So got some of the parts for my intake manifold build today [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]

 

Thank you for including an estimated completion date in the photos. It's refreshing, after reading the BME thread.

Edit: I meant BMC, but I'll leave it as I typed it to explain the confusion posts below. :/

 

I'm stoked that you came back in time to share future design plans with us . Seriously though, I've had an inkling to have a manifold made for a while now, so I'm excited to see what other people do. Good luck!

 

BME thread?

There's a lot of sick **** on BME...

 

I think a lot of the stuff on there is really neat, personally.

 

BME? not sure what that is but, I am looking for a 1.6 manifold to start my build, or I will have to wait till after my next track day in February to finish it up. It will be a cluster of ideas I have seen in my research. I had my father in law machine up these velocity stacks to start with. I already have the most of the materials that I need but am still deciding on a domed end cap or a bend that will transition from one end of the plenum to the other. I also am debating using a ls1 throttle body since I have them laying around from my camaro build.

 

Sorry, I meant BMC. :/

 

I don't think Nagase and I are talking about the same thing.

Warning

A lot of it is NWS, btw. Good way to kill some time if you have a fairly strong stomach.

 

Yeah, I've been looking at that site for years. Lots of cool mods there.

Sorry for the OT.

 

Where did you get these, or did you make them yourself?

 

Father in law machined them it seems.
What size material did you start out with on those stacks. Pipe or round stock?

 

they all started off as a solid 4" piece of aluminum

 

I wish I had the tooling to make them my self, I would have some really cool stuff if that was the case.

 

Damn that would take forever to do on my manual lathe

 

Haha it was done on a cnc, he is head of the machine product family for the naval base in San Diego.

 

*3 axis cnc mill added to the list of tools to get*

 

I was just thinking the same thing, haha

 

I have access to one at the community college. I'm also in a CNC class, maybe I'll try making something like this....

 

Gotta learn how to weld aluminum too. That's where i learned; community college.
