I wish I still had access to a mill and lathe  :'(

I know how you feel, but while I have access I'm going to make the most of it!

Wow, wow, and wow again. Never knew you were a man of these Skills. Intake a great idea and super cool. Its given me the kick to start work again on my own manifold(which Ill need a test mule car for and a rr, anyone ;))

Its variable geometry...

Anyway, enough hogging, super thread Smudge, I missed threads like this.

Brian,

I've seen it up close Brian...it's it's better than very very good!...

We can maybe look at a fabrication section....anyone wanna float some heading idea's around feel free...something catchy...metal art?...metal magic?...some non car structure's could inspire some car idea's, or fabricated parts from one area could trigger inspiration in others.

Sorry Tom we'll clean this up later! ;D

Brian thank you very much, it means a lot coming from yourself, who is the master of fabrication and design  ;D

The idea of a variable intake is great, just what the manufactures are doing and would be an excellent asset if the lengths are tuned for the mid and high rev ranges! (Assuming you will shorten the inlet track by maybe diverting with a butterfly, or are you talking moving trumpets?)

Look forward to you future plans with great interest. Cannot wait to see you continue your work with the head!

Hey Jason, thanks for the kind words too, don't worry about the banter on here, seems that having it can already help to inspire others and seeing Sams work has made me want to get out there and do more with metal!

I also work in wood and plastics and just enjoy making and fabricating. If its just a metal only section I'm happy with that, but it would be good if I could post up the odd wood or plastic job that might be interesting to others  ::)

'The Fabrication Forum' sounds good.

I then welded and a TB flange added, the std 8v throttle cable is not long enough, therefore an extension needed to be added and the cables needed to be joined, tabs were welded on for the cable ends.






I thought for the throttle link, 3 grub screws per cable would be sufficient.



Fuel rail tabs welded on this is now ready to go.

I tested the manifold, car started easily, after she warmed up I adjusted the idle screw and played with the idle settings, got her very smooth quickly. Took her for an hours drive, the wife came along and mapped the car for me (told what adjustments to make) she really does enjoy tweaking maps and is very good at it to, car now mapped to run healthy AFRs all the way to 4000rpm and it pulled cleanly on WOT. Over 4000rpm it was producing healthy AFRs so I have not altered  them yet.

Great thread with nice detail (and of course great fabrication and planning). I must pull my finger out and do some bits myself!

Hey Alan, nice to hear from you, do you still have the Mk2? If so you could always carry on the plenum project...
