Billet intakes. Lets discuss.

[JSK]

Hey guys,

 

I have the itch to come up with a drawing of billet intakes for our l28 engines. Consisting of the intake flange,Intake runners with flanges on both ends, and the intake box. No welding required.

 

Just want to start a discussion and what your thoughts may be.

 

Of course I will make every step possible to make it affordable.

 

Thanks in advance Juan

Go for it. Use some 1/4", 3/16", 1/2", 3/4" billet plates and bars, some extruded tubing, and bolt them together in the shape of an intake. It might be tough to get rounded flow lines unless you start with BIG billets and hog out tons of material though. $$$$

 

I would love to see your creation. Go for it.

 

Me personally, I would do it all with extruded aluminum tubing and have it welded. I would like to see you design around the no-welding constraint. Should be interesting.

 

You might want to go all-out and incorporate multiple throttle plates as an option.

Thanks Ill take what you said into consideration.

Intake sizing would be very dependent on:

 

1. Aspiration type (N/A or Turbo).

2. Cam selection.

3. Valve sizing.

4. Port work.

5. Throttle body or carburation.

Way to expensive, for complete billet. You have to be rational. Welding some tubes on an flange, and plentum is so easy, and cheap.
