sorry for the really long time since my last update, i have been busy with a million other things but its not time to hit it hard on golfball, i got a tons of stuff in the works but here is an update on the new intake manifold.
stared with a stock manifold
chopped off the runner
removed all the extra brackets and unsused sections
chopped out the the part where the runners gonna fit
threw it on my bridgeport and machined it out a bit.
befor
after
then started welding er up.
SIDE NOTE, i had a bug land in my bead as i was welding, teach me to weld a night with the garage door open lol
couple of weld close ups (have only been welding aluminum for about 2 weeks now so i got a lot to learn but its coming along pretty quick and im seeing great improvement every time i touch the torch.
all put together.
on the car
used my the mill to make a throttle body flange to couple it to a 76 mm GM throttle body
Some finished pictures
then lastly something im very excited about and could potentially be a great idea for production, i used my stock Mitsubishi throttle body and chopped off the idle control motor to make a remote mount throttle control unit that will plug into my stock wiring harness but still allow me to use the larger 76 MM GM TB.
stay tuned because there should be A LOT of updates to follow.
