BP4W and VVT head AWD/FWD Intake Manifolds

[ftjandra]

Would I be able to send you back the flange I got from you to use? Lol. But seriously?

Yes, I'd be fine with that.

Do you have thoughts or plans for the runners? How much more clearance than stock would this need to the firewall?

Nothing yet, but I am guessing it would have to be pretty similar to the one in my car. Move the plenum as far over to the passenger side as possible to clear the brake master.

Ferdi-Not to derail the thread but awhile back we discussed motor/tranny mounts for the gt4 conversion. I was able to pick up a transfer case, did you ever here from the guy who was gonna send you the empty transmission case?

Nope, never heard from him again.

Ferdi, what is the ID on the inlet?

Somewhere around 3.75"ID.

Also, if I/we supplied out own throttle body flange would you be able to incorporate that?

Sure.

Sweet.

Ian, not to thread jack but where is this rear solar wing GB you speak of?

Its not a solar wing by brand. Same function but for the protege or escort/tracer sedan. Trying to replicate the oem option that is apparently impossible to find. It's in the works. I'm pretty sure the guy heading it up will post up when it's ready. He's gotta get his car to the guy for test fitment and what not.

Ferdi - all of what you said sounds good. Are you going to pursue making on for yourself? Or wait till one of us ponies up?

I'll probably finish it in my spare time since there doesn't seem to be a hurry in getting it done.

Susbscribed ^^ i'm planning to get a bp-ve head for my bpd in the future so it's always interesting !

Small update





Finished welding the 'upper' plenum and trimmed it to fit to the base. Wanted to try out my new smaller tig torch and so I welded the inside of the seams too - was still a pita and will likely not do that for any future builds. Next is trimming the base and doing the runners. I wont weld the base to the plenum until the very end so that I can correct any mismatch in the runner-to-velocity stack transition.

Still have to figure out the exact runner arrangement and hopefully I can find a scrap head locally I can use to mock everything up.

In a recent conversation with ferdi, it had come up that size and number or manifold pressure reference nipples will need to be determined.

Here's what I have come up with.

Brake booster nipple

Bov nipple

Boost gauge?

Waste gate nipple

Fuel pressure regulator nipple

Map sensor nipple


Does anyone else have input or suggested sizes for these?

[ftjandra]

PCV and possibly IAC. Also, charcoal canister, if you still have it.

[Mazda_Powered]

doubt people would want cruise control lol, do the vvti heads use anything special?

[Iantboyd]

Since iac was suggested I was looking into it. I came across this

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-intake-exhaust/448261-how-add-dsm-iac-any-aftermarket-throttle-body.html

Rather fitting since I too will be using the 4.6 mustang tb.

Does anyone one else have suggestions? Something more universal or billet in mind?
