A little bit of contemplating


Recommended Posts

I've seen these on ebay a few times and thought it'd be fun to take a look at. I finally spotted one at the local salvage yard while I was scouting out a 1G MAS and figured it'd be worth keeping as a "just in case" part. ;)

 

The manifold is off a 2000 (or so) Toyota Camry. As you can tell in the last picture it's for a DOHC head, but the tubes are round up until they reach the flange.

Anyway, I'm trying to think up how I'd want to go about this. I already know I'll need it standing up like that or maybe even tilted over at an angle. Right now I think the best approach would be to build an adapter plate that'll bend up 90 degrees to meet up with the manifold and attach it to the head.

 

One of the things I'm debating is whether to modify the oval ports so that they're round or retain them. What I was thinking of is that the pinch might make for some better turbulence for the injectors which would be placed down in the adapter, just below the manifold.

 

Anyway, I'd like some input on this idea if you guys wouldn't mind. :)
