Intake manifold pics. UPDATED More pics (sorry Brian)

[S.Bretz]

Here are a few pics of an intake maifold I have been working on over that past ...feels like....20 years.

I chopped the velocity stacks to fit al nice and neat in their new home.




^^^^The large pipe behind the intake manifold and the blue torch is the body, I ran out of camera battery before I could snap shots of it with the LT-1 t-boby.

Oh my God.. :shock: .. You can also see more of the bohemith intake plenum in the back ground (4.5 inch O.D/ 4.25 I.D. [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif[/img])





Here are some pics on how I tackled the coolant return issue
Note the 1/8 npt plug plugging up the stock hole. I ran a drill bit straight threw the stock hole and drill it out threw the bottom.







I have all the peice ready to go...just need to get the time and resources to glue them together.


Random pic of an everyday car I saw yesterday. And the answer is NO. There was TOOOOO much traffic to even think about that.


If you can't make it out...it says 355 and then large forgein word.

lol i dont know how fast you run, but wouldnt we all loose to a ferrari even with traffic?

If btw you meant racing him when u said too much traffic...

[S.Bretz]

Lol...the I ran a ferrari a while back on the highway...I started ridign his ass knowing he would gun it. I think he though he was gonna loose me...witch he did after a couple trys. The final "try" he played dirty and used up coming traffic to block me from getting over [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gif[/img]

Tube measurement pics




Pics of the 3 inch extension added to the straight body of he plunem




Funny shape I had to give the tube to fit the throttle body and clear the locations for the mounting nuts/bolts




Velocity stacks dipping their toes in the water




Velocity stacks tacking a peak around from the look-out perch




Pic of the home made bored out LT-1 gimmick. Not the epoxy still around the machine screws on the throttle plates (hawtness), and notice the home made air foil between the bores. The hole for the iac passage has be denied acces as well. I have been haveing probelms with the IAC moving from boost and vacuum differences. Another IAC solution will be investigated in the future...until then, the idle will be controlled by my foot whiel the car is warming up...like what I have to do now.

is that the throttle body from my dad? hot shit

[S.Bretz]

Sure is. I took the stock 48mm plates out and fitted 52mm plates in with the help of a metal lathe.

[sl2racer]

damn that is nice work. is that a saturn tps or the lt1's

[S.Bretz]

LT-1, but it plugs right into the saturn harness, and the wire pin-outs are the same. I hooked it up to the harness and tested via the MS and megaveiw.

[sl2racer]

all good? and did you get a hold of the plate that goes on top of that throttle body?

[S.Bretz]

I might have one from an LT-4 I can use. The bolt pattern is symetrical, so I can just flip it over and get LLO engraved on the bottom side. Its a piece of polished aluminum or chrome plated steel. I'm not sure yet, but I was told I can have it if I want it.

I was gonna ask how my intake is doing....nevermind. LMAO!
