FS: Custom 1.6L Intake Manifold
 
I'm thinking about putting my setup back to where it was at the end of 07, less big, more street (stock IM, smaller IC, possibly smaller compressor). I don't have the motor to really justify the IM, as I'll never have the balls to run more than 230rwhp.

This was welded by Tim over at BEGi, I came up with the design, provided parts and they made it happen for me.

It utilizes the stock TB but due to clearance issues the stock FPR cannot be used, so I'll include the adjustable FPR and adapter I've been using.

The throttle cable bracket was welded in a bad position, so a new one needs to be fabricated or you shorten your cable and attach a new cable end.

Looking for $400 shipped to the lower 48. It's not pulled yet, and it won't be until after any sale.

I have a shit-ton more pictures if you really need them. There are two vacuum ports under the manifold, I've been using a vacuum block to share everything, not included.

Braineack 07-02-2009 03:30 PM

buy my shit!

Gotpsi? 07-02-2009 04:03 PM

Ill pay you what it would cost me to weld it up, and give you my stock one, I was planning to copy you sometime this month.

Newbsauce 07-02-2009 04:09 PM

I'm fairly certain he has his OEM manifold.

Gotpsi? 07-03-2009 01:11 PM

Thats right no one can take a joke around here, its a good deal but Ill have to pass.

disturbedfan121 07-03-2009 01:33 PM

if i wasn't planning on parting my car out and selling it in like a month or 2 i woulda sent payment already

Braineack 07-03-2009 02:23 PM

buy it anyways, and buy my current IC too.

kenzo42 07-03-2009 04:08 PM

Brain, when are you going WI?

Free bump.

Braineack 07-03-2009 05:43 PM

probably never. I'm always going to be limited with the stock motor, I'm happy with the 200-230hp range, theres no reason to have some of the equipment I have for a semi DD street car that sees a few autoxes and maybe a track day a year.

I removed it today. I had to retain the FPR because I couldn't find my OEM one. I'll include the vacuum block I was using however.

new price $375 shipped with vacuum block.

Braineack 07-07-2009 08:53 AM

You guys are killing me! $375 shipped for a custom IM and not any interest? Just FWIW, after removing it and driving around I could immediately notice a loss of some top-end pull...

levnubhin 07-07-2009 09:12 AM

layaway?

did it increase your spool time by any chance? i forgot if you mentioned it in your thread.

neogenesis2004 07-07-2009 10:28 AM

It did increase spool time a few 100 rpm, but also increased his top end. All as expected.

Braineack 07-07-2009 10:32 AM

what he said.

disturbedfan121 07-07-2009 10:49 AM

so tempting.....should work nicely with my rebuild head with some work and hks cams.....but i also don't have a FPR just the stock one.....

Braineack 07-07-2009 10:56 AM

If I can get a new FPR I'd be happy to send the adjustable one off with it. I just gotta find/source it.

so send scott your stock one, and he can give you the aftermarket one :)

disturbedfan121 07-07-2009 11:05 AM

i do have a spare from a parts car....

Braineack 07-07-2009 11:38 AM

well there you go. I'd be happy to sell it for $375 shipped with the FPR and the vacuum block. Of course I couldn't send the FPR until I have a replacement.

viperormiata 07-07-2009 12:27 PM

I'll take it. You have a PM.

disturbedfan121 07-07-2009 01:06 PM

This is what I wrote to Viper, I still have no payment.....so.


When I drove to the dyno I completely destroyed my diff, I drove on the higway for two hours with no fluid in the rear. It sounded like death. So when I finally got on the dyno my turbo spooled weird and I could tell something was wrong, the results were still promising.

here's the before and after:
http://boostedmiata.com/dynos/intake...are_boost1.jpg

No other changes to the setup, but the IM, were made. You can see I only hit 10psi then it slowly hit 13 at redline, but I made the same power up top with less boost. No signs of torque drop.

Since I fitted a new differential it felt awesome. My problem being, it slowed the spool-up about 300rpm from before. Coupled with my heavy use of the a/c, it was enough that I wasn't happy with the compromise and I have since decided to downgrade my system further and making the setup more street friendly.

Like my thread states, the stock FPR cannot be used, it just wont fit, and a throttle bracket needs to be fabbed. My solution was I bent an L out of aluminum and bolted the stock bracket further back. I wasn't willing to cut the cable and shorten it.

If i had a built motor I'd keep it, but I've always been happy how the setup was prior, and decided to go back and be more competitive racing mopeds on the street.

most of the build progress can be seen here, including my throttle bracket:

I should have my old duel-feed with FPR coming back to me shortly, so I can include the FPR, vacuum block and IM for the $375 shipped.

viperormiata 07-08-2009 11:43 AM

Lol, I'm gonna buy it man.
