These manis have been sold on diamantes for a while now. I'll keep searching for a graph. I would like to see what their curve looks like to make sure something weird doesn't happen that is unexpected.

The more I look at it on the car, I think I will have to take the car to him, and pull my plenum so the angle can be found to cut the NA plenum. We need to remove ~2" which puts the tank a couple inches short of centered on the highest section of the valve cover.
The options are to 1: add a spacer, 2: cut to an angle, or 3: cast a new tank to accommodate the valve cover. Casting a revised tank may not be that expensive, I will inquire. Thoughts?
Can we just get the 3.5 liter bolt on plenum with Q45 TB bolt pattern? (Passenger side)
Can do my own porting and gasket matching.
Sure can. that's the route I'm going.Quote:

The idea was we could just take it, flip it, and bolt it to a non turbo 3000gt lower portion (weld if we wanted), but it will hit on the valve covers because the na intake runners are slightly shorter? So our only choice is to use the diamante runners which kind of curve over that way anyways? And the flange that is on the surge tank probably gets flipped before they weld it on too otherwise the oval shapped openings to the runners would be upside down.
I really want a q45 tb on my car with a bigger surge tank. Trying to figure out the best way to make that happen.
3s NA runners welded, or bolted. Throttle body either side (exchangeable for bolted, not for welded). If shortening runners R&D is needed to clear the valve cover. (Attempting to do this) No mention of using Diamante intake for this.
Q45 is an option, other flanges at additional charge.
I am interestd. How exactly is it exchangeable for bolted? If the intake inlets are actually elongated and you flip the thing over, the holes wouldn't line up. Not that I plan on ever doing that. It's the same price for welded vs non welded? I see that JFast has already sent money. Does this mean we could order it before getting 10 people? Also does anyone know where the TB flange is compared to stock? My 90 degree IC bend is already pretty tight with the battery there. The flange isn't any closer to the passenger side is it?
