Just wondering why you didn't flare the ends of the runners more, or add internal velocity stacks inside the plennum the way the Japanese do?

Seems like you not going to get good flow into the runners because of the square edges.

yeah velocity stacks are high $$$ stuff and the runners are not square, with boost air will make it anywhere.

Lets PLEASE not get into a velocity stack flame war again... its been beat to death like 4 times now...


Now, if he puts EGR, and everyting bolts up like OEM, i'm in for one. either q45 or a stock TB... not sure yet... And that welding is beautiful... makes me wanna sell my black supra for a tig welder right now!

Man everyone has already said it. Those welds are gorgeous. I only know a handful of people that can tig like that. Myself I haven't practiced enough.

Man! is your brother Ron Ramierez or something?:aigo: those are some very beautiful looking welds! Nice looking manifold too, I didn't read every post here, but I am sure someone has mentioned blending the transition from the plenum to the runners (or add velocity stacks), also consider what Seth said about angling the back of the plenum, and you will have a heavily sought after piece. Again, very nice work, keep it up.

Ok this is one car that i made the FFIM for, and this is how it sits, runs and drives like a champ! Still have to clean up the bay, but we just wanted to see it running with the ffim :)

It looks REALLY nice, I'm glad to see it works so well. I'm curious as to how the throttle linkage was set up; did you use only stock pieces still?

Otherwise very clean and I'm now definitely considering this in a few months.

Also, why not have the bung for the vacuum booster facing it and run a shorter pipe? Did you put it where it did because you can keep the stock piping that way?

Keep up the great work

I don't pretend to know alot about welding, but I do know that when you get props from both Ron and IJ, you did good ;) I remember Ron making a whole thread just to share pictures he took of the welds on a jet engine =p

The design looks just like what Larry did for my engine when I asked to keep the runners as long as possible. "Great Minds Think Alike" and all ;) Though we added an alternator drop bracket.
