I think he means removing the VTCS butterflies, not gutting the plenum.
Im not sure what all goes into it but it may be possible to pull those suckers out of there and JB weld up the throttle shaft holes. Hmm starting new thread |

FWIW I have a fuckin gutted 01+ plenum in my GF's dad's trailer. Who wants me to do a back to back test! Yay! Fuck, I will do a whole intake manifold shootout on my own dime if you bitches send me them to test.

Some pics of my modified 94 manifold.

Interesting...def. loks like something I'd like to try. How much did the EGR equipment impede into the plenum? Looks like a much better flow over the NB IM.

I suspect my manifold performs similar to some of the Honda setups, but with slightly longer runners. Seems like to me the short runners would be more tuned to RPM’s beyond where a Miata motor happily runs. Bob |
This is the intake mani I wanna use badly

I don’t think it is the intake manifold that is the primary source for the torqe drop at high RPM though. Bob |

What do you think is the primary source?

Bob, what you did with that intake is great.
I have had this question in my mind for a while. Those pics def mad me feel like that IM is much better than my current 99gutted set up. I may look into that after the Vegas event in a few weeks. I am also interested in the new BEGI intake.. |

The strong point of the Mazda BP engine compared to a Honda is mid range torque It is simply different than a 9000 rpm Honda. Putting a 9000 rpm Honda intake manifold on a Mazda head doesn’t suddenly make it flow like a Honda. Bob |
