Intake manifold
 
I was on eBay today and was thinking has any one ever bought one of those civic sheet metal intake manifolds and cut the flange off and welded up a flange for a Miata? If not then if some one has a civic manifold could you measure the runners to see if they come close to the runners on a 99 Miata?

i have a picture of the runners search my mane its one of my for sale threads i didnt measure them i just put them next to eachother its definetly do able i still have the intake if you want it, you would need a flange though

you could probably just fill in the holes and re drill it too

Also if you cloud take a better pic of it that would be cool i hope i dont sound like an ass.

Wow. Is this for real? I mean, we're actually talking about taking an OBX manifold made out of thin sheet aluminum for a B16 engine, cutting the ends off, and welding it to the cast head flange of a Miata engine?

1990miata1.6 01-18-2009 09:10 PM

No im having a flange made if i end up buying one. My friend works at a mechine shop so he could get me real good deal on the flange.

It's been done using the Edelbrok IM. IIRC, the flange is cutoff and the miata one welded on. There are two examples of it being used on this site. see CEO's setup.

Thanks for the help but when i look up CEO's nothing comes up with that name.
