B230FT sheetmetal intake

[nathaninwa]

Heres a shot of the current intake I have done for my car. It has the round to oval runners I want to do for the other 16v intake. This one is total custom for my vert setup, all the other will look like the 8v's that have currently been built.

On my late model 240 the cruise control actuator is under the dash and just directly pulls on the gas pedal - so there's no extra linkage stuff under the hood.

That's good to know.....can that be retro'd onto a 940? Ill still come up with something to mount it on the intake as an adendum......but my setup won't really take the stock stuff (I'm not running the spool) and the gas pedal option would be slick.

[JohnMc]

Not sure - IIRC it's sort of integrated into the pedal cluster - and that wouldn't transfer over.

[poulrais]

^ Bingo. Depending on my supplies at the time.....I can do a 960tb but them are 35 extra (depending on what I can buy them for).....but its complete as far as gaskets, throttle linkage, fuel rail and fittings (15.00 extra for the adapted metric fitting to use the stock fuel line). Its all setup for an auto tranny and Im lookin into a cruise control mount. The end user needs to mod there spool a little, and use the left handed linkage end for the throttle.....Its pretty much all there, ready to bolt on.

I found on my car, I needed to bend the dipstick tube towards the firewall a little and I had to run a smaller belt on the Alternator.

Sorry for the noobieism butwhat if I'm running a manual tranny? :oops:

Then you don't have to worry about mounting the kickdown cable.

Some cars have to have 3 cables hooked to the spool (pedal, cruise control, kickdown), some 2 (pedal, cruise control), some only 1 (pedal, with or without pedal-attached cruise control). He's saying the manifold are set up to handle the 3 cables situation.

I see, said the blind man...

[nathaninwa]

Johnmc to the win again.....all the same bracket....I jst designed it to work for the auto guys too!

[nathaninwa]

So I have not forgotten about all of you....slowly I have been working on all the small parts. Im mocked up for 8 8v intakes and 8 16v intakes, tho I think 2 8v and 5 16v might be spoken for.....just wanted to let all those know, my car is almost running, and tho Ill be helping a friend with some wiring on 4 wheel drive, I be splitting my time between intakes and that.

[Koston740]

Did you ever get around to doing that dyno with the stock intake and the sheet metal one the see what kind of difference it makes? :)

Your on my list!

[bigreddog]

A must have! You must have been reading my mind! Are you going to build one for the 16v head?

Those pics are better that a girlie mag! HA HA:lol:

Hahaha......Volvo porn! And yes.....I've come up with a tilted 16v intake. That's my first order of business to get out. Quite a few are very interested and I just finished up forming the plenums for them.

[nathaninwa]

Was able to bend 11 manifolds worth of intake runners today, and have one more length on order to bend up later this week.

[242Bleek]

Anxious, but patient here.

Im on the same list ;-)

[nathaninwa]

I have 4 on my immidiate to do list.

[HonestJhon]

oof. i just saw coupe's.



i need to get on this list.
DANGIT!!!! MONEY!!!

HAHA...thanks. I want him to get his on and see what that car will do!

I got the rod ends today....inejctor bung material got shipped from a separate wherehouse.

[klr142]

Sweetness.

[nathaninwa]

Little update, have some plenums all cut up and ready for the end pcs.....My goal is to make some progress each night, on at least one, or all of the intakes Im kinda behind on from workin on my car. Tomorrow might be out, since Im doing a timing belt and a little machining on my harmonic balancer.

But getting started back on these.

[nathaninwa]

Some progress tonight....finsihed up with my balancer and timing belt early. I may get it all beveled in a bit ready for some welding tomorrow.

**** guess I need to spend some more time in the shop

[MadDog_945]

Looks like parts of mass production :D Where can i find this fact in the pr1c3 ?! :oogle:

[nathaninwa]

LOL......I should charge more....right now its the easy stuff.....later is the frustrating part of the build....but a little at a time! Just about have all the plenums welded.

I about whore myself out workin so late at night on my car....Im kinda easin into this. I dont get to the garage till about 9pm.....and have been puttin an hour in or so each day. Got more tb plates made and almost done with a one off fuel rail for a gent in Canada.

http://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz88/nathaninwa/IMG_20110331_060903.jpg

[MadDog_945]

naah.. just a joke ;)

you get a faaat *respect* from me gettin this done after work with householdnstuff..

