Well - as stated I made these for a guy for his B16b. Originally he gave me a set of quads of a toyota - and with alot of work - I turned them into something he was very happy with.
It all started here - with making the trumpets, and the adaptors




Then I flared the trumpets out and welded them to the adaptors.




The flange




Turned out there was no way in hell this idea was going to work out


So onto the custom runners












Holes cut for the throttle assembly to move properly




Length of quads compared to b16 and H22 intakes


My jig for getting the angle right for the injectors


The Mock injectors and the injector holders i made up in the lathe


Set up


Welded on




Air temp sensor mounting




Water pipes




Nearly finished


Vacuum outlets



Runners finished - with mounts for fuel rail




All finished




With vacuum tank

 

WOW !!!!
You have some talent.
Can't wait to see it on the engine.

 

awesome work!
not ******* on ur work... but wud it be easier if u just cut up an oem b16 manifold, shave off the runners flush to the flange and leaving its oem injector holes?

none the less, u did an awesome job! and it looks clean, if u can add a little length to the whole runner total.. that wud prolly help out too, maybe in the 10inch range

excellent job! thumbs up!

 

hope u dont mind i post pics, of a seemingly similar work im doin.. but this one is for a d16,

not much work has bin done, just had sum velocity stacks made, flaired and tapered like i want them

money shot!

 

how long did it take you to do all that ?

 

That looks very good

 

mine? lol i just had the stacks made, not much work on anything else.. so it didnt take that long..

(hope i got ur question correct lol)

 

not you. (you should take your pics down and post your own thread BTW !, you are stealing his thunder !! )

 

lol haha sorry im not tryin to steal his thunder... i do admire his craftmanship..

looks very very clean... and yeah.. i too am wondering how long it took him to build this, lets w8t for his reply lol

(plus u replied to my post )

No kidding, looks good, but damn, if somebody paid hourly for that I know it was expensive!

 

looks good

I'm not a big fan of welding to "castings" so I figured I'd just do it all my way. Plus - the injectors would have come out on the wrong angle and the fuel rail would have been in the way of the throttle bodies if I used the OEM flange. The way I've done it really does make it a "One Off". Also - the torque that the car has now is very impressive. The runners are (according to the dyno) the perfect length. I'll see If I can get the dyno sheet off the guy and post it up.


Time wise - you don't want to know :lol: The time i spent mucking round with ideas would go into the vicinity of 25 + hours. If I had to make some again then I wouldn't charge any less than $1800 NZDollars. But the guy I made them for is a mate and since it was the first set I've ever made I gave him a good price (think well under a grand) Plus you can buy a set off the shelf for less than what I'd make another set for so I wouldn't bother unless someone wanted them specifically.

I'm waiting for some pics of them installed - then I'll post them up.

 

Greetings Josh,

I'm also from new zealand but from skyline blood (ahhh!) did you use 1.6mm or 2.4mm filler rod? Looks good though, I'll post up progress of my plenum at some stage.. (I'm from A1 Radiators in Christchurch BTW)

 

very nice work, seems you have some killer fab skills, keep it up and let us know how they do

 

Nice work.

 

what toyota model did those tb came off?

 

that's some sweet welding mate!

I would say there off a 20 valve motor but thats just a guess.

 

most likely it's off 4AG family... since it has very similar bore spacing and bore to B16 series...

 

correct!

toyota 4ag 20valve engines

the silvertop models have

42mm throttle plate

the blacktop models have

44mm throttle plate

 

NICE. But for the price I'm sure he paid you, he could have just bought the TWM setup

Custom fabbed stuff is always cooler though.

 

nice work

Thanks for the comments guys

Still awaiting pics from the owner - will post as soon as I get them.
