Rocketman Carb Adapter

[bravekozak]

I have seen Rocketman's work. It is excellent. I have approached him to cast a bracket for a swing away Mini Cooper drink holder. I will supply him with the right hand side of the dash radio housing.

hey Zoe what would you want for the weber carb. I have a 32/36 and an EGT carb and have better response with the weber as my Festy has the FMS Stage 3 cam and head work is all ported and bigger valves. I did have to rejet it a couple times to get it right but it is a screaming B6 .040 over aspire roller rockers and Kio flywheel with the 7 1/2 clutch

Looking good as always. If I still had my carbed festiva I would buy one of these looks much nicer than my home made 1/4 inch plate with role cage tubing lol it did work nicely.
denguy is still running. One of my home made units
, I believe.
I am running a ROCKETMAN ADAPTER GREAT WORK MATT! ! ! !

I'm gonna keep it for a while, you never know. If I saw another carb car for sale I might buy it and start on another one!

[Rocketman]

Thanks guys for the kind words! I have a few castings in stock at the moment, I can machine them for either 32/36 or Escort carbs if anyone is in need of one

[Jibletgreyv]

[needragr]

ordered one a week or so ago....are they manufactured per order?
Can I get a status?

[Jibletgreyv]

looking for status as well. Still haven't received mine.

[Rocketman]

Sorry guys - had a flood of orders & had zero hardware on hand. I had to order some more, it's in-hand now & your adapters will be out today 8/19

Well worth the wait, friends! He does stunning work. Couldn't be happier with my compressor inlet adapter.

[Rocketman]

What is the adapter for? A/C? Turbo?

[Rocketman]

It's an adapter for the IHI VF10 turbo as found on certain Subarus. Similar to the Tbird turbo, the stock inlet pipe is not suitable for use on our engines because of the angle or shape of the pipe, so I came up with a bolt-on aftermarket cast inlet that permits you to come up with your own intake piping.

VF10 inlets:


Similar inlet & outlet I did for the JDM GTR turbo, the VJ23, that faces the same issue with restrictive OEM piping:

Another great looking product.

Got it thanx. in process of making some custom gaskets with .030 Phenolic.
Question: the DGEV has a couple of "air bleeds" around the periphery of one of the throats. It appears that these are need to be exposed /relief-ed on that top gasket?
Also I saw mentioned that it is necessary to block of an EGR plate when performing this swap? Where ? Plate? Do I make it can it be purchased ? OE or Aftermarket?
