1HD-FTE Forward Facing Intake Manifold Elbow

Features

• Custom designed and cast aluminium forward facing manifold inlet elbow 
• Suits all Toyota 1HD-FTE engines
• Inlet diameter is 3″
• Includes 2 x 1/8th boost reference ports
  

The perfect addition to any front-mount intercooler kit. Our Toyota 1HD-FTE forward facing manifold inlet elbow has a 3″ diameter and been designed for maximum flow. No sharp edges or fast transitions in the bend radius. This makes it ideal for those looking for a 1HD-FTE forward facing manifold inlet.

Our ridge machined finish prevents hoses from popping off under pressure

The inlet has a ridge machined finish surface to ensure maximum bite into the silicone hose. This helps prevent hoses from popping off … unlike with smooth or poorly finished surfaces on other intake manifold elbows. When using a 1HD-FTE forward facing manifold inlet, this feature ensures reliability.

Smooth or poorly finished surfaces are a leading cause of turbocharger failure due to a sudden overspeed event when the compressor becomes unloaded. This is why we have taken the time and expense to incorporate a ridged machine surface finish on all of our high-performance intake manifold elbows that can be subject to very high boost pressures. This is critical for the performance of the 1HD-FTE forward facing manifold inlet.

Other similar products use a simple cast ridge at the end of the tube, which works ok at low and moderate boost pressures but have been known not to perform at boost levels above 30PSI.

Fits OEM sensors and has 2 boost reference points

Our Toyota 1HD-FTE inlet manifold elbow is manufactured from cast aluminium and has the M16 thread for the OEM air temperature sensor, as well as two 1/8th BSP threaded holes for boost reference points. This makes it a versatile choice for a 1HD-FTE forward facing manifold inlet application.

The two M12 bosses are to mount a bracket that will allow the fitment of the map sensor and other OEM components if required. They can also be cut off for a smooth finish if preferred.
