Intake Manifold
 
Revshift 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.

damn, looks soooooo good c2. Wish I could run a 2.3L manifold let alone this.

Very nice!

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

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:

Cliff8928 06-03-2010 01:56 AM

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

kwhauck 06-03-2010 09:11 AM

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.

[ion] C2 06-14-2010 09:53 PM

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.


Chris2000 06-14-2010 10:05 PM

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

DOHC_tuner 06-14-2010 11:47 PM

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.
