Challenger Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Im still trying to figue out what exact car it was. It looked like a Saab 900 but Im not sure, front tilt hood, and little vents in the rear fenders. I might go back to see so I can try to get more of these!

Challenger Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Also being that Im in metals and have access to a plasma cutter table (and tomorrows last day of school) Im going to design it in the morning and try to get 6 cut out. These will be the flanges that connect the bends to the lower runners. Heres some aluminum I got from my grandpa for FREE, he didnt need it and I knew Id use it somehow.... and I did.

Challenger Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Made these today and printed them out. The larger connected one would be the one attached to the plenum and the bottom seperate ones would be welded to the runners going strait to the head.

Six_Shooter Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Wouldn't it make as much sense to make either 12 individual flanges or 2 'connected' flanges? The spacing will be the same regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hunter Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Ok I'm almost positive this is a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway because I'm curious. Looking at those pictures, even with forced induction it looks like the cylinders closest to the incoming air would get the most air the soonest, and the cylinders in the back would get diminishing returns. Is there a reason most I-6 engines use intake manifolds with this configuration, instead of the air going into a header-like manifold that would get an equal amount of air to each cylinder? I'm sure this goes into complicated fluid dynamics and such, so feel free to ignore me or tell me to buzz off. EDIT: Oh yeah almost forgot the important part: those parts look great, Props! Can't wait to see them bolted up to the Z. How many cylinders are open at any one time to intake air? I am not sure? Either way the manifold will not be feeding air to all cylinders at any one time. so this should not be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proxlamus© Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Since putfile.com went under.. I'm updating this post with all the pics throughout the thread in one post.. ** This is the older design.. since this picture was taken, I purchased an aluminum welding kit for my Lincoln 120v MIG. (Thread and pictures here = http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=147521&highlight=aluminum+MIG ) I cut the runners down and re angled them to allow the plenum to fit so I don't have to use the 180* degree bend.. plus its super ugly with the rubber hose lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
