1 fast z Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Ok, so here is some pictures of what the manifold flanges are. They are shown without the injector holes, as that is on a order basis, as some people want to put the injectors somewhere OTHER than the flange for atomazation reasons. They are made on our Matsurra 1000VS2 Machine. They have 1.625" Intake Bores, which is perfect size for 1.375" ID tubing. They are all profiled on our CNC as well. No bandsaw cutting here! Great start to get you started on your own custom intake, as you can build an intake pretty easy once you have a Flange. Will fit all cylinder heads that came on a 240z, 260z, 280z, 280zx and L6 Maximas. Price is 160 without Injector Holes, and 190 With. Some people put the injectors up away from the head for better atomiziation, so thats why we give you guys the choice. Pictures are shown without injector holes. Intakes should always be port matched for better performance to YOUR head, and port job.

1 fast z Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Yea I had to make a flange for a custom intake, so I figured I might as well build a "few" extra. This machine works great for doing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators RTz Posted July 14, 2007 Administrators Share Posted July 14, 2007 Hi Brian, I can appreciate the work you've put into those flanges, been there myself. Your work is always top notch... not trying to discredit. Being down this path before, I have learned one or two things... It looks like the middle of your flange doesn't have enough clearance for the header flange. Picture below illustrates that portion being above the centerline of the runners, whereas it looks like your flange is at the centerline.... . . Also, its a bit hard to tell by the picture, but thermostat housing clearance is suspect, as well as the area directly below the runner. I tapered my flange inboard for this reason. It may be deceiving, since my runners are a bit larger, 1.750" OD.... . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 fast z Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 I see, it, Ill fix it, Ill throw them in the cnc in the morning, to get it done, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 fast z Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Ok, I remachined them, and tested against a turbo manifold, header, and NA manifold, and all clears perfectly. Heres the new pics. By The Way, the surface finish is alot better than the pictures depict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest znow white Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 good call ron , I like your flange better especially seeing it in the 3d solid edge drawing. Also from an engineering and manufacturing point of view yours looks more structurally durable and less vulernable to stress. especially on top of the flange that bevel and the roundess at the bolt holes. good work Ron I know your selling the complete intake however are you selling the flange alone? and the middle flange for the intake you were helping justin on?

1 fast z Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 I built a flange for the average person, so that they can afford one. Not trying to impress anyone, as I do that with time slips on my own cars. These are just out there for the low spender that wants to build there custom intake. As far as a solid drawing, if thats what impresses you, then WOW. I am certified in mastercam, as well as solidworks, so solid drawings are EASY.

A header flange is commonly 1/2". Since they both share the same stud & washer, how are you making up the difference in height between the two? Ron I know your selling the complete intake however are you selling the flange alone? and the middle flange for the intake you were helping justin on? Thanks. Justin is putting together orders for both flanges, largely based on my own, starting at post #132... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=111342&page=7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators RTz Posted July 16, 2007 Administrators Share Posted July 16, 2007 ...you can see allot of thought and work was put into it not the welding though jk Ron No need to kid... you're right. That weldor has been 'removed from the project' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 fast z Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Nope, flanges are .625" thick, works great with nismo headers, as they are .625" thick also, or close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbleguinea Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 *sigh* selling parts before they are 100% correctly made... sounds like something you told me a little while ago bryan? or am i wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I think the discussion was about selling options on parts someone said they had, but didn't in all actuality posess. But what does that have to do with a photograph of flanges that are available for sale (obviously so, since there is a photograph of them)? I'm missing that connection, if there is one at all. I'm waiting to see what the "protest" with the SCTA holds for the Bonneville Car, I may be making my own manifold with Turbo Usages much earlier than I had anticipated. So this thread interests me on that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
