Custom intake manifold build up
 

My first gen getting a custom intake manifold and turbo!

Is that a TII UIM lower section?

That is looking sick!! You should reproduce these for TII guys. ;)

That would look good on my car. ;)

lol. I just hope it works good. If it doesn't, it just may look good on your car!

It is a FD upper that is chopped :D.

Nice!

Curious what the main reason for doing this was? Different throttle body?

How much larger is the plenum volume over stock? (looks to be larger but not sure :) )

yeah its about 1.8 liters. I want to turn 9K RPM without the power/tq drop that the stock manifold has at 7600-8000. Its undivided as well. The throttle body is a mustang 75mm. This will be fine b/c the inducer of the turbo that I am putting on is 71mm.

here is a couple pics of the turbocharger. Its a 71mm billet compressor, Q trim turbine wheel, 4"in 3" out compressor housing with a T4 .96 a/r turbine housing.

Now its time for the T71 install

Nice Bryan! Can't wait to see what this thing will run!

Nice looking Bryan im going to have to stop by and check it out

I took it for a spin today and I see a loss in bottom end. It seems to pic up above 5500 when it hits full boost. We shall see when it goes to the dyno again. Still have to put in the 2nd fuel pump, install the 1000cc primaries and then the turbo.

Lots of work!

Looks REALLY clean Bryan. I'd definately be interested to see some before/after dyno numbers if you have them

That looks good

Awesome work, too cool!
