The Good the bad and the ugly

[Yellow4g63]

I picked up the Wasabi intake manifold today. Few things missing but not a big deal to me. 1 a spot for the idle air control valve. and a few more vacume ports, nothing major. I gave him a RB20 lower intakemanifold for core so he will prob have anotherone done soon. He told me that he ran out of the 90mm Throttle body flanges which he is goin to put on the manifolds. Lucky for me I didn't want anything that big. It could use some porting. Anyways he will need a core for those who want a manifold. Give take give take bla bla bla pics.

I'm holding the TB onto the manifold no flange there.

Now for the bad sort off.

I think since this is the 1st it's not the best but I'm can't knock it. I couldn't do any better lol. All these parts and the motor is still stock. Big trobule ahead lol goin from stock to modded in 2.2 seconds.His Web Page with Email

Damn, nice....does he buy the plenums pre-made and then weld them on? Looks good, I just finished mine today, but after seeing this, I don't wanna post it..haha.

90mm is perfect for the Q45 thottle body

Who made the THrorrle body flange for you? did you run the stock TB or go BIG? I think he makes them himself.

I know but it seems like it way over kill for a RB20.

[PROJECTRB240SX]

WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THE GASKETS FOR THE RB20? OR ARE YOU JUST RTVING IT ALL?

ANYWAY NICE PLENUM.....HOW MUCH DID IT COST YOU IF YOU DON'T MIND ME ASKING?

[PROJECTRB240SX]

WHOOPS MY BAD I JUST SAW THE WEBPAGE.

[BoostFab]

can you ask him about making only the top portion plenum?

Have to make a trip down to RBmotoring and order some RB20 gaskets.

[PROJECTRB240SX]

CAN THEY GET THEM? I CALLED TWICE AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T CARRY RB20 GASKETS.

[Bluefire]

Whatever they don't have, they can order

-Bluefire

[Yellow4g63]

yup

[PROJECTRB240SX]

OK I'LL TRY CALLING AGAIN.... I HOPE THEY AREN'T THAT EXPENSIVE.

[goofynick6]

I used RTV on mine..will work fine.

I had a local metal shop waterjet me a flange for my 2001 mustang GT throttlebody, which is 72mm on the outer edge, but tapers down to 65mm..5mm more than stock.

Nick

[Yellow4g63]

How much did they charge you?

[frosted flakes]

thats a nice manifold...im thinkin about getting one like that. Once you get it installed tell us how the response feels and if you felt like it gained any in performance.

Thanks

I won't really beable to tell since I'm doing alot of things at the sametime. When that goes on the Bigger turbo is goin on at the sametime, along with the FMIC and downpipe and if I'm lucky the exhaust. I drove the car stock a few times but not really hard cause I haven't changed out the fuel pump yet.

[goofynick6]

I could probably have one done for about $10

If it will fit the stock TB I'm down. Aluminum right?

[goofynick6]

Mine won't fit the stock tb, you'd have to draw one up in autocad to fit it, then get it cut. Unfortunately I'm going out of town for July and won't be around, otherwise I'd love to get this done for you.

You know how to use AutoCad? I wish I knew how to use that thing lol. It's kool when you get back let me know and I'll send you some money. Did you do the Idle Air valve flange too?

[rb250sx]

Nick, post ur pics, i want to see them

[goofynick6]

Yeah, I've taken a few years of autocad at college so I'm pretty good on it now. As far as the IAC, I just actually made it remote (my buddy's idea) and so I just drilled an aluminum plate for it and then have a hose running to a barbed fitting on the IM for it to hook to.

I'll get pics up tonight of stuff, I have been working away since I go home Friday, but thinking of trying to start it tonight

Let me see how you did that too. Might save me some trouble

[emperor_lunchbox]

is this manifold better that the one that cuzan0 made?

here is the link to the post of hishttp://store.yahoo.com/cheaptu....html

[Yellow4g63]

No the guy from wasibe made that intake manifold.

[goofynick6]

I posted pics in my thread with the relocated IAC valve

Nick

[emperor_lunchbox]
