Edit end.



As some of you may know, I have been making these manifolds for at least 3 years now. Been running the long runner style on my car for longer than that. Thought I formally post here and see how it goes. Anyways, below are pictures of both styles that I make. The long runner style flows ~280cfm per runner. I need an upper plenum and lower alternator bracket cores for this one. It is priced at $600.00 with brackets, plus shipping.

The other style is the short runner/big plenum style that flows over 300 cfm per runner. I need a lower manifold as a core for this one, and upper plenum if you want the Idle Speed Control provision. It is priced at $950.00 including a one piece billet aluminum alternator bracket, plus shipping.

Here's one I made for our friend in Denmark.

Bottom view if you prefer the ISC provision and vacuum ports to be hidden.


As you can see, I have made them with or without provisions for ISC, cold start injector and flanged for just about any throttle body you prefer to use. The long runner style retains the A/C system while the short runner style doesn’t, at least until I design another alternator bracket. I can also provide a modified aftermarket throttle cable for the cost of just the cable but need your stock one for it. If interested, or for any questions, please send an e-mail to ronram7728@aol.com

On very rare occassions (because of my schedule and workload) I can also make a turbo header.
Too many pictures on this post already so if you are interested, please check the links below.

How much for the turbo header? Also, would you consider doing some form of GB or discount on a set of both Intake manifold and turbo header w/throttle body cable?

[Mr.SelfDestruct]

Agreed it's making it hard to justify making my own!

Thanks guys.
Anomili, I sent you a pm. Lexustech, just LMK. 935motorsports, I think one of the reasons these things are keeping me busy is because they are reasonably priced. Most will increase prices after selling so many, or quality drops. I keep mine the same even when materials costs fluctuate. Quality is also never compromised. IJ, you got pm about the bracket.

Ron,
Other than what you supply with the kit and the IC piping, what has to be relocated or what modifications are required on a stock setup?
It looks like the battery has to be relocated? And maybe a hole has to be put in the chassis for the piping.
