Really looking forward to how this goes together.

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

The new manifold is a center feed design which should have a more equal airflow to each cylinder. Moving the throttle body to the center gives me complete freedom with the exit ducting of the radiator/intercooler to come up and exit over the engine whereas before the throttle body was fighting for this space (see photo). Obviously there will be some considerable weight savings, the old cast manifold was 5.4kg and this weight is sitting up very high in the engine bay, something I have been trying to avoid with this project. I don't know the weight of the new manifold at this stage but it should be pretty light compared to cast aluminium.

All great stuff again, I can’t wait to get stuck into the same sort of fabrication stuff someday!

I’m curious about the swirl pot, I’m guessing it’s to get rid of cavitation?
The wrapped entry/ exit design of the swirl pot introduces a swirl or vortex that centralizes any micro-bubbles or air pockets created from things like water pump cavitation, steam pockets, and/ or boiling as water moves through the block and cylinder head.

I imagine its fine. Not like dirt racing where you can jump and hit stuff in the ground. Not like the smooth tarmac can have hidden roots in it

That'd be a sweet little fix having the leakproof box.

Have you weighed the new carbon fibre intake manifold yet?

Looking good Joel. I’d want a cover over those items too! How well does it need to seal up?

Thanks Bennie,
I guess in the event of a fuel leak you wouldn't want it escaping throughout the cabin. I know a lot of people don't bother going to this much effort and just build the box without the 100% leak proof part but some basic seam sealer is all that is required.
The carbon intake has not shown up yet, I have been in contact with them for an update as it wasn't meant to take this long to make but that's how it goes these days with Covid etc. Once it arrives I will have a lot of work to do including replacing all the firewall I cut out and finishing off the charge pipes to the throttle body.
Joel.

Geez that’s mint, and shiny! Looks so good! Any other bits in the engine bay going to be carbon fibre now?
Cheers
Bennie
Probably nothing as fancy as this, I will be making some parts myself like the ducting for the radiator and intercooler but it all depends on the cost of carbon vs fiberglass etc.
