Short runner manifold, runners show some sort of attempt at taper(good), plenum design appears to be some attempt at flow balancing across the plenum(however much better ways of accomplishing this). Looks weird, but good overall. Who knows if it’s tuned for whatever cams/rpm that motor is running but I’d say from the looks of it it probably is. Far from the most trick though. A specific Biturbo EG33 Impreza comes to mind, using full Wiggins clamps at the runners. Picture is on my home PC, I’m here at the shop finishing up 944… If I can ever get the two fucking days of free time I need to weld up JClarks manifold I’d be able to test fit the fucker to Jays or Jon’s BMW for pics before shipping it down to him. And yeah, the manifold for the GTR is gonna poop all over that piece there. Hell, the GTR throttle body is gonna poop on it. Select few know the specifics of that setup for the winter build but I promise you, it will not disappoint. ---

Ungodly amounts and lots more power before the turbo spools. SRS, that dude Cowboy Bebop was supposed to run top end with some redneck in an IROC. Supra was 3.4 with a _big_ fucking turbo. Camaro was a 572 Merlin with like an 800 shot, it was a low 8 second ride. Any idea what happened? Sorry for taking this OT but I lost track of this years ago and you have me wondering again. Tom ---

Details: A few points about the manifold… - Dual throttle body and plenum design (single is available upon request) - Option of going with either a 60-85mm throttle body (this particular application is getting a pair of 75mm) - Tapered runners - Welded on both the inside and out - Made out of 0.125" thick, 6066 aluminum - Plenum volume can support 1600 horsepower - “…twin throttle body setup achieves more flow than a 105mm throttle body with two **_smaller_** 75mm units. A 105mm throttle body flows 1520 CFM while a single 75mm flows 915 CFM. By going with the dual setup, we gain 310 CFM while also increasing velocity.” I’m certainly not saying it’s the best IM ever, I’m just saying that thing is almost a work of art. :rofl ---

Benny, your intake manifold is already off your motor. Might as well upgrade. ---
