I think we need to put a man on the moon first.!



Search for ron r manifold.

 

[aye mate]

Sethron71 made one like you are describing.

Ron R's are totally custom aside from using the lower manifold.

 

[yaitsme]

Sethron's stepped up in the world, too, since then ....

 

[bowsercake]

that stock to ffim idea seems pretty interesting. I wonder how well it actually worked. However, it seems like it might not be that much of an improvement considering the work involved. It's probably just better to get a Ron R or something similar.

Here is my actual project, but is not finish, I spend around $150 in ebay parts

im gonna be making a sethronesque intake manifold. It is a very cheap method to clean up your engine bay although i wouldn't trust the setup for high hp applications due to the fact the stocker was designed for a side entrance.

i did the remade stocker but mine was down very well

MY home made FFI. No need for alternator relocation.
Vacuum lines and ISC all are bolted on the bottom side.

Hey Tubbie, you use a TIG or MIG to do that?

 

[onefstsupra89]

nice i want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can you show it installed.......

 

[SupraDreamPDR]

nice Tubbie, have you used/tested it yet?

 

[rot 90na-t]

tubbie, what guage aluminum did you use for that??

 

[gixxer750]

Those are def Not spool gun welds on tubbies manifold. Those are tig.

A nephew of mine works at a metal fabrication shop that builds custom parts for customers like aap, balanced performance, etc....

I just cut up thick paper into the shapes that I need. He takes them and cuts them on aluminum, ss, or whatever I need it in . Does all the welding and fabrication for me.

It is tig welded. I haven't tested it and will have it installed when it is warm again. I have a Q45 throttle on it now. The stock one was used just for mocking up.

I do have a few parts in the works. WIll be ready for sale sometimes next year. Intercooler block off plates, nightpager brake adapters (might have MK4 ones too), 3 inch throttle body in the stock location, and a few others...

 

[jimi87-t]

I just noticed there are two threads going on about this, homemade FFIM

 

[Sar-Supra]

I have a Q45 throttle on it now. The stock one was used just for mocking up.

Ok, I was also thinking about making a FFIM on my own. Would someone be so kind and explain to me why one shouldn´t use the stock throttle body. I can´t see the reason why it wouldn´t work. Ron´s FFIM is great but the engine rebuild is going to consume just what I was planning to invest.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
