DurbenQuest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I am curious to see what your design looks like. What you going to use for the fuel management? where did you get that window spoiler? and how much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_Venable Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 might be a bit much, but have you ever thought of doing the runners at a rear and upward angle, like the injector positions on the Magna intakes? then have the runners curve back down into a plenum, just a thought I've had for a few years, not sure if it would be worth the hassle though.

rosengrant826 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Derek, I had a few designs but this is the simplest. For my first time making one. I may make one or two more in a different design in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I say just put a small angle in the runners. Something around 30 degrees would do the trick. Then you don't have to take the studs out to remove the manifold. btw diggin' the avatar. 3 good looking SQ fanatics right there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosengrant826 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Well yea the avatar is pretty sweet. I am goingto shorten the runners to 4 inches so I don't have to take studs out. It's coming along pretty good I think. Going to be ordering myinjectors fuel rail and throttle body soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drwojo Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I would really like to see how you do the waterneck. I just picked up my materials and am going to try and build my own manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drwojo Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Please enlighten me as I will be building one as well. I have a 4in plenum and 24in of 1 5/8in pipe. I plan to have it mandrel bent 20in at 180 degrees to have 5in sections with a 45 degree bend in them. If you could tell us what was wrong so I don;t make a similar mistake.

rosengrant826 Posted April 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 drwojo the botom flange on the plenum is not thick enough and the back of the plenum sound not have the curve. takeing the runners down to a smaller length Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drwojo Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 What thickness are you going to run. I picked up 1/8in. I do not plan on having the curve on the back of the plenum. Also would curving the runners up to clear everything cause a problem. I am not trying to thread jack, just really excited to finally get this thing going.

rosengrant826 Posted April 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 my runners and 4 inch plenum are 1/8th inch thick. my flange for the head and the bottom of the plenum are 3/8 inch thick and dont do the curve just angle it is what i was told. and i have no idea about curving the runners i didnt get to that design yet.

Drwojo Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 So you are saying to just angle the runners from the firewall towards the front of the car. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t168/food28/roughintake.jpg The left side is how I would imagine the runners should curve. The right is what I was getting from your description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
