Picked up the intake from MI. When I removed the plastic wrapping, I saw that the tube had a manufacturing defect which had nothing to do with either shipping, or Jeff or Garm so I'm dealing directly with Injen.
 The tubing was crumpled where the machine gripped it to swedge down the MAF sensor area. Why they went ahead and polished the dents and sent it out is beyond me. Adrian, at customer service is making it right by sending out a good tube that isn't crumpled. Got the tooter et back from Bill at Ajax Welding...  Now I can mount it on the engine to locate the proper attitude of the throttle body base/bellmouth in relation to the hemisphere. Il!~~60_1.JPG) That manifold on ebay ended up selling for just $250 including shipping which is a pretty good deal for an alloy intake. |

Put the tooter et mockup on the engine to position the throttle body.
 Because the plenum is a hemisphere, the throttle body is free to be rotated and angled in any direction.   I also installed the stock air box as an alignment tool to precisely line up the body for a good fit.

Genius! I'm still curious about how the hemisphere will be mated to the manifold. Or did you cover that already?

This is the next step... punch a hole to insert the bellmouth.
 Hey Cranky, The plan is to get a round piece of 1/8th inch aluminum plate to fit the hemisphere, and cut out the rounded square shape of the runner retainer. There will be two welding steps. First, weld the plate onto the manifold runner retainer, and then weld the hemisphere onto the plate. I'll also be inserting three aluminum tubes where the blue dots are for the hoses, so they'll also need to be welded into place. Last edited by tooter; 06-02-2013 at 10:25 PM. |

 The manifold will be a lot more compact because a hemisphere is the most volume efficient shape for a plenum. This will move the throttle body to the left which is closer to its original stock location. I'm totally curious as to what the effect will be as there are no flat surfaces for the reflected pulses from the mouths of the runners to bounce off of. The entire inner surface of the plenum, including the 180 degree rounded bellmouth of the throttle body bore, is 100% curved. I just gotta find out what will happen. And the sales of the tooter products have bought the freedom to explore...
