looks good, i enjoy seeing this kind of work on a conventional platform, makes you think what you can do to your own.

Ken, despite our differences, I must give credit where credit is due.

That intake manifold is shaping up wonderfully.

Kudos.

I know it has been asked, but have you worked out what the final volume is going to be?

HondaTom87

damn I am really liking the this set-up.
I cant wait to see the final product...

btw to everyone who was saying that this is his first time doing metal fab should go back and re-read everyone of his posts... it is his first time using these tools on a honda...
okay I just had to get that out there...

any way thank you for displaying this throught the steps and not just throwing up the final mani and catch can... I cant get over this... damn lol

The manifold looks nice but I really wanted to see the RSX Creepfest Tuning Challenge at iMW and win a free manifold

in a world of shelf parts and overseas products this is a breath of fresh air. keep it up!

I have to agree. The problem is nobody wants to wait. Craftsmanship takes time. Rushing is not a formula for success. I'm run off my feet because guys are finally seeing the light.
Want the same as everybody else? If not, get it built by a local fabricator and watch your friends get giddy with envy.
Nice job on this so far, I know how tedious hand-working metal can be.

PeakBoost

sorry for the late reply, been slammed lately. haven't taken a day off in a month

I'll definitly measure the total plenum volume and catchcan capacity for you guys as soon as its all welded up. got the back half of the plenum roughed out and matched up, so should be very soon



we tried to host the event at IMW, but they weren't interested...
so, we'll be going out to Absolute Pro-formance in Baltimore on April 17th to tune any and all PeakBoost RSX's for free! aswell as the FREE RSX/EP3 manifold raffle, food, drinks, FREE tshirt give aways..! PM me for more info

That ^^^^ Juans hatch?

By the looks of the english wheel pic, looks like .065" or .090" aluminum, right? That's a lot of surface area on the intake manifold. Going to put studs in it to keep it from ballooning?

-RedneckDave-

I thought that as well Tony. After using the planishing hammer it will thin out the material, but it should be uniform if done right. It would be interesting to see how much the difference in thickness is from the beginning and the end.

I did a hot filler rod to my upper lip 2 weeks ago, sucked. A lot.

but wait, didn't you once like accidentally run a filler rod through your ear drum/?

PPLH8R

I think I remember that too ?
I have a bad habit of putting the filler rod in my mouth while Iam moving a part or what not. I have burnt my lips too many times.
