Help Wanted: Person to machine me a new TB/Intake adapter plate/flange

**PooJou** · 08-04-2007, 07:15 PM

Hey guys,
As some of you know, i'm in the process of reversing my intake so that my pod filter can draw clean cool air from behind my drivers side headlight. However I have run into problems.

I've found that:
- It fouls a large electrical connector on the TB
- It fouls the supercharger outlet
- It fouls the engine inlet pipe.

Now I've fretted about this the whole of today, trying to think of lengths of which i can cut the stock intake pipe... but i've decided it's just far too problematic and a booster plate would just make things far more complicated, as the problem was not with the reversal but the fact that the stock cast pipe is just a very ordinary design and only really designed to go one way.

So I'm asking toymods, can someone machine me an adapter plate, in the same vein as a turbo flange adapter? This way I can weld directly to the plate and not have to worry about clearances (as i can have the pipe coming straight up before it turns)

Here is a roughly drawn schematic - excuse ... the roughness.

Do you just want this out of steel?

Yeah, just so my mate can weld the rest of the intake onto it - I'm fiarly sure my measurements are correct, I can lob the actual intake pipe itself to you if you're unsure

This is my last stumbling block till I can start and finish this car.

Cheers in advance!

You pretty sure on those hole spacings?
If so i'll draw it up & can laser cut it out of 8mm as soon as tomorrow

And how big are those holes?

Hey mate,
The holes are 7mm wide - the picture is actually at 100% size so.. yeah if you save it and print it out it'll be a4 100% lol.

8mm is fine - a sixpack of your favourite is coming your way mate
