Nice job Chris !!! Keep us update.

Finally got around to test fitting my intake, the way i built it, i can have the throttle body facing either direction, it'll face the tranny side when i run it N/A for the first part of the season, then it'll face the pulley side once i get the turbo installed

The first test was hood clearance, i reached my hand through the grille to get this pic.... about 1/4" clearance lol



And the intake itself




But when i put the throttle body on the intake i have clearance issues to deal with


This way, the throttle body hits the fuel rail



And i don't really need to explaing the issues here



What i will do to fix the clearance issues on the pulley side is i'll build a bolt-on extension for the throttle body

For the tranny side i decided to see what happens if i flipped the fuel rails around and it clears



Although the rail is very very close to the throttle body




I've got ideas to modify the fuel rail to help clearances but once i got a solid idea i'll post them

That's the stock throttle body flange lol

"facepalm" looks like an mustang TB flange a bit... (thought it was ls1 but its a mustang TB i was thinking of...)

[Damkid]

It should clear the hood, as long as I measured correctly :lol: worst case if it hits the hood I'll shorten the runners so it'll clear

[25Horseplay]

Does it still fit under the hood? Looks great!

looks great what TB are you using? IIRC thats a LS1 TB?

[FestYboy]

needs velocity stacks but looks BA

So sweet! Wish I could custom build anything I wanted, I've got a lot of road ahead of me. Nice work!

Believe me, if I didn't have access to all the tools at work, I probably would still be running the B6T, having the right tools makes an incredible different

Nice. Can't wait to see this done

[Damkid]

The runners are welded on the inside of the chamber (i should have taken a pic)




And for those who are wondering why i did not weld the runners to the plenum, they will be connected with rubber hoses, that way i can adjust the runner length with ease

Thanks maxim

Looking good so far Chris !!!