[nathaninwa]

It looks like Im able to make a sweet cruise control bracket for the intakes now too. Ive had some members inquire about and I took a look at it today. Ill use the 2 bolts that hold the throttle/kickdown cables and make a new alum bracket to hold it.

http://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz88/nathaninwa/IMG_20110402_183924.jpg

[badvlvo]

These are so nice that I think I am going to need one. Damn money.

[turtle]

How much and whom do i have to knock off to get on the waiting list?

[nathaninwa]

How much and whom do i have to knock off to get on the waiting list?

I just saw this....I can get you on a list. I have a group Im buidling now....pm me, and keep pming me. Gentle reminders are good!

Anyway, photobucket is down, Ill post in a while. I have the first groups runners all cut from the jig, and one set tapered to the oval opening of the 16v head. I had to make a jig to hold them since there bent today to get the setup to work properly when pressing.

Ill post pics later.

And tonight I think Im getting the injector bungs cut.

[nathaninwa]

Im still working on these guys......been busy around here with the nice weather coming, my honey-do list is getting bigger. But I have all the larger parts cut, just a little bit of trimming and I can start assembly on these badboys.

[2fast242gt]

i would like to be on this list doesnt matter where on the list, since my manifold has some space restraints and might require some more chatting with you and sharing of measurments ect. bump for natedawgs top notch work, you can see the pride he takes in his work, just talk to him or look at anything he built. always top notch!

[nathaninwa]

Thanks Brian. And to top off the Honey-Dos, we bought her a Montero, and ended up needing to put a tranny in it, so driving all over creation and back, and borrowing a buddys car lift we have it in and driving. Now next weekend I need to do the timing belt on it! Seems like theres always something to do....Goodthing my 941 is running top notch. Have almost 1300 miles on her since I got her running....and all is great.

[DNAsEqUeNcE]

that's a huge thumb

[Coupe' de Grace]

cruise bracket interest!!

[nathaninwa]

Yea....when I get gome tonight I have to tack up some vert motor mounts.....and a couple of these as well.

Hey Nathan, gonna be down in your area next weekend out in the woods going sideways in a 240, like Gawd intended, you oughtter pop arouund and say Hi!
Need to talk about an extremely simple manifold for these 48 DCOE ITBS for this wicked B23 16v I've built.

[nathaninwa]

Aw....is it the Doowhop (spelling) rally next weekend? Been meaning to talk to you about disc main/drum ebrake option for a Tgoy rear before I swap on my 8.8 brakes onto that axle. Got me a nice Tacoma Elocker rearend.

No Doo-wops this rear, its Rally America Oh-limp-us (spelling?).
Friday we're doing reconnaissence and tech, Saturday-Sunday rally.
I'm co-driving in Al Kun's --known round these parts as "Megulon-7" (or sMegulon) nice 240---he just got a GM T5 and 4.88 axle in the car, ought to scoot a bit better than 4.1.
maybe I can find a link with schedule. (I oughtter know--if the gawddam co-driver!)

[HonestJhon]

oooh cruise! niiice

[nathaninwa]

Yep, just measured up for a test bracket....Ill report tomorrow what I find. And got the angles for the vert setup mounts too...ot tho.

[nathaninwa]

And the cruise bracket, just a little refining and a small gusset is needed.

it will bolt down with the throttle bracket and mount in top.

Very nice. I know you're busy, but did you get my PM?

[nathaninwa]

Been busy workin on these.....and this in just today. Bergen dyno'd his 245 wagon with the 8v RSI head and other goodies....and it looks like we saw nearly a 60whp and 40wtq bolt on over a stock intake and stock tb.

Nice work Bergen and RSI, great job and huge accomplishment!

[nathaninwa]

Gettin close at these 16v intakes. Taking more time on just one right now to have done for the IPD show. The others wont be too far behind.

http://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz88/nathaninwa/IMG_20110516_231928-1.jpg

The plenum section is all ready to weld on, just need to radius the trumpets and port the injector bung out of it.

[towz-T]

Why do you use such thick metal?
Is it for easier welding? Because if see metal half as thick holding up to 5 bar in other applications.

