you could use one of these just install it in the upper radiator hose and get a diamante filler neck. trust me there are ways around that problem

no worries your rad. overflow should suck and deposit fluid as needed unless you choose to purge your whole system and fill up again. if its such a big hassle then they should just offset the TB to the front or back a few inches for clearance. no big whoop...

Looks dang nice though. how much will this run? $$$

maybe we can have a microsoft paint sketch of what your final design is going to look like?

pearlwhitwin · 07-30-2007, 01:15 PM

if it is like zestys manifold i have a feeling you will make many sales. especially if there is also a drivers side throttle body option

i3igpete · 07-30-2007, 01:29 PM

the only problem i forsee with the zesty manifold is that he can't reuse the end of the stock plenum and that might make it pretty pricey. fabbing those up might be pretty involved since the bolt holes go through the surgetank. with a modified stock plenum, you can simply cut off the end section that has the mounting bolts and weld a tank onto that... which is probably why everyone's custom plenums are modified stock plenums.

why do people like the drivers side option?...just throwing it out there.

pearlwhitwin · 07-30-2007, 02:54 PM

for single turbo would be the main/only reason. and there seems to be alot more interest in single turbo lately. also about the zesty design i dont think it would be too insanly hard it is just that the bolts would go through the actual surge tank as seen in the zesty pic. you might be able to literally cut off the old plenum flange off the stock plenum... i think the hardest part about that design would just be fitment because it will have the clear the hood and both valve covers which might be very difficult. here are a few pics of some cool plenums

on the last 2 photos there is a price written on that piece of paper of 899 and yes i know they arent around anymore i just thought it was interesting
enjoy

i think it should be dynoed on a stock car or at least very close to stock

i3igpete · 08-02-2007, 12:53 PM

why? the turbos will choke out before you can use the extra volume in the surge tank

servidjo · 08-02-2007, 01:46 PM

a close to stock car should not be looking at upgrading the plenum. it wouldnt make sense. these car make BIG power with the stocker. Even me, with the stock heads/cam, shouldnt be looking at a plenum.. i should be going with heads/cam first.
