Plenum design idea

[twentyEight]

Joel,

Have you looked into the Honda accord V6 manifold ?

Is that a Honda V6 Mani on a 3VZ?

When are you at pick n pay next?

Yeah thats on a 1mz.. I've seen that pic before, looks like an adapter plate needs to be made up but maybe simple? Depends how hard it is to get hands on one of these manifolds for cheap R&D.

Not sure on year but Whitchy might be on the money.

Yeah that's on a 1MZ from the states the guy put it in an MR2.

The only problem i can see with it is availability and its pointing the wrong way.

Cheers

Jeremy

Pointing wrong way shouldn't be too hard to cut n shut the TB off one end and put on the other?
May end up more work than making something from scratch.

Did the guy from states post up any pics of adapter plate?

This is a good thread regarding the wood radius router stuff

If you were going to go a custom plate, then you could just design it with the Honda mani facing the correct way...

Slight bit more info from the TwoBrutal thread.

Mainifold is from a Honda Acura CL-S/TL-S.

Still no information yet about an adaptor plate but i'm also trying to work while searching...

cant just turn it round and make the adaptor plate to suit?

/edit beaten to it...

how important are the bellmouths leading from the plenum into the runners?

i built mine without and am now thinking it may need them

How important is sex? You can live without it but would you want to?

same for the bellmouths

Joel, I should be swinging by the wreckers this arvo, so will have a look for a mani for you whilst I'm there.

[andrew_mx83]

hmmm, the plenum is made of 6mm plate, maybe i can just radius the edges off and have it sort of like getting a handjob. its not the same but will still get me off

[SillyCarS]

that router idea is killer! and makes it 100% flush, not like what i was thinking

[TurboRA28]

Justin, how thick would the baseplate need to be for the router idea to work ya reckon?
