discussing with a mod is a good idea. NO SELLS WILL BE DONE UNTIL THEN!!!!!

On a side note im gettin solidworks to get the design down to a tee

im not really looking for something that flows all that much better then the stocker, it would be nice, but i just want the throttle body facing forward so i can have simple intercooler piping and a nice big front mount.

i dont want worse, better flow is always a plus but in the end i just want the TB facing foward.

my concerns would be the bolts in the manifold. potential boost leak. id rather a weld on base and flange the tbody. a little unsure about the extreme angle the throttle body is mounted as well.
also, how in the hell do you bolt it on with it welded together? thru the tbody hole?
would like to see some flow numbers to see how it does.

From the pictures it looks like a, well, bad design.

The FFIM should be one the last mods you do to your car. And then only if you can afford to leave some grunt on the table. Even with the longer intercooler routing.

I forgot what gauge thickness it was. He made it for me almost 2 year ago.

He used a tig welder for it all.

IJ, I'll take some more pics of it and send them to you. I have one about to be installed on my brother's supra.

Someone asked him for more info and he said he'd send it to them...(Edit: Bah he deleted his post)

Far from whoring yet. there's alot of people here who have made FFIM's and have much experiance with them already that you can learn alot from.
