custom intake manifold

[latemodelnewbee]

Mount it on your air bag thats always a fun place to put it.

You can buy a subwoofer that mounts to the steering wheel which makes for a nice painful death when you get in wreck

WOuld a turbo benefit from a direct port manny?

[z34phoenix]

yes it would but the 96 manifold's long runers will help low end tq even with a turbo

Settle down guys. Did you guys even see my thread or my dyno post? I cut my manifold about the same as his when I made my custom intake. My torque peak is at 4800 RPM. I have 200+ wheel ft-lbs from 2200 RPM to 5750 RPM. HP peak at 5800 RPM. This is with stock cam timing. You can't argue much with real world results.

That graph is not vary blanced.

Looks perrrrrty though. Who makes these. How much?

Make then run long enough so you can make ram air, instead of to the rear make it so the go forward. heh ram-air ompa.

thing that makes runing the manifold to the front hard is you would need to custom make a new flange and pretty much make an entire upper from scratch

these designs are still custom but use the original flange and some of the runer... these are the harder/expensive parts of building a custom upper.

That graph is not vary blanced.

Graph reading 101: Look at the scale.

The torque is between 200 and 220 ft lbs at the wheels from 2200 rpm to 5800 rpm.

Also note that all those torque dips are on the stock motor as well. This intake dominates the stock manifold.

Nobody makes them. I built it myself..
It's not very hard if you have access to a TIG welder and a good bandsaw. I don't think you could farm it out to some random shop without them charging you mucho $$$ though. It takes a lot of time to get the pieces to fit right, then do all the little things like adding the vacuum fittings on the bottom and whatnot..
