Anyone build their own Intake Manifold?

Re: Anyone build their own Intake Manifold?
Thanks for the link! It'd be nice if they sold a 2.5" stack though. I think that I need to have a 2.25" tube where it meets the head flange. But I want it to be a little larger coming out of the IM so I can have it taper down to 2.25" gradually all the way to the head flange.
I did find these stacks for pretty cheap, but I'll have to contact them because they don't mention the material it's made of, or the length.

they are sold at Auto Barn for $23 which is the best price I've found yet.

EDIT: Just found them here for even cheaper. http://turbofriendly.com/velocity.html

What size is the stock runner on a DSM intake mani?You going to weld to the stock flange just lop the runners off or buy make a new flange?Mike Weir can probably cut you a flange he is the man for that Is there a benefit to coming out of the intake mani large and tapering down vs just one size the whole way i dont know just asking?I think you want the total volume of plenum and runners to be 2-3 times the displecement but that is just a guess.

Re: Anyone build their own Intake Manifold?
just throwing some parts to gether to make an intake mani isnt a great idea. sure longer runners are better for down low, and big runners are for top end but it is more than just a general statement. there are a lot of things to consider,like, how big can you make the runners w/out sacrificing too much velocity??
there is more to manifolds than just runners and a plenum.

Re: Anyone build their own Intake Manifold?
What you should do is look at a stock piece and analyze it while thinking about the objectives of the engine. Like if you have a high revving motor like a B16B you look at the IM design and compare it to a B20 IM. This is just an example, but you get the idea. From there I would go about modifying a stock IM to preserve an OEM look while getting the performance edge a performance IM would give.

IMO, your IM isn't the problem with power dropping off. What size turbo do you have? (FYI, big 16g, isn't "big.") Also, what cams are you running? Tubular or are your still on the crappy log manifold?

I believe I have some .pdf articles too, if i do I'll pass them on to ya. IF you don't have/cant find some more math formulas I should have them.
Is choping off the stock plenum and welding a larger one on an option? You could add a larger TB of you choice, the runners could be shortened and you know the injectors are at somewhat of a "good" angle.

There are alot of routes to go with manifold work. Plenum volume and velocity are issues that need to be addressed. Really ported properly factory units atleast in the Honda world own most of the stuff out there. My dual throttle body manifold for my b20 is almost done. Naturally asspirateddd junk

Thanks for all the links though, I will be digging through them all!
