WizardBlack Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Fuel rails might be fun with that setup, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star2nr Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 My personal favorite design I like that pressure qualiser tube concept, and yeah an aftermarket intake looks soo much better than the god awefull stock mani Personally I would go twin T/B, because its simpler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 That looks awesome. I think I saw that on a another site. Some guy who's goal is to run 9 flat in the 1/4. I LOVE the design as well. His entire setup nearly brought a tear to my eye. The intercoolers are pretty sweet too. I'd love to have this setup. The z32 has a bit less room under the hood from the looks of it, but I'd love to fab those intake plenums. I wonder how they're made inside... Whether they're just hallow, or if they've got a special setup for the airflow. I was thinking something very similar, except, instead of the dual throttle bodies, ITBs under the plenums, obviously no throttle bodies at the front on them, and using to large air filters in front of the turbos. Either way, a very cool design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardBlack Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Anyone know what the lower portion of the plenums are made from on the pic two posts up? I know rearranging stock lower plenum pieces is close, but it isn't exact. The injectors are not in a straight line; nor are the inlets to the plenum pieces.

Crash Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 The driver's side plenum sits a little further back because the ITBs below them are set back a little. I believe I read that those plenums are made out of aluminum. The website I found these on didn't say much about them, though. The site is http://www.zparts.com/showcase/engines/pages/q45v8z-testfit.html I assume that they're quite simple in design. The only reason they're there is to make sure the ITBs get the forced induction air. No special guilds or runners would be necessary inside since the ITBs have their own trumpets and runners. I've seen people do the exact same thing with simple aluminum air-tank-like cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying they fabbed their own lower plenum pieces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 HAHA! You're right. I read it wrong. Must be standard ITB runners (Trumpets) only I read about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan5138 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hmm all this talk about intake and exhaust, and I start cooking up some ideas of my own. Anyone know if you can put a right hand head on the left and vice versa? If you could run the exhaust on top of the engine it would be easy to run 180* headers . Might have to make some firewall mods, and keep a fire extinguisher handy when your hood catches on fire, lol. However I believe you can do this on the Cadillac Norstar engines. Anyone try to do this yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
