Remember this? Matty O's LNF before it was run over by a tractor trailer rig... made over 400 whp. But then Pwerkes dont sell them anymore. And ZZP make over 500 whp with a stock IM

This IM is a thing of beauty, you gotta say. Real clean install, everything in place.

 

cant see the image

 

i cant either

 

wow now i can, looks great

 

Not so much the random piping that the stock manifold has eh? Looks far more clean haha.

 

Reversed flow setup, so it's a totally custom piping job. Looks like 2.75" piping too.

I don't personally like how the TB distributes to one side, and the manifold doesn't appear to taper, meaning that it will likely have uneven air distribution from cylinders 1-4. Kinda looks like it was originally designed for a non-LNF, or to be friendly for folks converting.

 

there you go Wangspeed, letting basic engineering get in the way of beauty (lol) The fact is, the log plenum setup has been around for years, but in most cases, there was no throttle body, and the inlet runners housed the fuel injection ports, so the plenum was just air delivery. We used to have a little hole in the far end as well.

That ZZP get such humungous whp out of the stock IM, along with all the deficiencies of a DI engine with no source for different high pressure injectors , is just amazing.

But this IM here, along with wire tucks and stuff like that, are awesome to look at. Not sure if I care if it really works, coz I dont run an LNF, but it sure looks nice.

Happy you found the image John! I found it over at GMSC. Very clean piece, and Matt put some good power thru it and it held up well

 

his car was definitely one of my favorites.



but hey Mr. Powell did you happen to get my email? i know i probably caught you unpacking or still travelling from totd

 

Beautiful. Love how the pipes are routed bc of the IM too.

 

i saw a pm or a facebook comment about an email, but unless its in junk i dont ahve it. I am on the skid pad again tomorrow , so no action from me until late saturday or sunday. to catch up with emails. sorry
ya the unpacking? lots to do. Redline ran famously, 2000 miles. YYZ !!

 

I saw that car in a domestic magazine, I had no idea it got totaled.

 

Too much engineer in me. Here's a thing of beauty. Drooled over it when I had my E30 M3.



Large plenum for the stock individual throttle bodies to pull from. Even distribution of air.

Latest crazy turbo intake manifold that I've seen that is tested to do 2000hp is from Extreme Tuners, across the pond.



No TB like you mentioned, and note the even distribution from the bottom, and curved shape.

 

well its titled "rear coilover spring spacer/ cobalt" if you happen to see it. no hurry to get to it though, wont' be used till next season.


btw i looked in to Penske adjustable shocks/struts :O fuuuuuuuu. i think it'll stick with coilovers hahaha