[nathaninwa]

There was some calculations back a while ago......and I forget the numbers but there's. A lot of pressure on the flat portion of the plenum. I have some test manifolds out there, me being one as well with a thinner plenum. Just giving it the time test. My name is on the product and I don't want any failures.

[qwkswede]

loving this 16V goodness.

another one wakes up :ahoy:
http://i28.servimg.com/u/f28/15/18/67/20/untune10.jpg

still dialing in a couple things, some more finishing work on the boost controls and wbo2, reinstall radio, interior bits etc. or contemplate attacking the ECC/HVAC... on second thought, i think in order to avoid a frying-pan sized dent in my hood and my head i will hold off on that one for at least a few weeks.

Got the first 16v intake done....gunna take this to IPD and if all gos well i should go home with its new owner! Everything from the 8v setup works here. small change to the plenum, and new intake flange, but all my jigs work. Does take a little longer to oval out the runners but its a nice transition and ports out nicely.

So the throttle/kickdown and 2.4 iac should still work with all this

Don't want to discourage you from shipping it out, but there's really no *HUGE* rush, it's not like the cars in pieces and I'm staring out at the driveway waiting for the UPS man to drive by. But the wife's 4Runner is back together, I've got mine back, and the 245 can come apart whenever now.

Very nice mate! Im wanting one for my 16v! Need to change aspiration of the damn thing first...... I know this is a really lazy question, but on which pages are the dyno graphs and prices???

[nathaninwa]

Just a bump for this thread and an update that a few 16v intakes have made there way out. Plus I negotiated the front clip off a 240 today. Some members are wanting vertical 16v intake and headers to fit...., so I will get this here and will be able to better fit up and make some things. Ill make some vert mounts as well as keeping the tilted mounts....Ill also space some mounts to mimick a 7/9 series bay for header builds. Should make things alot easier.

[2bobrocket]

I'm interested in an 8v intake and dont mind waiting pm me please with details

Thanks

Nathan quality

[nathaninwa]

It was great working with Hussein...this intake was a bit of a challenge since I had no car to actually fit it into! With some fabrication process things changed just a little, and it was really easy to work with him on solutions to get it to fit. Itll be after I get my new tranny in before I tackle another!

[lookforjoe]

Manifold installed & running! Had to shave a little off the back of the alternator casing for clearance.

2nd/3rd gear log

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c190/huseinholland/TTandWothDataLogs/rev006LGNIWlog3data.png

I'll dyno @ Carlisle next Spring & see what increase in power I have achieved with it

[nathaninwa]

VE was increased on the 8v motors too...about 400 rpm on a fairly stock engine. Wed have to look at Bergens dyno graphs to see a bigger change.

Nice to see it all coming together.....and we should call this an LFJ manifold, you did all the hard work in designing it!

Is your wideband logging correctly?

Yes, it is (AEM). Still need to refine the fuel map & WOT sliders for the change in flow, but that was only 2nd/3rd gear, when you get into 4th the AFR's drop into the high 11's, so I may have to lean it out some. Part load I have some rich areas that definitely need attention, but overall I'm happy with the direction it's taking. I'm hoping I get over my previous 355WHP at lower boost levels. Regardless, the car is a blast to drive, the powerband is pretty wide & feels better suited to the M66 gearing than it has in the past.

[lookforjoe]

Now that I have the short runners & better intake breathing, I can easily run 8K rpms :)

So would one of these similarly built for a 8v won't be restrictive with a 8200k tach?

Yeah, if it wasn't for the improved breathing, it would be pointless running those rpms - when I dyno'd @355Whp this Spring, we went up to around 7K, but it stopped producing by 6.6K - not anymore! :)

Looking forward to seeing what you've got up your sleeve!

[myveohelveoh307]

VERY NICE! and my my those welds...

[nathaninwa]

So would one of these similarly built for a 8v won't be restrictive with a 8200k tach?

I'm sure the intake would flow that high. Wed have to ask bergen what he ran his car too. I've ran mine personal intake which uses the same size runner to 8k.

[blackv]

how much complete 8v 940

[nathaninwa]

how much complete 8v 940

Current pricing is 675 shipped in the US. Shipping out of the states is 650 plus actual.

They come complete, ready to bolt on. All you need is your injectors, and a 960tb. I have the tb sometimes....all are sale dependant.

