Intake Manifold

[[ion] C2]

Revshift (http://revshift.com) made me an intake manifold. Velocity stacked and tapered runners. My throttle cable cover is also a polished aluminum one now but not in the pictures. New strut tower bar coming soon.

dood, that looks absolutely teh shiznit on that sewing machine :P

But seriously, I like it. Nice job!

They did a great job, looks good on the engine. any plans for paint?

[Redog]

Car's starting to look good too! Amazing what a rag will do, huh?

paint what? the hood is going to get repainted soon.

my engine bay is supposed to be black with shiny stuff, keepin it simple and clean. i'd never want to ruin my polished items by painting over them...

daaaaaayyuuuumm. thats badass. how long did it take to make?

[wrestlingandrunning]

Very nice!

Not bad, but I don't see any velocity stacks by the pics.

lol I meant the manifold, but good point, black and shiny looks good

A velocity stack isn't exclusively a trumpet shaped entry to a pipe that is raised in comparison to the plenum's interior wall. It's simply a smoothed trumpet-shaped airflow entry. The straight pipe doesn't have to be sticking out...

Maybe this shows it better:

how long did it take to make?
a few hours

Looking good, keep it up..

[Cliff8928]

The pic doesn't show rounded edges all that well.

[kwhauck]

not bad, how much did it cost?

Free, John @ Revshift owed me for the website. He also was there during the GT3076R install and plasma cut me a T3 flange spacer and stuff like that.

If there's interest in these manifolds, he's willing to produce them for around $480ish nice and polished... I'm going to get him the flange drawing and throw up an interest thread sometime soon, maybe group buy lower price. It definitely breathes a lot better, my vacuum levels were higher during cruising. Seems to take less throttle to do stuff.

Just thought I'd throw down an updated shot with how it sits now, aluminum throttle cover, custom strut bar mounts, and new breather filter. Might be a couple more things before ASS to clean things up but here she is.

:ohmy: Looks awesome dude, hopefully i'll get to see this one day.

[DOHC_tuner]

Seems your still at it Ion...great job!

I still vote for a better cam selection and down the road swap in a 12345RFTW.

Great job none the less.
