yep.

for boosted applications it's best to have almost nothing at all in terms of an intake manifold. the shorter the distance from compressor to engine the better.

problem with that is that you lose lower end torque, due to vacuum losses that occur in the longer manifold and help to pull in more air at lower rpms.


maxxtib, that is sexy as hell. i have a spare manifold with secondary injector bungs i'd consider having you work on if you're willing.

 

heres a little chop i did added the air ram, tried to get them to the same size

obviously the air ram is huge !

but the air ram got you beat on the ports, they are real contoured, where as, yours are straight 90 degrees.

but you got nice short runners ! good for power, quick.

you should weld on some heat sinks the the back of the manifold, on the flat side, so that it can dissipate heat, and stay cool !

that aluminum heats up in seconds and stays hot, but with some sort of heat sink, it would definetley cool, faster.

looks good, nice and low, and small.

dyno prove it !!

 

thats gonna look hella sexy once it's installed. cant wait to see pic's!

 

Your TB is going to be lower, will you still be able to attach the air intake and other things without problems? Looks like a full inch or two drop... Then how about ports, like PCV and other ones on the back? How will they all attach, or are you going to drill holes and attachments for those too?

Now, do you think you could fab another one that can have a supercharger attached to it? cool.gif

 

he's boosted, so air intakes aren't a concern. he will just have to move the charge piping a bit. i'm sure he has something done with the pcv too.

 

I want one! Thats amazing for the boosted guys and it looks awesome. great job

 

Once I get this one finished and running I should be able to make a few more here and there as long as I have some free time, once this one is in my car I can work out the bugs if any and then make a final version that should be alot nicer than this one and the good thing is I should be able to do it on the cheap side as long as I'm getting the materials for free. I should have this one complete and installed next weekend if everything goes well, all that needs to be done are some vaccum ports(Drill, tap and brass fittings) and I need to weld on a bracket for the throttle cable.

 

let me know when you have things all worked out. Ill get an IM sent to you for me. Keep us updated

 

Here is another design, we just used a piece of aluminum piping, welded a plate and fitted a Honda CRV (60mm) tb.

 

Now there is something you should make.. TB adaptors.. If you used a standard Honda Bolt pattern you could open us up to a LOT of cheap BBTBs..

If I had the fabrication skills... I would cut down the runners like you did and fit a LARGER plenum than you did.. so you could fit velocity stacks under it.

Of course then I would have to polish them to a high shine and fit a high temp clear cover to the top of the Plenum so everyone could see them.

Cold Cathode tube in there too maybe?
