Intake manifold design considerations.....

Im guessing from looking at Mike's picture, but is there an intercooler incorporated in the lower intake like a Cobra/Lightning?? Is that what the AN fittings and lines are where the compressor used to be?? Forgive me for not reading the previous 12 pages of the thread...
That is one nice setup. Looks like alot of thought went into it. Definetly got my vote for best looking engine compartment!!!
 
Mike Looks sweet!


Now I'm assuming that is still the 3.8 block? (no dry sump)

No IC? Meth instead?

Is that the Morana Waterpump or something you adapted?

Overall very sweet and clean..Love the valve covers too! I remeber you working on them awhiel back. Came together nicely

Good luck!

No intercooler yet. The car will be tested with two tunes:

1. 93 octane and water/methonal cooling
2. E85

The AN lines are for the coolant return from the heads back to the radiator.

Yes to the 3.8 block
See above post for cooling
My design for the electric waterpump
Thanks

Wow, that looks awesome Mike. Can't wait to see your setup in person. How will the liquid to air setup work? Does it run under the blower between the inlet?

New fuel?

Did you say E85? Are we looking to power our birds into the future with the wonderful anti-knock qualities of E85???

Yes when installed the liquid to air exhanger will be located between the blower and the intake.

Mike,

Did you or are you planning to do any testing of the air distribution on the fabricated intake manifold as we discussed at the Shoot-Out?

That is the reason I'm going to run the megasquirt II.. They just opened an E-85 station down the road from me :D

Mike that looks awesome. I see two map sensors in there. Why two?

The second map sensor is for the water/alcohol system.

Mike,

Truly awesome work. I was reading your other post about your water pump setup and it stated that it might be available in early 2008. Is there any update on this? Also was wondering if you'll be offering the valve covers?

Thanks
