They are for 3000gt vr4 , will be dyno testing one in the next couple day. Is fabricated from 5052 1/4 PL ,fits a 82.5mm Q45 TB , CFD testing indicate a very evenly air distribution among the runners.

Looks better than any IM I've ever seen for a 3S.

Have you thought about using a non-turbo DOHC intake manifold? There are more of them around, plus you could have the plenum part be a bolt-on affair, rather than welding straight to the runners.

Yes I have used them before, there is not much difference in runner diameter so I use whatever I have on hand , plus the real problem on the 3S Manifold is the surge tank huge bottle neck.

looks pretty cool....just one question though, why not do custom runners as well?
