Title: Fabbing an intake manifold - design ideas?
Post by: Jetmugg on February 21, 2017, 12:02:55 pm

OK team, I have been thinking of fabbing my own intake manifold for a turbodiesel application, and I'm soliciting design ideas and manufacturing techniques.

I've seen pics of several, but don't have a great grasp of the design criteria (runner length, plenum volume, tapered versus straight runners, etc).

Please help educate me.

Also, are there any suppliers for intake manifold flanges (like there are for header flanges)?  I've seen people cut OEM manifolds apart to use the flange, but not sure if I've seen any commercially available intake manifold flanges.

STeve.

Kind of what I was thinking.  This is a major education need.  For someone just thinking about fabbing one up it would take ages to explain all the nuances.  Hope he called you.
