Porting the Intake Manifold

[cndctrdj]

I was actually looking at to see if it would be possible
Problem is I need something I can filter for street use while non boosted and then if and when I boost it I need to be able to somehow do that too
I was kinda thinking about looking into going that route
But problem
Most bikes I know of are carbureted and I refuse to go down in tech since our engines aren't direct injection correct? Or are they?
Might give jenvy a call and see what they say

Hayabusa is a 1.4 comes with itb. Comes fuel injected. Would be a good place to start. The Miata guys have figured out a way to put them on the Miata. All you would need is a sealed box to be made to out pressure to the system. It's not as complicated as it sounds.
The bigger problem would be tuning.

If it's mechanical or electrical throttle makes the big difference here
Adapting plates aren't hard
Problem is im a performance nut and I'll spend hours avoiding homework to design the best airbox I can


And then be nice and put everything out for free!
Because what's the fun In keeping **** closed off
If you make a good product there's no reason to and more people can adapt it from your design and or make it better! Win win!

Stupid frickin phone

Also do you know of any Miata forms or anything on that mod?
I'm actually really interested on doing it!

We have 4 members on board for intake manifold development, this is about where Preloader's efforts ended up a while back. We need 6 more ready to pony up cash to start this thing:

More than likely not going to happen

We should do like the Miata guys do and build our own

We can already build our own, port manifold and modify for an external PCV. This is for a custom built and tested aluminum manifold designed for our motor.

True
But at the same time
Gasket matched plate
Little fab work

If you want to be real fancy then some cad work and flow testing
Boom done

Our manifolds are plastic - already gasket matched. Turbotech racing has proven results, check the LNF and Focus ST forums. They're picking up 10whp & 15-20wtq. If you can TIG weld like this and have enough dough to throw designs out that don't make power, I'd buy one. But I gota see precedence & track record before I put down cash.

Designing a manifold isn't the hardest thing to do
Designing one that equalizes flow while in space constraints is

That's the hard part

Also depends on how you want resonances and intake pulses to benefit your where you want to in the rev range

Problem is mostly here is you're going from a plastic pice to metal

Also
Not everything has to be pretty shiny tig welds

Tig is great for looking awesome while doing a good weld
But it's not cheap or quick
I'd much rather take a continuous mig weld that won't look as pretty but will have less weak points than start and stop tig ( which is hard a lot of places will do it now or the same with mig because it looks better)

and then there's material choices That effect how you handle an fab a part
Etc
Stainless has more to do to it than mild steal
While aluminum is lighter you need special differences to weld it compared to ferrous metals

This is mainly the reason why if I'm going to already spring the money for a intake
Might as well pick up a set of itbs from a bike and fab it together and probably pick up 20whp in the process
Along with better throttle response and response to supporting mods

But i really doubt if ever we are going to get an aftermarket intake manifold
Especially with how gauging it went last time

Not to be rude but talk is cheap and plentiful on the interwebs. Results are what I'm interested in.

No offense taken
If you want plenty of results of diy itb setups
There's a ****e tons of them on Miata forms
The hardest part really is just getting the throttles themselves lined up and to open evenly and correctly, and how you mount the fuel rail and injectors

I know I am way late to this thread, but would still love to see TTR come out with an intake manifold for the 1.4T!

 

[2014 Blue RS]

I figure TTR is in this space already supporting other cars. We may have to wait for our intake but (I assume) that is in part because they will be putting some design effort into making sure it works and produces a specific benefit that they'll advertise on a going forward basis. They won't just put out a turd because it fits to take our money.

Does the 2017 intake manifold have the same tumblers?

Did this mod today, then realized I never rev my Sonic past 5000. Guess I'll have to change my driving habits.

I would be interested in the intake. g

I'd be in for the metal manifold, but in the mean time, does anybody have any idea how to port the manifold, all I have is a screw driver o: phillips head.

But seriously though, do I need to get a rotary tool? Because those are ridiculously expensive. $100 isn't much for something you use everyday but for something I'll use once a year o:
