I want this plenum... anyone know who made it?

Nelson. Plenum volume looks small. Requires new fuel rails. $3000. Not sure if it comes with rails. Too rich for me so I didn't ask him for more details.

He's had several variations since 2009. There's several pics on his fb page. I'm scratching my head as to how he gets to the lower fasteners. I'm guessing you have to disconnect the fuel system?

Would be difficult to bolt the rear cylinders down as it takes 2 bolts per cylinder, and would have to bolt through the runners.

How would something like this be difficult to bolt to the head?

Lots of good ideas being posted..I hope we can capitalize

Problem is testing and overall driveability. $3K for a manifold? Custom fuel rails, everything else custom too. Depends what you want I guess. I like a certain aspect of OEM-ness to my engine

Hey TUFFTR I saw you posted this over on the other site...seems like it may be another DIY option for us?

I said difficult, not impossible. Spread the runners out to our location, and I stand behind difficult. Add the injectors bungs, and things start to get crowded.

Add meth injection nozzles and shit gets really crowded, but what kind of loser does individual meth injection nozzles for each runner?

Yup. Unfort I wont be able to get dyno numbers until early next year. However that manifold will cost under $300 to get to that state. I know for a fact on a 3.5L FWD It's good for 10HP, straight off the bat. on a TURBOCHARGED car I'm not sure. I have been told the big bend in the runners you see is a big weakpoint

Nelson's mani....



Small plenum but big TB. Weird TB transition, but it all fits under the hood and obviously makes some power. I would think way too short runners for most mere mortal builds.

I believe he had Hogan build it. Here is another Hogan built and has the same TB transition....


Nelson told me $3k. Hogan lists 6cyl efi at $2700 and $300 for fuel rails.
