General rule of thumb is ake the plenum size 1.5 times the swept displacement. Two liter engine = three liter plenum.

I would base the ports off of the stock manifold. Making them a little shorter biases powerband upward. Making them bigger around raises the choke point of airflow. Make your changes small to modest is my best recommendation, you can make the car a real dog if you aren't careful.

Anything that comes with a crappy IM usually comes with crappy cam(s). Plan accordingly.

Thanks alot

i think i go the lazy way with ibs + plenum and call it skyline style

why is designing a intake mani not so easy like an Exhaust mani

God bless Corky bell and his book about turbos

BTW
i hate this head design look at the injector position
