I was bored at home looking at the intake manifold and trying to what a cnc machine could do to produce another one that is a larger in size to increase the flow when being turbed.

the manifold is two peices put together pretty much.

Questions that i have in the second pic that i am pointing to are these plugs for emissions stuff.

I would be interested in one just for the reason I hate the way the stock one looks.

Those are the solenoids for the VDI SSV and Air Pump

So they can be removed if Im not runing the air pump anymore.

One can..the other 2 are for the VDI and SSV...

If you are Turbo'd..you won't likely use the VDI one either...so you really only need one. I could be mounted anywhere really

Ok thanks I not sure if this has been tried at all but I notice how thr manifold is two pecies put together, I know how how a cnc machine can make pecies so I was thinking by taking the manifold apart and have the two seperate pecies welded to make on to create. An alunium manifold with larger piping.

i think BHR is making one they had a prototype at the socal dyno day

Well depending on how I how much I left the guy is going to do the pulleys for me next week for a little bit of nothing so if I can find another manidfold because I not going to take mine apart

oooo pretty :icon_tup:

im guessing thats for a turbo setup ???? Or N/a as well?

What happens when you make a UIM with bigger runners but your LIM is still the same dimensions? Then you decide to make an LIM with larger runners, but then you realize that all the intake ports are still the same size? So, you decide to port your Renesis and only after all this effort come to learn about the importance of intake manifold vacuum, airflow volume and velocity, and proper testing procedures?

Just pondering..........

so their just bling? jk

so their just bling? jk

Exactly, and we have no plans to market them as anything other than that.

WHAT?!
no dyno sheets? WTF you n00b, don't you know that dyno sheets are needed to justify EVERY mod?? :rolleyes:

Bling is good :D:

Look for mine next week to be posted ;)
