intake manifold project on the cheap-ish
 
$135 delivered. The runners on this manifold (Magnus 4g63, 75mm tb bore) actually converge with the runners on the stock FE manifold. Four cuts, some welding and grinding should show an improvement over the current arrangement. Granted the runner ends aren't rolled, but for the price...:cool:

I don't think he's selling it...I think he bought it, and is bragging ;)

Nice score Rob, Nice try Jared.

Well, my point was to start a build thread. But hellzyes! you can't buy the parts to make half this manifold for that price. My guess is the same thing can be done with some of the Honda manifolds - you just need to take some measurements. Apparently this manifold starts choking the engine at ~500whp. :giggle:

Braineack 10-23-2008 04:07 PM

the port spacing on the 1.8L blocks should match the B16 pretty close.

An easy mod is to buy the Eldelbrock IM for a Honda b16 and cut off the flange and weld on a new one for the miata head.


a lot of IM projects going on this winter. ;)

wow thats nice. Really wish the 1.6 guys had some options for intake manifold

leatherface24 10-23-2008 04:27 PM

a freind of mine had one of those on his DSM, until a meth explosion turned it into about 15 peieces

tell your friend trailers make better meth labs than an IM.

Sounds like a bad day to me.

If anybody has a 100% image file of the 1.8 intake manifold flange/gasket, I'll lay it over the flange on this manifold to see how close it comes.

I've been thinking of doing something similar actually.....

M-Tuned 10-23-2008 08:54 PM

Cool! My Buddy Marco owns Magnus. Best IMs in the WORLD!

airbrush1 10-23-2008 09:23 PM
