Nice setup. I like the surgetank the upper IC pipe (nice and short)

 

Thanks, guys.

 

The surge tank is integral with the plenum, and includes a summing network across the top of the plenum, for summing the vacuum sources from each cylinder. This also allows the IAC to be integrated into the assembly without any additional hoses. There is another small tank integrated in at the back of the plenum (also connected to the summing network), for supplying vacuum to the booster and other accessories.

 

I plan on summing vacuum sources to a seperate summing network for the MAP sensor and FPR, so that I can keep them isolated from fluctuations from the accessories. Also, this will allow the engine to run with the plenum disconnected (i.e., if I want to sync the TBs).

 

At the inlet, I angle cut a 3" velocity stack to give a smooth transition into the plenum. Since I did the welding in several small steps, I was also able to make sure that the inlet was pointed directly at the pass through point for the intercooler piping, so no S-bends were necessary there.

 

I still need to add a flange for the boost recirculation (blowoff) valve, and some tabs to mount the heat shield to.

 

I have the old exhaust manifold installed for mockup purposes, since I don't have the SFP header back yet. It's getting close...
