Here are some pics for easy reference so you don't have to dig through my 1000 post build thread.

 

Measured plenum volume (without runners) was something like 2.3L. Runner volume was about .5L

 

Have any pics of before? I've never opened mine up to see whats inside.

 

how long are the runners now, like 3-4"?

 

Oh please God tell me you did that while the manifold was still attached to the head. That'd be awesome.

 

Like glitter from the tailpipe, awesome!

 

thanks for posting! I'm about to send my motor off to get worked on, ive been bookmarking all porting stuff like this that ive came across

 

Probably around 6 inches? Car is still quite peppy out of boost. I mean, if you did this to a naturally aspirated car then you might loose what, 5hp down low? Since boost is what makes power FWIW I didn't notice any spool hit when I took off my ungutted mani and put this on.

Of course and like a ------- baller I shoved a pile of magnesium shavings down there to take care of the aluminum chunks-- to smooth out the walls n stuff

 

did you do all the porting yourself?

 

Where did the Mg come from?

 

MGs come from Britain, of course

 

Off my crotchal region


Sean mr 2JZ MX5 did most of the gutting with a mill. shi was then smoothed with some aggressive rotary diamond coated bit thing.

All the EGR and vacuum port crap was welded shut with bannanas

 

probably way more than that.

 

Junior high education fail:

 

 

I'm all about the Hg.

 

I had planned to close up the open ports in my manifold with molten alloy. After reading over this all encompassing thread Im now goin with the bananas method. Less clean up and no gas production.

 

and high in potassium.

 

We could all INTAKE more of that.

 

Thanks for the pics. I need to get reinspired to start gutting my extra manifold. It's such a slow PITA process I doubt I'll ever finish. Anyone have suggestions on what kind of tool to use for this? I've just been randomly picking up different cutting tools and nothing has seemed to work all that well.
