Looks great! Are you going to bling it up with a polished fuel rail?

tooter · 07-21-2012, 10:11 PM

I'm a linear one-step-at-a-time person, and only focus my attention on what needs to be done right now.

I'm still at #1.

1. Flange Fit.
2. Throttle Body Fit.
3. Weld.
4. Blast.
5. Clean.
6. Dyno.

I get that, but I'd still put fuel rail in there somewhere so I didn't have to take all that stuff apart, maybe 5.5.

I'm not going to make any other changes while working on this manifold. They would only complicate the process which I want to be as simple and direct as possible.

It's really easy to get in way over your head by making multiple changes at the same time, so I'm going to completely avoid that situation simply by not doing it.

5a. Drive
5b. Disconnect the battery to clear the CEL (after noting the error code)
5c. Repeat.

Just kidding, I am truly hoping those steps aren't included.

I have no idea... this is all new to me.

You know far more about that than I do since you have years of experience with your manifolds and are a lot farther along in the process than I am. They certainly have to have been test run by now. Have any of your own short or longer runner manifolds triggered check engine lights? And if they did, how did you address them?

One decided advantage is that the throttle body and engine on either side of my manifold are in exactly the same bone stock condition as with the OEM manifold.

So with the manifold itself as the only change I don't anticipate any issues. With no alteration of the size or profile of the actual entry and exit ports, utilizing all of the stock gasketing to insure a leak free design, and designing all of the adaptations to be smoothly transitioned, I'm optimistic that it will be just fine.

The check engine light issue would be greatly complicated if there were other concurrent changes being made. It would be much more difficult to address. This is why I'm focused just on making this one mod and nothing else.

Changing one thing at a time is a great strategy. There have been many times I wish I followed it, both on my cars and in my life.

That is an OK strategy for "almost stock" type builds.

If you go "full race" type build you gotta jump in with both feet.

But after you do that build, it's still better to change one thing at a time, when possible, or you'll never know what change made the difference, either way.

Here's a pic of a gasket fit during the CNC of the throttle body adaptor...

These guys are artists!

cali yaris · 07-23-2012, 10:18 AM

I like it.

BEEF · 07-23-2012, 10:22 AM

so.....time to head to the welder?

tooter · 07-23-2012, 11:16 AM

No welder yet...

Today I go to the shop after work to return the flange that was hand filed to fit to the engine, so they can input the corrected dimension data and CNC another flange...

...then I go to the welder.

vten · 07-23-2012, 12:01 PM

Project is looking good tooter !

BEEF · 07-23-2012, 12:02 PM

so they are going to mill you out another flange? are you paying for every time you use them or is it one fee? you could just used the filed one.

sorry, being impatient. I like this little project. regrardless of the gains, it is going to look mighty mean on the front of that engine.
