Default strange looking intake manifold



first glance it looks like a GSR 2 stage welded to a custom plenum?? where the heck is the intake sausage going? must be a hole behind the fender or something.

That car looks alive... with those wires and intake. That Intake looks like a cancerous tube. Very odd indeed. Whats with the tape on the right?

that's a quick release for the bumper. the car is SRR's company race car that competes regularly in taiwan's tiny TIS track...

the car also has air jacks.

manifold is strange but look at the size of the throttle body! damn!!! wonder if the intake tube feeds into the interior...? looks like it ends up somewhere around where the golvebox and fan are in a stock car.

I've been contemplating this for a while We make intakes like that for the supra and was wondering how a turbo honda would feel with a custom manifold and a 90mm Q45 TB

dude...our speedvision touring cars only run one wiper. if there isn't a passanger, that side of the windshield doesn't really need a wiper.

why is that car left hand drive??
look at the brake booster and cylinder on the left side.
On JDM cars it's on the right side.
Also, I don't see any strut brace, it seems to be a throttle cable instead which is also coming from the left.

Why not? Wouldn't it help a racer to have better vision on the right?

Anyone remember the Hyper Lemon Drag Civic that Jun brought over here? I remember checking it out when it was in the garage at Jun USA. They ran the Jun intake manifold with a Q45 throttle body. That thing was friggin huge.

In my experience, Taiwan gets the whimpy motors. I've seen/heard of some crazy cars over there though. Just never seen them. I've always just seen hatchs with christmas lights and clear brake lights. Those wannabe EVOs are all over the place.

you actually don't really ever look out the right side of the windshield because you are looking so far ahead down the track.
