wow, sheet metal, that is pretty amazing. i guess i am not real educated on the different grades of sheet metal. i always thought that it was real thin and only one size. can you give some more info on this new design? thanks.

Don't know if I should move this to N/A or Turbo...

Sheet metal+intake manifold sounds like a odd combination but that's just me

sheet metal intake

well my friend sheet metal intake manifolds are something new for the ka24de seeing as no one the U.S. has a production model of one ready for mass sale and distribution.

I take it this is only for your turbo application as well?

Why would the intake mani be only for tubo apps? Wouldn't it be used in both FI and NA applications?

I meant that as in "are they only making one for turbo apps" since they have their own turbo kit. Plus I would think that flow specs are different between an NA and a boosted engine.

Better flow is better for both types isnt it? It gives a broader torque band. But it'll kill the low end torque we all have learned to love.

Obviously better flow is better. I'm talking about the fact that over my time I've seen mostly highly tuned turbo cars using sheet metal intake manifolds, so I was asking if they made this sheet metal intake manifold to work for their turbo kit.
