Custom Intake Manifold

[bob442]

here is where I am at with a hacked up 3500 UIM. I am now waiting for my heater core/intercooler to show up so I can have the bottom plate machined that will be welded onto this hacked up manifold.

I like where this is going, but your running a blower arent you? how are you going to have this look like a sleeper?

be sure to save that aluminum dust... thermite is some fun stuff.

Great minds think alike, lol.

Should I save the metallic boogers I'm picking out of my nose too??

Well since I decided to ditch a custon one piece and move onto a ported LIM and custom UIM..........here is where I am at with a hacked up 3500 UIM. I am now waiting for my heater core/intercooler to show up so I can have the bottom plate machined that will be welded onto this hacked up manifold.

Huh, could swear I saw several that did, I guess they must have been the GM ones or something, could swear I saw one like that though that had a tbird side exit on it, but hell that makes putting one on even easier, now If I can just find a damn job around here, get me some bigger injectors and an ECM...And I don't suppose you know if that top piece can be flipped the other way so the pipe exits on the other side?

The area opposite of what is marked in green is not open. The only openings are the green area and the air inlet.

Red represent the outtake that goes to and through the intercooler and into the engine, blue represents the intake where the supercharger draws through air, and the green represents the square that the top piece seals to, but the one on that opposite side that is just an open square that I believe needs to be sealed off?

[2.8/3400 1985 Camaro]

Aka I am correct right? That more or less sounds like what I thought, but you don't say if the bottom side has to be sealed or not, I will modify a picture of one to better iterate what I mean.

The Tbird M90 is basically flipped upside down as compared to a 3800 M90, with the outlet on top. It still inducts are from the opposite side of the pulley

[2.8/3400 1985 Camaro]

Subscribed, also probably a dumb question, but I am not quite sure of the flow routing on m90s, on the FWD ones it seems the intake is opposite the pulley, and it pushes air out the square hole, but on the tbird ones it appears that this square hole has to be sealed, with the intake position the same, but the out flow coming out the top/right when looking at one from the front? Am I correct on the flow routing? I am eventually planning to get two tbird m90s....but its hard to try to figure out placement without being positive about the flow routing, oh and I also don't have much of an issue with hood clearance :P

lol, Does this mean Hank's gonna need that LIM longer than you thought?

Yes that seems likely.....lol

Well with a new aftermarket hood design being released for the alero. The design will be changing from a complex custom 2 piece LIM to a stock LIM and very simple box plenum UIM. I have not decided wether or not I will be incorporating a sandwich style W2A intercooler.

Too bad they are too small for a 3.4 cause I could got one for $300 last year. I wish I would got it and put it in my parts hoard.

all the pictures have the charger mounted, and really the biggest one they offer isn't really that small. Plus it wouldn't be that hard to make a simple adapter plate to move from one charger to the other, or if their is room to have the manifold milled for a different charger opening.
