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.
That poopra owners username is cowboy beebop or something on clublexus and lextreme. I didn’t know he was seeling the car. Blah, that kinda sucks. He was the first person to make turbo manifolds for the UZ.
The nice thing about the UZ vs the 2jz is tons of torque. Ungodly amounts and lots more power before the turbo spools.
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
