New 2.3 Upper intake...

[RacinNdrummin]

Hey guys,

I just wanted to mention that im making sheet metal upper intakes for the 2.3. I have a sticky thread over at turboford.

Here is a few pics.

I make them in std, 90* and 120* rotations, and they are meant for a stock lower intake. Basically its like bolting on a gutted setup, but with more plenum volume, without having to remove the lower intake.

I can also do custom stuff for other engines and whatnot...

Very cool! I must me nice to have talent!

Any plans to make them for the dual plug lower intake? Or how about just rotating a stock one?

Beautiful welding man! What was your technique for welding on the outter curve of the intake? Did you "walk the cup" when you Tig'd it together?

 

[RacinNdrummin]

No, I have the pulse feature on my tig welder, so it does the hard work for me.

I pulse weld the outer and inner curves, and no pulse on the flanges.

OK, I see what you mean......Very cool. It looks great!

i take it that the plates were cnc machined? beautiful work man!

I designed the flanges, and I have a CNC guy cut them out for me.

The holes in the lower flange are matched to an upper intake.

The black powdercoated one is for sale right now.

I listed the black one on Ebay, I have 4 more to build currently, I will see how they sell and if there is general interest in them, I will make more.

Are you still making these? How can I contact you to order one?

Hello, Looks like I am a few years late on this thread. I'm curious if you still make these intakes? Thanks
