Photos I posted directly to SVTP show up as thumbnails which need a "click". I was hoping to get the photo to display directly to the post. It appears the protocol for linking Flickr images is different than before
After you upload them, select the “full image” button and they’ll be full-sized. Here’s an example:
I designed and made Weatherman's intake manifold. Take a look at his pics and you can see how I accomplished it.
It's not a "mod". It's a completely different part. And no, it's not a walk in the park.

OK now I understand, very clever. The lower plenum cover must be very thick without stiffening ribs the pressure exerted on the walls especially at high boost levels with all that surface area would be tremendous, imagine a lower intake explosion LOL. How was the lower box formed it almost looks like an off-the-shelf vacuum formed cover.
It's a mod to the engine which was how I was looking at it but I get your point.
Here is the pic of mine which is nowhere near what you came up with. The main purpose is to improve flow to the runners with a very slight improvement in heat being transferred to the charge by smoothing the rough cast finish and overall, probably of limited benefit. The blower will be pushing a 15-16 psi on pump swill.

So not a easy fix to help the terminator guys use the SPEC R manifold to broaden the user base. Could a guy use a fabricator like Shelby Mike to make a spacer and mandate a cowl hood? Just in my limited time here, seems like you see a Terminator pick up a 3.4 whipple and a few months later it is up for sale. They just have to many iat issues.
I'd love to do a Termi R-Spec. I just don't think there will be a market even close to large enough.
The set that I have seen, he has them listed at $150.
I am debating on buying them just to try since my manifold is already off. I am not sure I have the clearance to the hood though.
Wow, that's a really good price. What exactly are they made of and how thick are they? Some of those materials are REALLY expensive. That price is surprising.
He doesnt say what material hes using, and I take back the 150, I thought thats what his post said but looking at it now it just says coming soon. I dont know where I got that from.
So who is guy that made the spacer in the these pictures using the GT500 gasket as a template?
I been trying to find someone to make some custom spacers for my 11 GT500. I already contact several places including DOB (Department of Boost) but ALL refuse to make the custom spacers even I told them I will provides the CAD models in any CAD format they need (IGS, STP, STEP, CADPART, etc). Most of the answers are too little $$$ for me to make.
Using the gasket as a template is good ONLY on one side (the side toward to center of the engine). The other side we actually has ~ 2 more mm of space. Below are the pictures of my CAD model for the top and bottom spacers. And the CAD model for the 1-piece front water outlet. The yellow piece is the bottom spacer to have more opening space between the bottom of IC (especially the KB Bigun IC) and the close-out cover.

waterjet is your friend. All they need is a DXF file of the outline
I even supply a DXF files to one of the shop who can water jet the spacers but at the end, no result.
Find another shop
I have one local here in LA who can do it I can connect you with.
Is it just me or is SVTP back to heavy scripting again? This site is back to being "crash happy" and is getting unusable
My ISP was blocking viruses from here. A friend of mine logged-in got a virus warning and bailed!Yes, I did contact you thru email back in September regarding to make a set of custom heat insulated spacers for the GT500. (with CAD supplied by me). But you reply saying you don't do any custom spacer.
I must have been grumpy that day. Sorry. Email them to me again.
Fischer makes the whole kit for $5k. Madskillz who posted earlier on this thread is currently writing a program. Ive been contacting him. The bottom spacer im told will be acedal plastic 1/2" thick for around $250 and the phenolic spacers he sent me some prototype picutes that are being r+d now that balance the flow by running equall size lines out of all 4 corners to equalize head flow. That would eliminate the hot spots in the rear of the head. I asked on this price and he said he didnt know for sure but should be done in a month or two. But he said he was shooting for $2k for the kit WITH removing the water necks for the intake.
So much great information in this thread!
Is there anything to be gained by increasing the reservoir capacity when running ambient water in a mostly stock HE system? Say add a 15 gallon tank in trunk with appropriate pump to push.
