Good luck, hopefully it will make MORE power, not just look pretty.

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

looks good so far, keep us updated on how it turns out!

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

i was doing some stick welding today with that same miller welder

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

Looks like a gaping butthole :P
Interested to see how this project benefits your setup.
Good Work.

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

BTW THE RUNNERS WILL BE SMOOTHED OUT BEFORE COMPLETION! it will be like glass ;) dont want to upset the incoming air :-*

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

you look at alot of gaping buttholes?

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

your mouth looks like one in that pic :-*

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

Very nice. Please keep updating!

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

w/ a stock throttle body though

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

ITB w/ turbo dustin! ;)

You should give it to jeff for porting, i hear he loves doing that stuff. :-X

Looks like it's on it's way to being a nice mani.

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

sorry chris im too cheap to have mine overboard... but it isnt really stock, the one on there now is a 58mm B17A1 throttle body, and the CRV one is like 61mm. this will do for now till i find someone stupid enough to sell me a ITR TB for $50 ;)

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

What kind of material was the plenum made out of? What size? Where ya get it? How much? Etc... :)

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

looking good.......how are you gonna smooth out the runners?

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

True the b20 is 60 mm better then the 1st gen. Nice lookin mani

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

I hear chris does throttle bodys for online hand jobs?? :-X

mani looks good Dustin, to bad your being brain-washed with vw crap, otherwise you could really focus on your Crx ;)

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

Not true. I offered. :-[

have you guys seen these throttle bodie spacers with these rounded groves in them? you think yoou could do something like that in each runner?

Get more power out of your engine with Airaid!

Throttle Body Spacer, Aluminum, Red Anodized, Chevrolet/GMC, Each

The Poweraid TBS concept was developed to enhance mid-range power, torque, and fuel efficiency. The unique dyno-proven "Helix Bore" of the Poweraid throttle body spacers causes a spinning action of the incoming air-charge as it passes through the throttle body. This extremely beneficial air-charge carries all the way into the combustion chamber, producing a super-atomized mixture, which creates tremendous gains in mid-range power and overall efficiency. This is the key element to the horsepower success.

that's dumb. the air isn't about to start spinning in the 1 inch that the swirling ---- is going on, it's just going to cause more turbulance and possibly less air speed.

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

man you sure like to nay say.

Re:custom intake mani fab in progress! :) pics
 

i also here you can get an electric supercharger for $25 that adds 40whp! ::)

My buddy put those on his 93 Probe GT. Phenolic spacers or whatever they're called. They were a complete bitch to install, since they were for the intake manifold and throttle body. Saw maybe .4 hp increase on the dyno, but we think that was just because it was a little colder. I wouldn't waste my time/money on them.
