boostinmini Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 I have an isuzu manifold and the intake runners almost match perfect with ours. With a few mods it could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted_One Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 So how are the cooling channels in the manifold? How are you going to match those up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostinmini Posted April 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 If I had a digital camera I would take a picture of the isuzu manifold with my intake gasket sitting on top. It will require the same mods as the magna intake.one coolant passage will have to be welded in a bit but it aligns almost perfect. Then weld on a thermostat housing like the magna. The throttle body lines up to work out pretty much with stock intake plumbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted_One Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 interesting, could you post pics of the flange and manifold? What motor is this intake from? I mean displacement wise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 someone gave me an sr20 200sx se-r motor. I figured the port spacing looked close to the 2.6, so I pulled the intake and tried it. The runners line up, only ~1/8" off at end ports. Its a two piece mani as well. Throttle body already happen to face the front. You'd have to weld the 2.6 intake flange onto the sr flange and port match/ clean up with porting bit (oblong sr port shape). Thermostat housing mods needed too. don't seem like a big deal at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 is this the isuzu head that has the intake you have? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...;category=33617 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostinmini Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 The manifold is off of a 2.6 truck or rodeo. I was thinking of running the whole mpi set up. I know it is not designed for turbo but I will probally only run 7-10 pounds of boost. Get a msd btm, Rising rate fuel pressure reg, May be bigger injectors and giv er.

melayanton Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Check this one out! Its from a 2002 4 cylinder eclipse. Im custom making the flange that im welding it to. Using the eclipse 1G non turbo throttle body. http://photos.yahoo.com/melayanton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Looks mean... almost like a header. Maybe what Q was talking about using. Is that intake steel or aluminum ? Can't see any injector bosses from the photo I viewed... unless u photo'd the intake upside down I wonder how that would work under boost. Plenum volume won't play a role ?

No I took the pics right side up, Injectors bosses are going to be welded when the flange is completely port matched to the head. The intake is made of steel.

jinx Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 sorry, don't have any photos of the sr mani, but its NOT the early 91/2 version with the inveted plenum. Doesn't sit as tall as a magna. Has shorter runers. Same width as stock intake (distance from head) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALANFROMPDX Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I found an MPI mani at the yard last weekend with a large throttle body and when i went to remove the plenum to just get the runners and rail it had 4 additioanle throttle body's inside......yep 4 inside 1 at end of plenum. it was controlled by vacuum not cable like the main throttlebody. DITCHIN THE MX6 intake and using this one due to volume in runners and throttle bodys located in each port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88TSI_Rob Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2471091395 I just saw this and thought I'd throw it into the mix. It's a '97 Hyundia Tiburon intake. Don't know the dimensions, looks like it's fairly tall. Might be worth looking into if you know where to find one...

melayanton Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I dont think those are throttle bodies. Those butterflies in the runners are to change the lengths of the runners for low end torque, and high rpm horsepower. In a turbocharged car air is forced into the engine. Therefore you dont need butterflies in the runners because we dont have the normally aspirated low amount of "ram effect". I would advise against placing restrictions of any kind in the runners of a turbocharged car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostinmini Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I am interested in sr20 manifold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 so what kind of car had that? Â was it the cyclone intake for the 4g63 that wasn't available over here? by the way, any of the 5000/200 audi turbos (any maybe others), if you loose a vacuum line or removed the oil cap, the car will die and won't restart, at least with that cap off, I don't think that engine ever has much/any vacuum, could be why the brakes are hydraulic, even some leaking hoses will make it hard to start and run like poop http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...332930&rd=1 http://i23.ebayimg.com/03/i/01/99/e5/e4_1_b.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 ok we are drifting off topic here. we need to see shots of the isuzu and SR20 intakes with a starion intake manifold gasket on it to compare the potential for runner mating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boostinmini Posted April 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Has anyone ever thought about seeing how the manifold on the eclipse 1.8 fits comparred to our gasket. I just saw one in a pic and it looks like the magna's little bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatBirch Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Here's pics of the Mazda gasket on our stock intake. There are no water passages in the Mazda. The spacing is great. Looks like it require The runners be cut and then "massaged" onto a mitu flange. http://pics.montypics.com/srpoly/2004-04-13/1081885602_gaskets.jpg http://pics.montypics.com/srpoly/2004-04-13/1081885653_mazda_intake.jpg The first is not a quest gasket, just a "rub" of a manifold that I have. -MatB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 one way to use that would be to get a thick adapter, around 1" to go between the intake and the head to be able to somewhat smooth the flow in the transition from the oval to the round port. and then do something with the mounting studs.i guess its doable but its a lot of work. so you plan on cutting the runners and welding it to the facotry intake plate? how are you going to do the port matching?

Actually, I'm not I just took the pics for reference. Kinda funny- I've been eavesdropping on this thread. My next door neighbor is a mechanic, and I knew he had a 2.6 Mazda pickup that he was rebuilding. I thought- perfect those guys want the picture, I can get it real easy......... Then I re-read this and notice that I mixed up the Mazda/Isuzu thing. : Oh well- file this one away for reference ;D -MatB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
