intake manifold single pass

gonna take my intake manifold tomorrow to the machine shop so they can rig up a single pass setup. My question is, which way does the water flow through?

inlet: lower passenger side, outlet: upper driver side? or vice versa???

I figure this would be the best way ensure all laminova cores are filled with fluid.

I do, but I don't really wanna spend $2k plus for different type of FI.... even though I'll make some of it back from selling my sc kit, and other parts I wouldn't need anymore.

That might not a be a good thing seeing the inlet is not bigger then just one hose. It sounds like if you do that you will e only getting flow to the fitting with the less resistance. Kinda like only the bottom core will be getting the most flow. Might want to think about it might find out it would hurt to run it that way.

another question, how would the fluid from the lower 3 sections exit out the top since the endplate is sealed from each other?

Your suppose to cut the plate and weld all of the chambers together. Then send it thru the fitting opposite of the lower passenger fitting.

could I use a dremel to open up the chambers in the endplate together? I know it would probably take a while lol

I could even use a dril bit

You have to weld the top one to the center and I think same goes for the bottom piece.
