Custom Intake manifold in the works.
Just wanted to start this thread to get the leak going on my newest project. I'm making a custom NA manifold for Johnnie's DX. This will be a complete manifold that should bolt in and require only minimal wiring. I'm going to start re-assembling everything in the next few weeks and hopefully get some nice teaser pics for you guys real soon.
Any NA guys wanting to make 150whp on the stock block? I may have an answer for you.
p.s. Karen, if this works you better buy one!

I was just looking at the Jspec intakes today. A buddy blew his engine and I am debating wether to get his intake and de-vic it or try to buy one. This might be a answer. As long as it's not priced like Cork sport, damn they want an arm and a leg and a breast too!

hughes, I don't know what corksport is asking for a manifold but if I were to sell these in quantity it would cost me a lot of time.....I don't even have a price lined up yet but I would think the manifold package would easily be $400. When you see it you'll know why it's so much.
Scotty, nope, this is an NA manifold only....

Try like 650.00 for the Jspec and then you have to wait and see. And all they are is an MP3 intake (no vics) from what I was told. I might be wrong. So anyways 400 for a good intake that gets you 25 or close to it, I'd buy it. Got half of that now!

oh yeah, I should have no problem beating $650! I think $400 is pretty good...
oh and btw...this will require a core charge and your stocker back when the new one arrives. I've got 2 here now to start on but I don't want to keep hitting junkyards looking for cores.

I've spent the past few hours on the phone with a few EE's and eletrical wholesale suppliers here in the area...looks like I'll be fine on 85% of my project....the problem is the MAF.
Gotta find a bigger 0-5V MAF with 3wire pickup that I can source cheaply and will splice in easily. Once I find another MAF I'll have to test it n someones car to see how it handles it. Any takes or am I on my own again?!?!! hahaha.

eh, no biggee....just gotta find a nice cheap 80mm MAF (possibly from a junked crown vic) and start tinkering with it. I wonder how the ecu is going to react to the increased airflow.