16v intakes are the same price...a wee bit more work on the runner....but I enjoy building these.

At this point, no more intakes till I get my T56 in. Im finishing a group as we speak and need to wire a 4x thats in the garage. Then its onto my car!

[DNAsEqUeNcE]

these intakes should at least sell for 1k a piece.

675 is a steal.

[DNAsEqUeNcE]

Hey John, I did call twice before I left on my car building trip, no awnser. Things are crazy here too. I have found a lot of people think I do this for my day job, but actually I do this very limited on the side. Since the economy has picked up, were selling more boats and are actually back to 4 boats a year. At 3 boats we need 2 weldors, but I've been keeping up. So 10 plus hours a day and weekend work to stay on schedule here at work, then my all important family life. Daughter is just over 2 years old now and a joy to play with when I get home. I have my son every other week and them weekends are spent with him doing boy things. I do find time in the midst to get things done, buts its a half hour here and an hour there. I have a toyota pickup in the garage with a motor swap about half done for a friend, and helping another wire a 1jzgte in a beamer....thank goodness that's about done.

Really soon, I want to open my own company and do this on a daily basis, so the 5 hours I need to fab your intake would be easy to find! I really need the carb your going to use so I can make sure it fits when I'm done as I mentioned in earlier pms.

With my current schedule, it will be a few weeks before I can pull off an intake, I've been doing some prototype work for a firm and I have an order I'm currently filling with them.

[nathaninwa]

Nathan, top work man keep it up. Would you do anything differently for a RHD 8v? I guess you can't be sure if you dont have one to try...? Cheers

Thanks....I'm not sure what would be different to have it not fit? Maybe a picture would help? Ill be back in the manifold busniess around May, I have a post in the website and board section explaining.

[DNAsEqUeNcE]

Do you prefer those pressed style trumpets over the ones you made me last time? I ran those in my first intake manifold, i think maybe before you came around on here.

[badvlvo]

I am looking forward to one of these on my motor in the near future along with an equally entertaining header.

Thanks for the message. Shipping has been around 120.00 to your area. Prices seem to fluctuate some too. Depending on how many I'm building at the time, it takes from 4 to 6 weeks to build an intake.

I'm taking a little break right now building the intakes so I can get caught up on my car. Be a couple months and ill be back at it.

I will keep you posted. I'm actually active now building small parts. I want to get my stock built back up before I pull the trigger again too. I stop each night at a buddys shop and get a little more done. Almost have 25 or so plenums formed, rough runner, throttle brackets, its almost like santas work shop nin the wreck room!

[sleepwalker two]

I'm in when ready nate thanks

[nathaninwa]

So back to these. I worked with Ben Kaplenke on an intake for one of his cars, and we got together to see if we could better the product a little more. A few emails and couple pics back and forth, I ened up with a forming die to press these out. Theyll be a new standard on my lineup of Kool Kid stuff!

What're you calling "manual master"?

[nathaninwa]

Theres no brake booster. Just manual masters hung on the firewall.

[Roy 940]

Ah ok, thanks for the info! I love the carbs mani! :drool:

[MadDog_945]

will this addon affect the endprice of your products ? was thinking of buying an intake next month :)

[nathaninwa]

I'm trying not too. Things like material costs and power keep going up tho. The increase in price I've had is the free shipping deal, or shiipiing included, so now there 675 plus shipping.

[DagazEnterprise]

If i haven't already said your work is Wicked Pissah, then i just did. Brilliant as always!

[John V, outside agitator]

Ah ok, thanks for the info! I love the carbs mani! :drool:

Me too, can't wait to bolt it on....B23 w 16v, 2 x 48 ITBs, JVAB cam cores finished by Knox Motorsport, and of course 160mm rods, CP hi comp pistons.
But ssssshhhhhhhh, this is turbobricks, can talk about mid 200 hp n.a. motors here.

[PDX240]

You can weld, but you can't hide! Saving my pennies for some Nathaninwa Cool-aid. That's right I spelled it with a C, cause this is sooooo cooooooooooooooool!!!!!

[nohbudi]

Bump for updates

[530turbo]

any possible build date for another intake?

