1994 Supra

To start this year right, I had a nice box come from Ross Machine Racing today:

My first project is a semi-replica of their gen 2 intake manifold that Supra enthusiasts have become so accustomed to. Buying from a reputable company such as RMR is a much better experience than any I've had from a materials standpoint; everything is beautifully cut, the fitment is immaculate, and the billet pieces are truly breathtaking.

 

Take a look at these velocity stacks:

I can't wait to get started.

Got my intake pipe material, 6" aluminum 90-degree bends (5" downpipe material for comparison):

Then I started in on the runners. I couldn't find anyone local to bend the oval pipe (aside from paying thousands for another company's tooling), so I built my own bends.

 

Beveling:

Mirror-polishing weld surfaces:

Then I started in on the welding. Here you can see the bevel hard at work:

I ended up with these:

I ended up cutting 1.5" off of the flange-side of each runner to allow for better plenum fitment. Ran out of energy and tooling to do anything else.

Nino, since you have an 82 corolla, I would also check out the 3tc forums since puerto ricans are always doing over the top shit with anything corolla related.

 

You want to see how if you can find any 2/3rz engines(2.4-2.7cc 4 cylinder) locally cheap from Tacoma's. They bolt to the w58 and the r154 just needs a spacer to work.
