custom intake manifold

[turbos12]

i had an extra intake mani..so me and my dad decided to make a custom intake manifold..we cut the flange off the extra manifold i had and i opened up the ports a lil bit to match the runners..we made the volocity stacks our self..for the sides we bend some 3 inch aluminum and cut it straight down the middle..and on the top and bottom we cut some flat aluminum out and welded it all up..we still gotta put some vacuum ports on it and the make a throttle body flange then it will be ready to put on

Nice welds. Wish I had the proper setup to weld aluminum.

WOW!!! Thet plenum is huge!

Wish i could fabricate like that

Not trying to be a jerk, but are those velocity stacks the bottom of pop cans? They just kinda look like it to me. If so, mad props, and what kind of pop?

[turbos12]

no they are 2 inch pipeing we made them with 1 of our pipe benders..a soda can would be a little to thin i would think lol..it does look like it though haha

[float_6969]

It looks good man, but I still think you should throw a little dr. pepper action in that manifold.

Good lord that thing is huge! Doesn't it hit the strut tower? You might want to rake the throttle plate back a bit so the lead cylinder gets good flow.

[turbos12]

it looks alot bigger then it is in the pics..this is going into an s12 i dunno if there is much difference from the strut tower and to motor then in an s13..but from the measurments i took it should fit in there fine..if i finish today ill post some pics of it in the car

done

[themadscientist]

somebody blew a water hose I see. That fuel fiter looks to be in the danger zone the first time the motor is strongly revved. Easily moved though, looks like it will work.

BA-BOOST!

lookin good.

[turbos12]

lol yea i blew a water hose a while ago and i cant get that dam rusty water off lol..the filter is a lil close but i can just move it down a lil if it starts hitting

so whens production to this baby....my question is...and sorry if i sound like a total F*ck stick for asking....but why is it that the greddy manifold and even the current egay manifold have that higher angle int he fron and lower angle in the rear...

im assumning to help airflow get to the final stack quicker...

[turbos12]

i really dunno y those other ones are desighed like that..maybe clearance or looks? i really dunno..as for production we can make these if the ppl that want them are serious about buying them..and we will sell them for less then those ebay ones

[wynnEZ]

so whats the price? lol

[DALAZ_68]

seriously lemme know...

[turbos12]

roughly around 450$ plus shipping

"looks" about the same size as the intake on Mobnes' new 577whp setup

still not sure of much performance benfit over the standard intake seeing as he changed quite a few things on this latest run vs the old 497whp setup (stock intake)...perhaps above 7500rpm?

[turbos12]

wow they do look pretty close
