Thats the new project. tore apart the old one :(. should be running beginning of december.

 

Well hurry it up man, i'm loving it already. Definitely jealous of your turbo.

 

saaweeet!

 

+1. Nice intake manifold! Is that a kit?

 

i want the intake manifold, who made it?

 

the whole car is my work from the paint to the fab work. i am still waiting for this nig nog to get done installing my poly bushings in to my control arms.... i hate shops with a passion. so its still standing where it was when i painted it so its still not a rolling chassis. so there is aloooot of work still to say the least to get this thing going. plus i gotta get my megasquirt in and tuned too and i know i will hit my kinks so it may get pushed back past christmas.

<---- having serious miata deprevation (no miata for 3 months now)

 

just got done welding up the intake mani time to get crackin on the thottle cable bracket and gotta get the flanges flattened.

 

I think you should stop working on the car and start manufacturing manifolds. That's sweet. When can I send you mine? Looking good. Looking shiny.

 

What's the main advantage to a manifold like this over the stock one?

 

the "stunna effect"

i am doing it for the larger plenum and smoother straighter runners. there is a few to be gained there... well see on dyno day in a month its mainly for moving the power band up or down. in my case with my smallish turbo i wanted it to move up so i went pretty big on the plenum with the largest runners i can run with a stock head port size.

 

make me a damn manifold. NOW!!! Honestly though, shoot me a price if you feel like getting frisky.

 

Very nice job on the intake manifold! I want one too, you are giving me ideas which is bad for my spare time Is that a regular 1.6 throttle body?

 

yes it is i had an ls1 lying around but my piping matches this tb just fine so i didnt see the point. if i was going 3 inch piping a bigger throttle body would be in order for sure.

 

is that engine bolted down? You could do a cooling reroute while everything is out of the way.

 

already ahead of you

kinda having to anyways so i can flow it thru my turbo.

 

Looked through the progress log. Some really nice work there.

 

You must have completely gutted the thing to paint it. That'll look phenomenal when it's done!

 

since i had to take everything out ill have to put it all back in... i hope i dont forget to tq somthing

weight it taken off everything i put back in, i am making a big effort to do that. so far i have a pile of stuff in my garage that when i weighed it all out is about 220 pounds. of course i wont have alot of things but it will look like a completed car nothing will "look" stripped

 

did you shoot any pics of your intake manifold as you were building it? I for one, would love to see them!

 

nice as andy said price on a manifold for me what do ya say?
