MrBishi2.6 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Thought this might inspire you foreigners to do something similar. This is an intake I made that is based on a TR magna. Uses internal bellmouths and a Chev LS1 throttle body. Also note the 'short' 4" intake pipe - yes that is the intercooler you can just see.No it isn't a Starion bay, but a '76 Mitsi Lancer (similar to Dodge Colt). http://www.sigma-galant.com/modules/gallery/albums/album66/intake.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 on the TR intake, by they time you cut off 80% of the runners to clear the brake booster there is not much else left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 You would be left with a semi-short , large diameter runner, perfect for grafting on a plenum and havign a good high perf intake. the hard parts of making a MIP from scratch are getting the stat housing made, weldign the runners on in a clean mannor (transition and correct angle) and fabricating injector bosses/rail, the runners/plenum are pretty easy realitivly speaking. I've thought about offering a hacked TR, but never realy persued the idea because the Magna is ultimatly cheaper (though less HP potential).

Agree 100%. You will note that I have no room for a mech water pump, hence need for electric pump, thus I don't need to worry about the thermostat housing. The TR inlet has the larger diameter runners that lend themselves well to being shortened. They also come with the nicer extruded ally fuel rail.

Blind_Drifter Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Nice engine dampner. Looks liek a solid tie rod end. How do you like it? Mind showing a how to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBishi2.6 Posted December 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 No how to. It's only a couple of rod-ends with a couple of dodgy brackets. I need it due to tight clearances in the engine bay, but surprisingly doesn't add too much to NVH. Though bear in mind it is a stripped out loud & rough vehicle anyway.
