So apparently it's quite easy to make your own peri housings, just drill a big hole and press in an aluminum sleeve. And I suppose drill/tap holes for the manifold.



What is done with the ports in the side plates? Obviously filled but with what?



Are there intake manifolds available or would that be strictly custom?



How much power would a guy be looking at out of a 13B? 12A?

na 13b's will make about 320hp, streetable is relative, but the pp is gonna be a little hardcore for a driver.

what is undriveable about a bridge port? I always hear "rough idle" and such, but I haven't read specifics.



and what about bridging the 5th and 6th ports...affect driveability?

Easier than what I thought it would be - mainly in the $$$ department, as apparently you don't really need to buy custom or factory peri housings, you can modify regular housings.



Bridging the 5th and 6th port is the other thing I was thinking about, and might still do - that would be totally streetable. Just wouldn't have nearly the power.



mmm



power



peripheral



Anyways - back to filling the side housing ports, and finding manifolds . . . ???
