Ok, Its been a loonnngggg, looonngggg time since I've posted any updates on my project, so I will give you a peek of SOME of the lower plenum work.
The pics show the lower plenum in its final stages. The middle pic is the intake upside down (where the injectors open up into the plenum).
Since we are looking for maximum flow, we've opened up all passages about as much as we can. The plenums were shot-peened (kinda looks silvery), and honed (not extrude honed) out, port matched, and finally smoothed for optimum flow. All by hand. We will try to adapt this to a prototype upper plenum, similar to the new VQ35 intake set-up, or the Ford "Cobra" style intake runners.
