I am sure the mounting flange is symmetrical so that it can. The issue is that the way the TB is angled would not be the best of our cars.

That's simple corrections in the CNC program

Not as simple as it seems. Everyone assumes its a hit of a few buttons easy But anyhow, here you go:



Sooo...If the FWD SR guys dont mind the IACV and vacuum bar being on top of the manifold, then the new billet plenum will work
.
If there are SERIOUS interest, I will look into making the adapter piece for the throttle body.

Thanks for being patient with the FWD faithful, sometimes we're our own worst enemy when it comes to new products that could be available for all but not affordable for most. Hope someone here can try this out & give us some feedback.

In theory, the design is pretty similar to this one from Skunk2 for the Honda's as mentioned early before. They state that their standard one is about 3.5L in volume. I think im going to get this one tested & flow benched and see what it flows. It may very well work for N/A apps too just dont know it. Alot of people just assume right off the bat its for turbo only. Honda N/A guys are making good power with this:

Andreas Miko brought up something about some of the more powerful newer oem intake manifolds made by some manufacturers... They aremade of plastic. They didn't get as hot, and help with keeping intake air dense

I have thought about making one out of fiberglass. How strong does it have to be? One could make a multi-piece mold, it may not look pretty but it might work. I would still use a metal flange to attach to the head and house the injectors, but it could be fiberglass after that. To make it even easier you could use the whole lower runners.

I was thinking the same thing but 3d printing it with ABS. My issue is right now that current 3d printers in my price range don't support a large enough base to get the job done. figured some aluminum sheet to mount up to the lower runners and prevent any deformation as well as another sheet cut to mount up to the tb. I figured initial cost would be about $2000 but every one after that could be made for under $20 worth of materials.

NA I wouldn't see any issue with fiberglass as the material, id only worry about boosting it and having it pop like a party balloon.
