maxboost87 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) Custom built MPI intake manifold. Pressure tested to 40psi until it started pushing open valves in the junk head it was bolted to. Never ran on a car. Designed to use the factory heater hose and thermostat top "not included" a set of NPT threads for the needed coolant sensors. fittings for all vacuum and pcv operations on the underside of unit. Flared velocity stacks on inside of plenum. Includes 65mm throttle body. All necessary hardware for bolting to engine. Throttle cable is stock but must be modded to work "very simple to do" includes a matching smaller roller wheel for the cable, that mounts to the valve cover to transfer the throttle cable that runs down side of valve cover to the wheel on the throttle body...goes over top the missing bolt in the thermostat cover... Sorry failed to bolt that on in the picture...will get another pic if needed, it will be a very cool set-up. $625.00 + shipping PM with inquiries http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/4792/1001685a.jpg http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/4818/1001686.jpg http://img602.imageshack.us/img602/8895/1001687.jpg http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/9080/1001657.jpg Edited December 10, 2010 by maxboost87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupid fast Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 does this come with fuel rail and injectors, you pm'ed about your mpi build but i cant afford it right now, but i can pick this one up, im very interested and will buy asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor530 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 So does that bolt apart to expose the velocity stacks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patra_is_here Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 the stacks are there prior to welding is shut from the looks of it. there's no point in looking at velocity stacks on a turbo car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotStock88 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 who built the intake? are any others using one to show its durability? Not trying to take away from the sale I just wanted to see if there is any more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxboost87 Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 This is the first of its kind. This is not the first intake have built, done many for other makes of cars and a few for the quest along with lots of other performace parts and fabrication projects. Durablity is not an issue. Like i said its been pressure tested for strength and leaks. It should work with an ac car. The TB was routed so it will clear the ac line going in the top. TPS sensor should clear the pump as well. It hangs about 1/2 inch lower than the distributor cap. More can be made but for a limited time, until i move onto building another item...i have alot of ideas in mind for these cars. My main goal along with good looks is strength, i am very big into aircraft so the main thing is building things that will not fail, and also perform very well. I think we need more options as far as intake variety goes...theres not much out there that is reasonably priced. The price of this one is competetive with intakes of the same design for other makes of cars. By the way it comes with a new felpro gasket. I will try to get a pic of it mocked up with the cable tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOSTED88tsi Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 What do you use for a fuel pump block off plate? And it clears the stock dizzy no problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxboost87 Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Clears the dizzy no problem if you remove the rotor cap first to make it easier. Block off plate is built into the flange so that is not an issue "gasket is glued inplace then bolt together". It is well engineered:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOSTED88tsi Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 if I could sell my blower off my mustang ill pick one up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc85 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) Lee, it looks great! Now I'm having second thoughts about the TBI build lol. Keep up the awsome work, be down soon. Edited December 10, 2010 by pc85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC_99 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 One fabricator to another....beautiful work! You should consider making some jigs and making a run of these. I could see them becoming a very popular option for the mpi crowd. Very nicely done. BC_99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullzaflare Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) whats the thickness of the plate that bolts to the head? looks very thin also, as first reply asked, does it come with the injectors/fuelrail? Edited December 11, 2010 by Skullzaflare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxboost87 Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Both Flanges will be 3/8 thick. Plenty thick for an aluminum intake. Yes it comes with rail. No Injectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor530 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 What kind of injectors does this take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxboost87 Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) It takes most anything. The hole is for a 14mm o ring. which is between 1/2 and 9/16" (0.55") the fuel rail is drilled to the same size. Most injectors are that size except for Mitsubishi and a few odd others, those are 11mm (0.43") If someone needs the fuel rail to be 11mm i can use a different rail to that size. ~Lee Edited December 12, 2010 by maxboost87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 the stacks are there prior to welding is shut from the looks of it. there's no point in looking at velocity stacks on a turbo car. Why, does the turbo negate the laws of physics? The onlything different in an intake of a NA car and a boosted one is that the pressure differentials are greater due to higher manifold pressures. The greater the pressure differential, the more a velosity stack works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxboost87 Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 It acts as a funnel. Think of the pressure at the end of a liquid filled 1/2 inch pipe. Then compare it to a funnel like one for pouring oil, with a 1/2" hole in the end, filled with the same liquid. Which will have more pressure at the end? Same rule applies...especially under boost.

Chad Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 The primary advantage is that the entry to the runners is in closer to the center of the plenum, not at the boundary where the air is stagnent. Also look up air boundary layer... The funnel efect also helps increase velosity, the gains are not so much a pressure feature. If they didnt' work, they wouldn't be on several high $$$ exotic boosted OEM designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Burgandy Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 how long will you be making them? id like to get one but itll be atleast 2 weeks before my next paycheck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuestFan Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) I'll be the test mule for 500.00 plus shipping. I've already beat ya to it. I am first in line to recieve this beautiful, well designed intake. The intake pictured is actually the one Lee made for me. I asked for an easy as it can get plug and play MPI setup/kit and Lee delivered! Thanks Lee.

QuestFan Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Free bump. Mine just came in the mail today. It is superb! Excelent work this man does. It is worth the $$. Will let yall know how it does once I get it all put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
