S30TRBO Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have it mocked up on my ATK L28E for now. When I convert to EFI I will test it inside the car. Tested N42 Intake Manifold looks good and clears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamH Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 That thing looks beautiful on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 That manifold will definitely make a difference in power. The SFP manifold I had made a power gain I felt instantly, and this one looks to be a much better piece. Get that baby JetHot coated!!

Sparks280zt Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Looks nice, are you still running your turbo motor n/a with carbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30TRBO Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Get that baby JetHot coated!! You know it! Looks nice, are you still running your turbo motor n/a with carbs? I did, now I have to give the SU back "new owner is waiting" and she will get plumbed for EFI. I have some parts waiting. The ITB's will be on it until the middle of summer. I have some traveling to do overseas this year then another intake manifold and turbo will go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 why not get a plenum for the itb's??? maybe accurate injection will have theres done by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Man, you almost want a clear intake manifold or something that wraps over the valve cover to show off that header. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30TRBO Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 why not get a plenum for the itb's??? maybe accurate injection will have theres done by then. I have already talked to Kevin concerning the plenum. I haven't decided if I want to plenum the ITB's. I am hearing mixed reviews on using them vice an intake manifold with runners and a plenum. I have an N42 non EGR or I can have someone that can make me an intake and use the Q45 90mm throttle body I have had for years. I am also hearing mixed reviews especially on this forum on using the Q45 "bigger isn't always better". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also hearing mixed reviews especially on this forum on using the Q45 "bigger isn't always better". I found this to be especially true on forced induction. It was a different engine (not an L-series), but it was a creation of my own. 3.2L V6, T3 turbo, Mitsu Satrion FMIC, home made headers, 8.9:1 SCR, Crane 260-2 cam, 2.5" exhaust, with cat and either no muffler or Supertrapp muffler (sorry I don't recall if I had the muffler removed by that time), 1985 GMC Jimmy, somewhere around 3200 lbs, 3.73 final drive gear. Anyway I had a 56mm TB, ran a best of with that TB of about 14.2 IIRC, swapped the TB to a 52mm, and immediatly ran a 13.8. Now, this may not have been just an issue of too large a TB, because I am confidant I would have been able to use the 56mm TB, provided I had a better flowing intake manifold. So I think it was more of a matching between the TB and what was behind that TB in matching flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeZ Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Has anyone attempted to use this type of welded manifold to make a casting for aluminum or cast iron? Please understand that I know nothing about casting or welding, but I was told that the reason, Tom Wyatt III's (Turbo Tom) turbo systems was durable because the exhaust manifold was casted (iron) and not welded.
