cool cool. glad i could help. and if you need any custom gaskets I can cut them on our vector laser cutter. teflon too.
FFIM Molds?

Thanks to 4U2.
I threw together an accurately spaced model... should probably ignore the front holes, I improvised cause I can't remember where they are and they're missing from the DXF.

yes, and I'm about to have another lol.
any progress? I've been working on creating geometry for cnc porting heads. I'll have to post it up here sometime in the next month.

No, not much progress...
I've been pretty busy here this week and last.
Just need more days in the week.

I'm going to do some material analysis of HCEP epoxy we mold with at work... such as pressures, heat exchange, and strength... (I only have access to ash testing, and TG glass transition analysis.)
My plan is to get time on the 3D printer where I'll make one complete mold, apply acrylic to seal it, then run some prototypes. It's going to be a while... I just don't have the free time anymore
Let us know when you come up with a "composite" manifold.
Looks good Brent!
Might I suggest some taper on the plenum towards #6 to keep velocity up and make life easier for you LHD guys with the brake booster in the way.

Yup!
This model was just one of about 5 different designs I made... it's kinda hard to see in the silica, but there is a little taper... I think it's some odd 15 degrees.
I'm going to try making some tubular style ones next time around.
Might also want to add some vertical internal ridges opposite the ports to help break up the laminar flow and turn the air ala Nissan RB intakes

cool stuff brent!
makes me almost wish we would have gotten a 3d printer instead of a vector laser machine!

Whats the volume on that plenum? thing looks HUGE!
and your manifold bolts directly to the head correct?

I can calculate the volume the next time. (posting from work)
But,
Yes, it's the stock head bolt pattern and inlet pattern thanks to 2quick who sent me the DXF file.
I maximized the volume by manipulating the oval to circular shape.
PS.
It'll probably look a lot less "fluffy" once I spray it with acrylic.
are you designing to fit with the stock alternator location? And stock TB?
I could do a model a the alternator and bracket, as well as a basic head so you can fit the manifold up. Not much help, but might be useful for refining your design?
