Will see what it takes, and let ya know.
Haha- Im just conjuring a similiar cover somewhat like that, but was planning on cutting vent slots or louvers to let heat escape & avoid any possible vapor lock issues.
Anyone know of a good writeup on adjusting waste gates? Or if it is straight forward post up here?
Vaccuum pump with a gauge, and an 8mm wrench oughta do ya...
Mmmk, gotta find that.
It will need to be a hand pump with a gauge not a vacuum pump. Vacuum will just pull on the diaphram which is already closed.
Mmmk, gotta find that. lol
Whoa! Awesome work! Can't believe I missed this.
Big fan of engine bays that I am....I can't wait to see the finished project!
Performance engines should look like you can eat off them.
Welcome Sir! The carnage is soon to begin...Quote:

Is there a write up on the process? I guess google is my friend, lol
Yes, jim is right, i didnt mean to insinuate you could hook up a shop vac :pQuote:

...55 bucks, but they refund the whole amount if and when you return it :D
Whoa didn't know these places had vacs to rent!
:stupid: Auto Zone has a bunch of loan a tool stuff. I use it all the time. Like the vac pump and gauges for doing the AC. They have the rewards system also. 20 bucks back after you spend 20 bucks or more 5 times.Quote:

Plan B - I am going to drill, and tap the thin wall or the plenum, and epoxy a nut on the outside to give more structural integrity. This also allow for the nozzle to be backed out of the plenum to prevent airflow interruption.
On the search for Nut-N-Stuffs.
I feel like I've seen both threaded bushings welded on and threading something directly on, usually for nitrous. Maybe hit up another welder?
I have some nuts n stuffs for you.....
I have one more guy to get an opinion on it. Will do...Quote:

You really cant tell the weldability of cast aluminum until you try the actual item, as the contents can vary. Most times if you shave the area smooth & its been relatively oil free it welds nice- tig with 4043 filler.
The upper plenum is a great heat sink, maybe too good for the dowels if theyve been drilled or if theyre small, by the time the plenum heats up enough to puddle, the dowels could be turned to blobs-
Welding aluminum is largely based on heat management.
I found a place that will weld actual bungs in! :hugs: I need to bring the lower plenum in tomorrow to get a price. This is to place the water/meth nozzles in the lower plenum at an angle so that they will spray with the incoming air flow. (3 on each side)

You may want to cut some vent holes into it. if not it will trap the heat under the plate which will damage the front injector harness wires "Heat rot them" and may heat the front fuel bank up also. I know the stock 3.5L harness has vents cut into it for this exact reason I believe.
This is an issue I have contemplated for some time as to why the rear bank seems to be the worst for knocking. With the plenum trapping the heat for the rear fuel rail it would heat up the fuel in the rail and could cause unwanted detonation and the rear bank to knock. The front rail will run cooler due to airflow but the rear is trapped under the big intake manifold. Even worse with the rear turbo there feeding it even more trapped heat. I'm actually thinking of wrapping my rear fuel rail in a fiberglass sleeve or something to keep the heat out as the only other option would be a custom upper intake which is not viable for me.
But this is just my thoughts....
Thanks Gonz!
Nekid she stays fir now.

So good news tonight! I dropped the lower plenum off to a very qualified shop. They are welding bungs on, machining to the angle requested, and taping them to fit!
The bad news... $240.00:drunk:
This place: Home - Xcessive Manufacturing
Which by chance I spied something that caught my eye, and attention quick! Sitting on the counter was this:

I'm like uhhh HEY! What that be for???? The owner laughs, and says "I was wondering when you would see that." He then scrambles around, and pops up with this:

Then shows me the finished product online:

Can....can...can i has plz?
Damn, that is a good price. Doubt I need it for my build but it sure looks nice.
there was a thread about those plenums already. i think jfast started it. you use an NA lower half, and bolt it to the aftermarket upper half
I recall that, but i dunno if his was in portland?Quote:
