I have 5 Millenia coils sitting in my garage, lol. I can take a picture if you need it.

Here's a pic of the aluminum for my intake

Lower part of the runners, squared up to match the ports

injectors arrived today

[Damkid]

I need to replace acouple pittle caps but otherwise they look great, and I already test fitted them and they fit perfect in the stock rail



And a comparison pic between the 850's and stock injectors

Lately ive been learning how to weld aluminum because i got sick of waiting for my boss to find time to do it, so now feeling confident enough i started welding my intake

I forgot a hole saw so I couldn't drill out the holes for the bottom of the chamber, so I at least welded the lower runners to the flanges



I purposely made the welds fairly thick because when I squared up the runners, they didn't perfectly match



So using this handy belt sander I smoothed out the runners

those welds look pretty good chris, how much weldeing experience do you have? is it hard to learn? not being able to weld is my big handicap and as we know everything with festivas is almost all custom work

[Damkid]

Thanks Rick, I have about 3 years experience MIG welding, last year my boss got a TIG welder which I've played around with on steel but it was just the passed couple weeks where I started practicing with aluminum, my intake is the first actual aluminum welding I've done

MIG welding, I find, is very easy to do and was not be hard to learn, even TIG welding is fairly simple but aluminum was pretty tricky to learn :lol:

[Safety Guy]

Cool tools!

Good skills!

I love seeing everyone's work and especially the problem solving and custom stuff made to do the job. Good work, Chris!