[nathaninwa]

Ill be doing intakes in a few months. Im finishing up with my car at the moment and have about 6 weeks left till its turn key, then theres the tuning and stuff. Soon enough Ill be back into doing them.

[impolvo]

cool keep us posted, ill be needing one!

[Coupe' de Grace]

arrrghh!!:-(

[SwedishBee]

Still doing these? Price? Timeframe? PM me info if you feel like doing another one please, thanks.

[nathaninwa]

Oh man, I should change my sig. Some members kept an eye on my 2j install, and I'm booked with 4 intakes and a couple headers!! Ill get you jotted down down on my list and get with ya on the next group.

[SwedishBee]

Please, and Thank you.

[sleepySOHC]

when i get the money ill be wanting a 16v intake

[Coupe' de Grace]

c'mon man we know you're holding out your secret stash on us :grin:

[nathaninwa]

I wish i was! Between the day job, family and not wanting to get burnt out on doing these, I just set cruise and when there done, there done!

Im also tweekin on a gocart for my son and have some final tidbits to finish up on the 2j stuff.

it's not like the chassis is assembled, primed, bay resprayed, and waiting on our part or anything... :-P really, it isn't ready yet but i should be getting the call on it very soon.

now on the other hand i am sure that your son driving whatever your idea of a go cart is, is a completely worthy diversion and something we'd all like to see a photo or two of :cool:

My dad made me one when I was young (9-10) with a 5hp Kohler engine, we took everything out of a john deer and put it together on a 1x1 square tubing frame. That's what really started me on loving to do mechanics and wrench on my own things! Best thing to happen in my life when I was young.

Oh and Nathan make baller intake, everyone should get one!

[nathaninwa]

Heres the start we got over the weekend. Took a dontated quad and trimmed it up a bit, added some frame from a sandrail that got trimmed up a little and got a real good start. Itll have the typical rear cage, and cabin like all rails do, just shrunk down. I should find a pic of my old buggy and post it, kind of remanecant.

That looks like a sh*t load of fun--both building and driving. Very nice work!

Nathan- remember that I am in no rush for my header, if someone is looking to install right away you can bump mine. I'm still in head work hell right now.

[nathaninwa]

Yesir, working on some intakes now!

[Group A]

And I thought my RC buggies were cool. :-(
I'm not usually a hater but you make it awfully hard...

[blkaplan]

reminds me of building minibajas.

[ahawks9er]

Sick kart project. Looks fun.

[haltechsupra]

SWEET! I need to put up new picks and progress of sand rail!

[Soundmonster]

Yesir, working on some intakes now!

Excellent! :nod:

[impolvo]

:hyper:

[DNAsEqUeNcE]

Excellent! :nod:

So this means that there may be tune changes needed in der future?

yeeuh

[nathaninwa]

Ive got some going, but there all spoken for at this point. After this is a couple headers.

[Soundmonster]

So this means that there may be tune changes needed in der future?

Indeed. But this one will be going into the 780 Bertone with the new build.

Use 3D printing technology and make one.

this is the one hope i have left for quality replacement parts to use on our cars, scan tech just isn't cutting it

someone, go over there* with a spy camera and report!

[Russ M.]

please let me know when you are ready to make another batch of 8V manifolds. im in!!

[badvlvo]

I love mine. Waiting to see it's dyno numbers on someone elses motor this weekend.

[1989volvo740gl]

please pm me when you're ready to make 16v ones again

[nathaninwa]

Im gearing up to do more. Working with some vendors on flanges and some other cnc parts. Right now getting ready for IPD and helping a buddy with a 1jz swapped Bimmer.

[1989volvo740gl]

sounds good. you do intakes manifolds only, right?

[lookforjoe]

The 5cyl intake manifold Nathan built for me contributes to significant improvement in top end. I dyno'd last Tuesday (AWD) and you can see the HP does not drop off over 6,6k, which is the typical failing of the stock manifolds. The Spec Stage III+ clutch is slipping at peak torque, so we didn't go WOT until over 4500, hence the very low torque numbers. Blue line is 14psi, red is 18psi on PTE6262bb. 408AWD WHP @ 7,925rpm.

Hit me up if you need any help with part/jig or any other thing. I'll be happy to contribute!

[nathaninwa]

there is actually. I want to come up with a way to have a universal weld on injector bung.
