Oh yeah, it looks great! Lets see some more work.

Damn thats what I call a an intake. Nice smooth transition into the runners. no velosity stacks to cause turbulance. I want one !!!!

Are you keeping track of how much filler rod you are using on that manifold?:lol: That sucker is beefy, I dont think you will have to worry about it popping under high boost.

We like BIIIG boost...breaking welds on anything we put together is NOT an option.

That is cool looking. Will the plenum be square or round and to make those rounded sections, did you 1/4 a tube and use the sections or shape flat sheets?

I like the plenum/runner transition you have. Reminds me of the DVDT intake manifold. I don't fully understand the reasons for velocity stacks protruding into the plenum, but to me that design just looks much better. But again I am no fluid dynamics expert, but just in general that looks like it'd work better. Any experts care to chime in on that?

I think it will work, and I did use a 1/4 of 2" round tube to make the end of the runners, I plan for the plenum to be round as well. Most of the manifold will be inside/outside welded and welding the runners onto the flange took a lot of amps, but not to much rod, about 1/4 to 1/2 of a rod to make it on one side. After the intake its onto the endtank for the IC then fuel system install.

I did plan on making at least 2 smim's once we make a kick ass design that works good on paper and the dyno, so if all goes well we could produce the manifolds, but to make due they would be spendy unless we outsorced the work like everyone else in the smim market.

I worked on my car this weekend.

Wiring sucks, pics to come soon.
