what radius bend is that? I like the increased length of the pipe before the port, should give the air a nice path. If you wouldn't mind keeping the numbers for that manifold around till later this summer, it would be appreciated https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

opps. i'm an idiot, I didn't paste the URL into the post.



Here ist eh place that does mandrel bends, for a very good price. It's 6063, not 6061 which is lots more $$$ since u have to turn it into O grade then after the bend re-heat treat it to T6.

Promical dissappeared early last year. No contact info, no e-mail







BUT NEVAH FEAR!!!! BANZAI IS HERE: I have located a reasonably priced source of 6061 AL Bends, only down side is they dont have 180º bends or anything over 90º. If there is enough interest I will list it in my webpage

That looks like about what I have planned for my runner length. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

I have been busy in the shop with a bandsaw, razor knife, foamboard and a hot glue gun!



This is the runner hot-glued to a foam-board flange. I am not happy with it yet. There is a "kink" in the lower portion. Tommorow I will adjut the angle of incidence into the ITB. But I am very pleased with the concept.



Couple of things I have to do:



1.Torque limiter strap to prevent intake from hitting the strut tower

2. Heat Shield to limit heat xfer to intake

what you need is a SLA rapid prototyping machine. So you can grow your parts.

G2G: That tube is 3.5" CLR



Cheers: I WISH!!!!!!!!





Some further points. I have 2" Clearance above the injector rail, I am going to reduce that to 1" (For hood clearance)

Ok, spent the morning measuring and hacking away. I have completed a runner I am satisfied with. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif
