Im not sure if this is the place for this type of post.
Looking for someone to fabricate an intake for my JRSC.
I would like a 3" section from the charger to the throttle body to replace the Jackson s-tube between the supercharger and a 75mm (Mustang?) throttle body.
I have done what I could with a spacer and porting but the supercharger inlet is approximately 3" and I am not able to get anywhere near that with porting the s-tube.






If at all possible I would like to try to replicate something similar to what is used in the M45 kits with a smoother route and turn before the throttle body.


Maybe like this with the bypass in the original location

And Possibly an Intake tube 3.5" before the throttle body
Everything is off the car and can be sent along for a moc-up

I considered it D. but the car is apart already and this is something I would like to get out of the way before I get the car to you. It's a real pain in the *** piece to deal with and I'm laying awake in bed trying to figure out the best plan of attack, there is a lot going on in that tight space.
This is something I really wanted to get to last year but once I got everything together it was more out of sight out if mind.

I spoke with Beard on the phone about this a bit and I feel that with the intake tube/throttle body/s-tube sent to him we should be able to use that as a template to sort it out.
CRVRX, what are you using these flanges for? I'm unaware that you offer any type of s-tube only modified cast units.

It would be easier to move the throtle body out beside the distributor. I was going to build one with my JRSC kit but i just sold the kit. The B series tb is in the worst place on the blower.
Moving it beside the Distributor allows for a 3" pipe with a longer shot to allow air to flow better .

Current plan is to find an m45 inlet manifold and s-tube and have them modified to fit and flow better.
If I have to buy them new I feel this us a better approach than to modify the vtec inlet manifold. I'm going to give moss a call today and see if they have any left.

Are you not considering buying the flanges from LHT? Why not use your existing S tube, cut off the flanges and go from there? Wanna keep them for future re-sale possibilities?

Yeah I got the supercharger flange coming from LHT, that was the only one they have available.
Yes I would like to keep the OE piece as a fail safe for now.

Here are the parts I have gotten thus far, still need the 1.5" tube for the bypass. I have some 3" tube to make the round-oval transition.

Messed with this a bit today, my fab skills/tools have much to be desired. The aluminum tube cracked down each side as I expected an the tube is much too small on the blower side.
Burns sells a 3-3.5 reducer I may try insted.
Does anyone think 0.065" is too thin to support s throttle body?
Steel would have been much easier to work with but the flanges were harder to come by.
