nice work there, looks like you made a pos into a very nice manifold. Looks similar to the JUN now that you have fixed the runners

How does it perform?

Any more pics of the velocity stacks that the manifold came with? Why did you make new ones?

That's an amazing transformation. You should have been a surgeon.

Thanks! I didn't realize what peice of crap it was until i held it in my hands. The velocity stacks are casted and full of pores, not very round either

, the flange against the head looked terrible as well, the holes for the injectors did not line up correctly so i went ahead and took my oem flange instead. The rebuild has cost me roughly $750.

To sum it all up: It's NOT worth it

awesome re-work of the mani.

where did you get the funnels from? did you make them too?

what is the total runner length now & before you started? from flange to funnel.

Thank you,

the funnels are from a Swedish company called Pure Performance (www.pure-pf.com)

Length from flange to top of velocity stack was 10 cm ~4", now they're 19cm ~ 8".
