Another Billet Intake

Very nice piece for sure, i think it could be even better with 2 inlets though. Being your starting from nothing that shouldnt be to bad to do if someone wanted one, i see the advantage being more so if ones spraying water or and nitrous, it seems it would help distribute the air and mixture even better to an already kick a** manifold. Its all about getting the end cylinders feed as even as the centers, whether its just air or "extras"Just my thought.

Looks awesome Bruce!! Any idea on plenum size now? I betcha it's double what you started out!
 
what do you think just guessing you would have to have for a 24v head sent to you and installing one of those?? maybe some porting??
 
Brandon,
I am really not sure what the volume would be, I could pull it from the cad file.I was mainly concerned about trying to match the edges of the ports as close as possible . I am sure it is quite a bit bigger then stock though just opening up the ends would do that. But the radi in the bottom is pretty big and that takes up allot of space too.
 
If you're able to make one for a 12 valve let me know. I'm very interested in these.

I don't think it would be a problem I would just need a head to work with and make a pattern from. I don't have a motor to use as a mock up that is the only problem, making sure every thing fits together right and clears the pump.

That would be great! I actually have a 96 12 valve that I drive but the key word is drive it is my means of transportation and I can't tear it apart for engineering purposes. If I had one for a mock up with the P pump and everything in place that might get in the way it would be no problem to build it.

It looks like one could easily put a nice long water and/or nitrous bar the entire length of that manifold.

Then again, I do like Dockboy's method with coming from under plenum with the jets and putting in like 4 or 6 of them along the head.


That is a nice looking metal box there Toolman.

How much do you think a lightly ported head and one of these intakes will cost? I'd imagine if something gets a nice core program running so it's just an easy head swap that would be cool!

now with the long bar inside the intake is there any major pressure drop from front to back??

I really don't know this is the very first one and is just off the machine and hasn't been on the truck yet. I think the key thing here is there is no restrictions in the end ports like on the stock head. I have burnt pistons on both ends of my motor and I am hoping that opening up these ports will keep that from happening again.
I can't imagine there being much of a pressure drop being it is a forced induction engine if it were naturally asperated it might be a concern.

I was actually referring to the pressure inside the spray bar say for water injection. but can you pm me a price on a if you plan of selling them for a 3rd gen. Rob

Well, if you go the Dockboy route, put in 6 jets, one per cylinder. Might be easier to have them balanced.

If you go the bar route, maybe make the bar have 2 sides, allow for water inputs in the front and back.

Think about that flat garden hose with all the pin holes in it. It's got one input and all the holes typically spray the same amount of water don't they?

I like the idea of the individual nozzles in front of each port. It would be easy to do just drill and tap a hole for each one. My concern is can you get the nozzle too close to the port? I was talking to someone that was running a ZZ manifold with the spray bars in it and they went back to the nozzle in the intake tube because they thought they were putting the fire out with it directly in the ports.

i am running a direct port injection for my water. had to remove the #6 nozzle as soon as the water came on it was to much water for that cylinder.( factory intake)
 
Looks nice. Maybe it's time for me to put my machining to better use other than die and molds.

Thanks! I was just curious- it's not that big of a deal. I have a spare (junk) 12v block/head/ppump if you want to borrow it.
 
I like it, could you pm me a price for a 3rd gen. I like that you can keep the grid heater if you want, I live in Idaho and i'm not sure if i would want to do without it in the winter.
