New 20b intake plenum and runners

***TitaniumTT*** · 01-22-2011, 10:10 AM

Gordon, we're on for sure... unless there is a TON of snow... if that's the case we all may head up early to beat it? Either way, I'm planning on being there to test a few coils and see if two rx8's can match one RE in power

then of course probably get blown out of the water by a 20B turbo FD... should be fun.

I know those days at Daves all to well.... he's got damn good coffee though

at work we use a product from Lydall to help protect the cab from the turbo. The product is has a pressure sensitive adhesive backing, a 1/2" fiberglass core and a stainless steel outer skin.

This does a great job of protecting metal and fiberglass from the turbos--which are a bit too close.

I wish work didn't throw out my 8' rolled sample..

or i would send you a piece of it just to see how it.

Just throwing some ideas out there. I designed aftertreatment components for Peterbilt the last few years. Fighting heat has been a challenge. I do have some pretty cool materials to try out though.

good luck.

Ben... I actually had that idea and it would have been next. We tried filling the runners with sand before bending them and there was still a small crimp in them. Bending a full 2 inch diameter aluminum pipe first and then slitting it and moving the two sides together seems to have worked.

Brian... Good deal. I guess Ray's bringing up Chris' car? Its funny. That car was here for maybe a total of 4 -5 years. Now, I've got Davin's black touring in the garage for a time while he's in California. I should start charging for storage...

The motor is ready to be assembled and we are just waiting on the intake to be completed to put it together. We have my original headers and a new set that Logan (defined autoworks) made for me that he claims will add 20-25 foot pounds of torque. So, we'll be doing a lot of dyno work in about 2 weeks?
