Well, the new intake design is well under construction. I will be updating this thread regularly with pictures and flow numbers for the new unit. We are going to flow it agains the stocker, and hopefully and 86-87 stock unit.
The most recent pictures are available at http://www.pro-motionservices.com/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=album05 .
As well as some pictures of a custom sheetmetal designed and built by the guy I am working with for this kit.
Here is a brief rundown of where we are at this point.
The intake will have a front mounted 86-87 throttle body. To overcome the problem of clearance over the t-stat housing, we are sealing up the IAC, and mounting a remote IAC elsewhere on the intake..this system has been tested and works well. We will be welding up the stock turbo inlet, and the turbo will be clocked to exit forward, and piped into an intercooler.
Internally, the intake is literally gutted, and the restictive intake path for the charged air is eliminated and replaced with a large plenum area allowing not only more air flow, but more equal air flow to each runner.
We are anticipating the use of the stock 86-87 intercooler system with simple modification allowing the use of a front mount intercooler.
We have discussed the possibility of alternate throttle bodies and front mounts and may make that an "add-on" to the kit, which would change the intial cost.
Speaking if cost, we have not yet arrived at a solid figure inthis stage of development, but will be arriving at a figure in the near future.
BE SURE TO WATCH THIS THREAD FOR FURTHER DETAILS!
