here are some pics of stainless plenum and 50mm tube runners.
The runners are well overlength and have to be chopped to suit intake flange and the 2 fuel rails need injector collets welding on when i weld the full plenum up to get my exact hole centres.
Ive not done any more porting today so havent taken pictures of my inter plate BIGGER inlet ports yet.

You English people are crazy nutters.!!!!!!! :guinness ...if that works then we are looking at major horsepower dude...keep up the good work...still would love to see the porting...

done some more porting today and filled tapped hole and 2 injector holes with epoxy so i can port intermediate ports bigger.
The pic shows the tapped hole that im on about that i want to port further upwards into. I will retap the hole further up in the tap of solid metal as Im making my own inlet flange to suit.
As anyone tried porting inlets out this big? if so what happened

so is that crazy looking plenum going to take the place of the upper AND lower inlet manifolds on a normal engine? I\'m having trouble picturing it, especially as you say it needs to be cut down. And those two injector rails, is that going to give 2 injector points per inlet runner, and is this on top of the injectors on the block?! blimey. But i\'m very interested to see the results, make sure you keep this thread going!

yes its upper and lower in one and the 2 rails are going on the bend and on the very short straight bit that fits in the plenum.
The centre line of the flange to the middle of the plenum is exactly the same as the fc std plenum and runners assembled.
The straight parts of the runners shown on pics will be cut where the straight meets the radius for the flange to be welded on.
On the plenum side I will leave a short straight bit for the 4 injector collets to be welded on each tube, the other 4 injector collets will be welded further round the bend.

some more pics of filled inter plate and bridges, just got to port out into the filled hole on each intermediate inlet port, then clean everything up and its rebuild time
