Recieved the flange for the new Intake manifold today,fits great!...it was machined from a solid piece of alloy,and took some serious time to complete,havent coped the bill yet but it will be ugly for sure...
the manifold will be mated to a 70mm Skunk TB which will do away with the smaller DBW unit...though initially i will run the DBW until the engine has been run in before swapping to the MoTeC ECU and Skunk TB...


Here you can see we have retained the OEM rubber gaskets...as we can always add a thermal gasket later if it needs it...
the crank vents have been machined only into the outer ports so will change it to link both(like OEM)


The upstands where machined so the 50mm runners could be welded neatly and avoid warpage of the flange...
the ports are yet to be tappered from the upstand to the flange mating surface to suit the 3mm runner pipe wall and the injector holes need a tapper to suit the o-rings.


heres the flange mounted on the head with the injectors,still debating replacing the fuel rail for added flexability with the fuel lines...



Theres also a possibility i could replicate this manifold again for alot less in the future as we saved the machining co-ordinates which took a huge amount of time to achieve!...
