I'm looking for a long runner intake (gasser maybe?) that I can use for a mod on my ALH head. I liked the look of the euro AAZ intake that RabbitGTDguy previously posted, but is sold. The main thing I'm wanting is longer individual runners with a greater radius than the ALH manifold. The plenum will most likely be modified. I have several log type plenums already fabricated, but would rather use longer runners instead of using the bottom portion of the ALH with a open riser below the plenum.
Let me know what's available, and any ideas would be appreciated.

The only long runner "D" port intake manifold you are going to find will be the AAZ manifold. There is another variation of the SDI manifold as well that is a two part manifold and looks alot like the 2.0 gasser (mk3/4 style) manifolds but the "D"port portion is very small and very similar to that of the ALH/1z, other TD manifolds, etc.
If you want to do something similar to the one that I have done you'll have to start with a traditional gasser manifold and port it to D ports...or find a AAZ unit. I've never seen any gasser with D ports even though there are some other port designs out there (16v, 20v, etc...).

I think he is looking for the intakes from across the pond

across the pond or in the U.S. you'll be hard pressed to find a D port intake with long runners other than the AAZ intake manifold or the 2 piece, SDI manifold. Thats the point I was making. The AAZ unit isn't even readily available in the U.S. There are a few around...but they are all from europe in one form or another as the non-TD AAZ didn't really make a showing in canada...nor did the SDI.

Yes... I liked the long radius of the AAZ non-TD intake. Something along this line should work with my idea for a more efficient intake. If nothing is available, I may have to fabricate from the head up. I mostly need some form of runners to make it easier.
Are there any detailed photos available of the SDI lower portion, starting at the head ? And if so, does anyone have one that they would part with ?

I'll be getting an SDI lower soon, i'll get some photos up when I do.
I'm hoping it will mate up to the US spec 2.0 upper I got, but we'll see.
The SDI upper is plastic and a few people have had problems with higher boost causing problems.
Mine will be mainly to help clear smoke so I might be ok with the plastic section

This could be a rare find, in the mean time, I will be happy to take a alh intake ( and/or other tdi ) to experiment with, if someone has one taking up space.

I'm using a long runner Gasser Manifold mk1 GTI or possibly mk2 digifant2 with a G60 TB adapter. Depends on what side my piping will run. I've seen several articles about people modding the port area of a gasser manifold by welding them up in order to make a d port runner...
