Nice work. Not a very popular motor. Why did you choose that one?

It's a very reliable motor. No one gives it a chance. I decided to build it to see what it can do.

If you ever want a bored throttle body I have been doing more dsm stuff lately for factory bored units.


Looks good

looks nice, but why so many bends on the #1 and #2 runners? seems like a waste

Ya I did all the work on the car. Here's a few pics of the car back when it had a 4g63 in it.

Nice work & nice thread, people here should take a hint. As in finish their shit before posting. :yes:

I'd really have suggested straight tubes for those runners. In that configuration, the pulse doesn't follow the radius, so it wouldn't get closer to equal-length. The other downside is how it jacks up flow. 22.5* elbows don't restrict much, but a whole lot more than a straight tube. Or are you trying to prevent laminar air flow?

If I could have used straight tube for those runners I would. Those angles were needed to clear the block.
