Frank Bullitt Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) I honestly think you would be far better off adapting the OEM intake system like imi did all those years ago.

Frank Bullitt Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Then you will either need to butt welded or fillet welded parts together depending on how they need joining, then sand it back with a flap disc or Dremel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Bullitt Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) If you are joining pipework butt weld, this will also work well for a flange. E2A Depending on the thickness of material used you will need to chamfer the edges at a 37 degree angle in a sweeping motion towards the right. Edited March 16, 2019 by Frank Bullitt Info added.

Frank Bullitt Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Front motor plate, it eliminates twisting of the chassis caused by engine torque and ensures that the power gets to the rear wheels.
