I’m trying to understand the path those intake runners follow. It looks like its turned 90 degrees the wrong way.

they are designed for optimal low end torque and high rpm hp…as opposed to one or the other thats y it looks funny…i believe that motor is only available in RWD…so its facing the right way…I trust nissan engineers

thats the way it is, the left and right front runners go to the front 2 cylinders, the middle 2 front runners feed cylinders 3 and 4, backside works the same way
its screwy, i know…
in this pic you can just barely see that the midle runners of each bank point towards the front and rear of the engine

yea nissan has been playing with runner design alot lately trying to balence the two…on my motor they are long with no top end power…then they did variable intakes…now i think they are trying to find the perfect blend

No doubt, but when I saw the pic with the intake on, I thought it was transversely mounted.

very cool :tup: my lincoln used a similar setup except it used two runners per cylinder. a set of short, smaller runners for low end and a set of larger, longer runners for top end (theyd open thru vacuume @ around 3K rpm).
cool stuff 🙂 :tup:
what kind of power do those nissan v8s put out?

Because an LS1 is lighter, makes more power, is cheaper to mod and has more support.
oh wait…
