Re: homemade intake manifold vs. Edelbrock Victor x manifold

damn, i'd like to make a manifold like that. you think i could tack it together with a mig and aluminum wire, then get a shop to do the rest? anybody in or around GA know how to tig aluminum?

nice ---- man, that torque gain is amazing. that car must be the ----!

Re: homemade intake manifold vs. Edelbrock Victor x manifold

could you post some specs of the runner length and diameter?

also, by cu did you mean cubic inches or cubic centimeters?

thanks

98ctr,

How did you go about figuring out which dimensions for your intake would put the RPM range where you wanted it?

I searched for dimmensions and how it affects your rpm. Diameter and lenght of runners will affect your peek power at different rpms. Just search google, thats what I did. Read all the articles that I could find and put it into what I came up with.

Re: homemade intake manifold vs. Edelbrock Victor x manifold

well this is gonna definitely be one of my first projects when i go turbo very soon, that dyno looks so good!

i was thinkin about puttin some wg flanges in the middle of each runner so that if i want to try lengthening the runners a bit, i can just stack one more in there and bolt it back together. i'm somewhat worried about how it will seal, but it should be okay with some gaskets
