the city and it was almost un-driveable on Mud Terrain tyres.
