Front facing Intake manifolds

[sao1]

My idea of a FFIM has always been like Veilside and Virtual Works, but i guess we can always think outside of the box...

Correct the alternator is moving to where the ac is. I can make a short runner that keeps the alternator in its place, but it wont look as "clean" IMHO But since I love making stuff I'll make one anyway and post pictures:icon_bigg

If you make one compelete with throttle body, let me now :icon_bigg

I meant with a Tb included in the deal. Not just flanged for a Q45 TB. I shall be fabbing up another short runner tomorrow and post pics. It will look worlds nicer than the prototype.

Thanks for all the interest guys!

I have a slight technical update. The of the plenum on this is about 5 liters. Im still working on my alternator relocation so if your interested in one hold in there, I'm not going to jump the gun and sell something I wont stand behind.

Started on the non prototype version of my short runner This time there is much more attention to detail and not so much "hurry to get it done" I'm just about done with my design for the alternator relocation bracket and tensioner. So Im stopping by the machine shop tomorrow to get the ball rolling on throttle body flanges and ISC and CSI flanges. Price is still very undetermined so far. The more I have into them the more they will cost.
Heres a couple of pics from todays start on them.

Thanks for the interest,

Doesn't seem like it would benefit a GE much tremendously, eh...

For a ge I wouldn't suggest a short runner manifold. The flow pattern to all ports wouldn't be as good as stock. Just a guess.

im interested, i just dont know if id be able to buy one. being a full time student doesnt leave much time to make money. :3d_frown:

 

[roundfinger]

I would be interested in either a short or long runner as long as the stock connectors are available, and i cant go w/o ac. Moving the batt to the back wouldnt kill me tho...
Cant wait to see the final versions and of course cost.

 

[funky_monkey58]

I should have some more pics late tonight when I get off work I plan on continuing final build work on the manifold.

sorry for the offtopic, but what is the bennefit of a longrunner ffim?

Low RPM torque? But most of the power comes on after the turbo kicks in so I don't know on these engines.

:Update machine shop has my plans for the isc flanges and some q45 throttle bodies. Will have them in hand friday.

 

[funky_monkey58]

Got my flanges back today heres some pics.

 

[Justin727]

awesome flange! Can't wait to see the finished product for sure!
