I know I'm gonna build one for myself that will pretty much mimic this one except with a round plenum:




It will have the same short, straight runners, velocity stacks, and a LARGE TB flange. Probably for a Mustang 70mm, or even a 75mm. Those Mustang Billet TB's are very cheap to get and weight like half as much as ours.

NOTE: Since it will have straight runners, it will be a lot lower than the stock and Airam manifold. Therefore, you can use any strubar!!!

Would you be willing to pay for this manifold that is only "slightly" less than the Korean Airam? Like I said, I'm gonna build mine, but am wondering if there is enough interest for a group buy or mass production of these.

would you need money up front?
I'm interested but am starting to reluctantly give my money toward projects that seem to never start.

eh might be at the right price but I'll probably just get a stock one p&p'd

if i was actually planning on higher hp numbers then I'd be much more interested.

Actually, it's gonna be a LOT easier than fitting the stock manifold.

I'm gonna build one soon for myself and be the guinea pig.


I see you Emanuel!!! lmao.gif

I'd say yes, but after looking at some Mustang TB's that Faith has had before, I don't know how you are going to do the throttle and cruise cables.

Let me know what you figure out mang, if it's not a royal PITA, I may consider it, and get rid of my airram.

Your idea?

Redz, this is for the turbo guys who could give a rats ass about cruise control and all the other gadgets that came with the car. cool.gif
You won't want this on your n/a car which is why it's in the FI forum.
