Custom intake manifold designs.

[treetechsixOH]

Tell me what you guys think. I didn't include the alt bracket, fan shroud mount, intake horn flange ect ect, but I plan for this to be used on stock engine applications. I think it would flow well and wouldn't be too hard to build. Ill have the flanges water cut or cnc.






Just a basic design but you get the idea.

I like the idea. It seems simple enough. As discussed in your other thread on a different forum, is the question of how the air will flow. I think it is more of a challenge to get the air to flow like you think it will. I say test it out and see how it goes.

I'm going to look into it.

I don't have the software to do these things but I did something similar on my 63 Galaxie with a 4.6 in it. I'd say run primaries to the flanges in a curved manner an don't block off the back of it. Curve the ends right at the last runners. Curving the runners would help turn the direction of the flow easier and might get you the clearance needed to get short studs in the heads for the mounting flanges. Plus, the curved end might help with the clearance of the turbo at the back on both sides but mainly the turbine housing on the passenger side. It's alot more mfg work but if you're building it for performance, go all out.

Also, I'm no engineer but what material are you thinking about? It's not the hot exhaust side so using sch 40 or 80 isn't necessary but I'd think more than std thin walled tubing might be better. The pressures are lower than the exhaust side but the heat might dissipate better with thicker tubing. I don't know......Any smart guys want to elaborate?

Great Cad work and thinking there. Keep going and you could be marketing them to all of us.

Dave, we've been discussing this design over in the army. Its getting pretty deep. Wall thickness is the least of my worries right now. You might check it out over there.

I think I've been to that forum once to see the homemade version of the Go-Go design. Where's it at? I'm very interested in a new intake after seeing hte maze of crap in the stocker.

That's the one. Thanks!
