Re: Anyone build their own Intake Manifold?
Found this pretty nice little write-up on the Galant VR-4 forums. I can't wait to get home and start doing some of this!

Re: Anyone build their own Intake Manifold?
I sure don't. Just like this guy, I'm going to make it, and then bring it to a pro to have it welded. I have 2 places in mind right now. Do you happen to know any locals that would be up for doing it? Once I get home, I plan on heading up to Discount Steel on will-call Saturday and grab the pieces I need. Hopefully they have some good stuff in their scrap bins!
I'm basically going to copy his write-up. There may be a few differences though. If I can find some D-shaped aluminum for cheap, I'll use that instead of the box shaped like he used. Also, I'm going to see if my buddies dad (who's a machinest) can use his mill to make the radius's in that flange. Otherwise, I'll use a router just like he did.

saved you from having to pay for a welder, AND it looks pretty strong

Re: Anyone build their own Intake Manifold?
As for the holes, I want them radiused, just like his are. Nice smooth transition. One of my best friend's dad is a machinest, and he may be able to do it for me at his work. If not, well we have a drill press and can get the holes done ourselves, and I will just use a router to make the radiused entries like he did. As for the welding, ya just let me know if you know anyone. Otherwise we know a welder in Maple Grove that works in the same complex LSE used to be in. Or I may have Kyle at MAP do it.

Re: Anyone build their own Intake Manifold?
I finally remembered to talk to him today. He said it would be fairly cheap. He didn't really mention a price but he mentioned something about some gloves that i have been giving to him at work. he wants a pack of those lol. I'm guessing the pack is like $20-30. But i'll know for sure whenever i get a picture to him or the actual item.
