Cool, maybe Dsmtuners needs a Builds Diary section or somethin similar for all these build threads.
Just a thought.

Like a blog section?
Like would I build extras of certain parts??? or offer specs??? or are you asking something else?

Yes & yes
So what's the area of the plenum going to be?
just a word of advice, circles don't fit in rectangles. j/k this is a killer job you're doing, I can't wait to see more pics of the progression
Quick and simple... I wanted to get my slicks up off the ground so I dont scratch up the rims or side walls. Also, I didnt want to keep tripping over them. So... Here is the garage mod I did last night.
It is just some 1/2" conduit that I squished the ends on, bent to lay flat against the wall, and drilled holes in. The other side is just slightly smushed the ends so it welded to the long, straight piece better.
This is only about $3 worth of material and 30min worth of fab time. The materials are 1/2" conduit, flat black spray paint, some #3 2" SS screws, and a small amount of welding.

Just a few more.

You guys are funny!
The idea with the intake manifold is very simple. All you are doing is using a vice, forming die, splaying machine or something to that nature. Then you squish the end untill you are happy with the shape. In one of the above pics I posted... You can see one of the tubes has already been formed to the rough shape I need for the head port. That was done with a bench vise.
I hope the guys at Road Race engineering (Road///Race Engineering Mitsubishi Eclipse Parts and Performance) dont mind me refferencing a few pics of theres.
This one is of a Magnus street manifold. Notice the flange side is the rectangular shape, but down the runner, near the plenum, is the round.
This one you can see the transision really well from the side.
And of course... A picture from the top to show the transision from the other side.
So basically, I am not trying to do anything out of the ordinary. Just going from what my (and others) experience has proven works.

Did I tell you, your my new best friend?
Very nice work!
I wasn't being funny just sarcastic!....

I would be interested in adding your design ideas to that thread. I'm interested in your plenum volume specifically.
