Hey I'm kind of tinkering around with making a VQ manifold. I have some preliminary drawings, but I was curious if anyone has any pics of the top of the motor w/o the manifold, pics of there own designs, and any specs as far as spacing, diameters...etc.
I have done some work to my OEM manifold / intake but I am interested to see what kind of upper RPM power is to be had.
Not really looking to market anything, I just want to see if I can do it . I have access to some machining / fabricating equipment and have done a few Chevy manifolds for drag cars / boats, as well as a one for my SR20 build.
Again any manifold information, pics, specs would be appreciated

 

what are your plans?/goals?

are you looking for diagrams? exploded view? or real life manifold pictures?
Any specific angles?

I need to take the manifold off my 2nd car and check out a few things I could snap some pics for you

 

Your request is sort of vague, but here are some past discussions on VQ35 IMs; modified stock IM and custom IM ideas, some with pics and some without, there is also a FSM picture of the IM in the Stickies:

I'm going to have one, my buddy is working on design work for it right now. It'll be utilizing a Q45 throttle body, large plenum, short runners. It'll probably have the IACV remotely mounted so we don't have to incorporate that into the design. We're sizing it to be about 2.0L plenum volume, give or take a tenth.
