doesn't show the best bit. the awesome Intake manifold

theres alot of awesome on these engines.

Like all the carbon fiber kicking round.

back to JGTC, 3SGTE dry sump oil pump.

Trav, i must say, this is by far and away, the best thread ive ever seen on this forum, albeit the entire internets.

cheers

this one is a bit if a odd one.

the guy who has this on his car claims it is a rare (6 of) carlos sainz manifold. the manifold next to it is a standard gen3.

im not convinced it is a rally type setup as the anti lag has been blocked etc and its using a external gate. my view is its some form of race gen3 item (not 503e) for some oddball racing.

as you can see its a much more performance orientated casting (obviously the external gate etc)

Hmm yeh doesn't look like a manifold from one of the factory teams, interesting item nonetheless.

Found some comparison shots
Firstly, gen 2 TTE vs standard blocks

And apparently a 503e block


Also some pics of of what's labelled as a 3S-GT JGTC engine, although looks like a 503e





Loving this thread btw!
