JustinOlson Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Has anyone test fit a holley high ram intake manifold? I'm curious to use one with the throttle pointed back towards the firewall to an under dash mounted intercooler.

JustinOlson Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Here are some dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Gadsby Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Methinks it won't fit. The stock ls1/ls6 measures out around 6", that one looks even taller than the truck intake which will not fit without hood modification. If you are willing to chop up the hood, anything is possible.

RebekahsZ Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Have you read the recent Hot Rod magazine article that compared intake manifolds? It was for n/a motors, but in that article the taller manifolds didn't really make any more power over the FAST 102. Curious to see what you find in your research.

JustinOlson Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 I imagine it will protrude through the hood a bit. The plan was to pass the charge pipe above the valley and under the plenum to a bulkhead fitting through the firewall. This would allow a clean setup with plenty of room for twins. Still deciding what direction I want to go. I may just do a single with a air/air and an LS3 intake manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zfan1 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 After reading that article I went with a Fast 102 and Nick Williams DBW throttle body on my LSX 436, I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainburon Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 That's what I went with too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathaninwa Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 My sheetmetal intake measure 10 inches from the valley and it's about 1 inch from the hood facing forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastTnZ Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 My sheetmetal intake measure 10 inches from the valley and it's about 1 inch from the hood facing forward I envy your intake and metal fabrication skills. The intake looks awesome!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathaninwa Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Thank you. I'm pricing one out right now for a member. I really enjoy doing custom work like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeboost Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) It doesn't fit. I even have a subtle cowl hood and it still won't clear, looks like I need another almost 2" of clearance. It's just the front of the intake (where throttle body bolts up), everything else fits (with my cowl hood anyways). I'm considering machining down the manifold flange and maybe shimming the engine down, but my oil pan is already pretty low so that'll probably be a last resort.

Datsun-EBZ Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 After reading that article I went with a Fast 102 and Nick Williams DBW throttle body on my LSX 436, I love it! How much taller does the Fast 102 and Nick Williams throttle body sit vs the stock intake manifold and throttle body. Any hood clearance issues? Is there room for a strut brace to be made?

Zfan1 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I run a louvered stock hood and have zero clearance issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
