Custom inlet manifold

[audiman]

Thats it. Doug and Mark have been banging on at me to do this for ages now. So has Mihnea come to think about it. So its time for me to do this.

I want to keep the rad in the original position and also want to keep the AC. So this means either buying an MTM or Dalhback manifold. The problem with these items is the cost. I dont have that much money lying around to waste on a manifold.

So i have come to the conclusion that im gonna build a Dalhback replica. Same type of design (as it looks trick). Now im gonna be needing an old 3B or ABY manifold, so if anyone has one lying around doing nothing, PM me.

Gonna hack the 'legs' of the manifold and weld on an ally 'box'.

Any tips, apart from not letting Mark weld it up

Mark has an old chopped up manifold - I think Lee has it just now.

you need this for your inlet www.g-e-t.biz/

Hi,

I think its worth it to read "the motor vehicle" 13th edition, Chapter 13 induction design. As well as a few books about fluid dynamics. That helps to understand the theory behind air flow and etc.

Hope this will help u designing inlet manifold.

I`m gonna do the same thing with an old ABY manifold, i have made a mold out of the Wagner inlet manifold (from jeffer). At least i made a steel frame to bolt on the old flange and the throtle body and i`m gonna weld 5 new equal runners with a dahlback style box on it. Will post some pictures of it when i`m starting to weld the aluminium. I`m doing this with a TIG welder.

Cees, I have heard good things about yourself from a good friend of mine Mihnea! Would love to see how you get on with yours. Im not sure when i will start this project, but it is going to be fairly soon.

Oki Tom,

What did Mihnea told you

Well we keep in touch then, and let me know when your starting, i`ll post some pictures over here when i start cutting and welding.

Cheers Cees

Nothing bad, dont worry. He was saying what a nice person you were. And thats the truth.

Interesting intake manifold on this S2 in Norway:

Curious what they are doing for the radiator.

Anyone know this car?

It looks to be a very sensible idea and cuts the inlet path down a lot. I can't work out about the radiator, I will look again.

I didn't see a radiator either. It may be a work in progress photo, and they don't have it in yet.

Looks like it was still being built.

Nice work

Thats nice and practical for my road car then!! LOL

Look's like dalback has a new intake manifold design forsale:

Not so bad and looks like it's alot like mtm's setup.

Sorry for the thread hijack audiman figured I post.

Cheers
