however, it does look a little bit like the manifolds for Hondas that you see for sale every once in a while... i saw one in the summit racing import catalog that was almost identical (except the TB was on the side, not the front)... and of course that one was cast, and not made out of pipe and tubing.

Airflow is my life
Well I wont pretend to know **** about forced induction cause I dont. But subsonic aerodynamics would still apply IMHO. Just cause its blown doesnt change the laws of physics. Just my $0.02

yes, i agree that physics still applies, but i think on an NA motor, the intake really needs to be tuned and efficent, but on a boosted motor, the design is slightly less critical as you're jamming the air/fuel charge down it's throat.... so even though it's still inefficent, its a cheap, easy manifold that's simple and may even work well...
*shrug*
anyone that's real knowledgeable on this stuff wanna help out?

I agree that the simple/cheap is cool. And the tubes should be fine. I'd just like to see better flow transitions from the TB into the chamber and from the chamber into the runners. And its probably less critical but still would be an inprovement I would think.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
I got a custom intake manifold made and it increased my hp #'s by 60 @ the wheels! I lost 15 foot pounds of torque though
dont ask how much it cost

thats ****** sweet....the write up was nice none the less, thats what happends when you have someone who knows what there doing with the right time/money/know-how...
Note:would love to be able to learn how to spend my time building stuff like that

I'm still thinking CF or Fiberglass intake sounds like something to try
Hey 680RWHP, Robert... I'm figuring that was for a turbocharged car? But how did you come up with measurements for that design? Just arbitrary lengths and diameters to allow for easy fitment in the engine bay? Or was there more desing involved?
