Nice work. I take it that was today's work while I caught up on the recent posts of Unicorn action?

Yeah, also made RD's fins for the top of the intake, but came up one short, so I didn't weld them on.

So, how's she looking? Please don't tell me that paying the bills and working is getting in the way of the build.

This is a cake that you'll just have to wait till it's frosted before you can see it.

Hey, I'll have you know that I'm a live and let live kind a guy. If Noobz wants to share his boy toy pics w/ the rest of us, more power to him. Now while not for me personally, what he and his man does w/ that horn is his business.

As far as that intake inflating at 18 psi, It'd be some weak ass steel if it did. Now,..if I was forcing double that into it,...then I might be worried.

As for the buzzing,..i could totally see how that could happen. There would be enough flexibility in the sheetmetal to move in/out enough have some harmonic effect at idle.

Well,...there was enough flexibility.

but then I welded these tubes between the top and bottom.

I call this pic "Bender's Colonoscopy"

It will be interesting to see how the internal aerodynamics of this work out. Swirls and eddies you don't need, but a smooth even flow to each runner is what you are looking for.

Wasn't there a tunnel ram idea being kicked around at some point Mike?

I think the design on the intake is cool looking too, gives it a little character

Mike, your project, your money. But it would be cool if you could have it flowed before installing it.

Plenum design is far less critical with a boosted application. So long as the runners have equal port dimensions and lengths I would expect it to work well.

It's a flow or no go from this point Joe,...If the motor is way down on power, and takes a buttload of boost to make any power, I'd consider it. But for now that bitch is going on there.

Completion pics when I get Nicks fuel rail by Friday,..( Now sporting RD's fins)

What? You haven't been paying attention have you?

This is a turbo motor. I have the single hand-idly strangest looking turbo manifold of life.

One of the first things I did to the car after I got it in the garage. That manifold (Medusa) has been complete for months now. Matter of fact, the entire hot/cold side has been complete for months now.
