Intake manifold fabrication goodies
nice parts for manifold fabricating here:
http://www.rossmachineracing.com/intakeparts.html |
Ohh fancy :) Nice link.
|
What's your opinion on their pricing based on the machine work required?
Those parts really reduce the work for the less experienced. One could practically buy the parts, cut and drill, then take it to a welder for assembly. |
Ross is pretty popular with the VW fab guys. Flipside will have an intake manifold for the 1.6 Miata soon.
|
hey i love finding shops within a 1.5 hr drive radius!
|
that's good news... for 1.6 owners.
I think I'm just going to lop off my OE manifold right where the runners turn up and then put a box on the end. I guess a 4x4 box would be ideal- given that's what they're "pushing". |
i need a tig.
|
I have thought about making a Intake mani for the miata to sell. I might get one, one of these days. I have been to that ross site, and I think I have another one bookmarked. Maybe if someone has interest in one being made, I will make one.

I have a spare 1.8 manifold in my basement with plans to do the same eventually. That way I don't have to find a flange for the head.

yeah, I'd definitely stick to copper plumbing pipes when using JB Weld. ;)

As a 1.6 owner I'd say it would make a lot more sense to make a 1.8 mani. Hardly anyone with a 1.6 would keep it if going for power that required a new intake manifold. Strange.

STFU no way im getting a stinkin 1.8 no character to that motor.

The Flipside manny will be $400 or less. The nice thing is he can taylor them to your setup. Vacuum ports where you want or maybe just include a vacuum manny. The plenum is larger but it still utilizes the factory lower.
|
things like being able to spec throttle body mount type are good
