for my 2316 it seems that the stock plenum might be reaching it's limits as far as volume goes.....so, I either fabricate a larger common plenum, or go with individual throttle bodies such as TWM or Jenvey*
single plenum would be easiest, but the individual throttle bodies look better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) has anyone switched from one to the other on the same motor with everything else being the same??? *Jake Raby is the U.S. distributor of these.... |

Multi-element mold.
Wax or styrox (Do you know what styrox is ?? I am not sure if styrox is correct term. The white bubble stuff, you know.) I have thought the same. Only problem is, that the outside will not be smooth and may look ugly depending how good you are laminating. However, the inside would be very smooth. One possibility might be put the plenium together from many separate pieces. Then you could use one mold and make all six (or four) air horns from the same mold. 914efi, I see your problems with the 3,2L intake now. Just one question, why you have put the TB in such a tight place ?? Why didnt you put it in top of the plenium. It could be in the cover of that accesshole, or could it ?? |
