its new 2 me

Well you will need some aluminum tubes and sheets, I have a quick SolidWorks 3D rendering of one, its by no means to scale I just threw it together. The red lines in the first pic are where
the welds would be for the tube and sheets.





Here is an example of a FFIM using the stock lower intake manifold on someones car.

thanks alot and where u find that picture at i wood like 2 get ahold of that person and ask him question about his intake manifold

[shiftysupra]

chambers your awesome. gonna go buy the tubing to make one :] pics soon

[supravan]

chambers if u made 1 the way i needed it how much wood you charge? your best guess. and just let me know at my email danielwhly@yahoo.com and then i could send u pics of what i have done so far and u could get an idea of how much room i have 2 work with and thanks again for your help

Well sorry to say, I do not have the skill or capability to weld aluminum at this time. If you need any help in designing it, I do have the ability to make technical drawing that any welding shop will be able to follow.

I would just need to know some dimensions of the aluminum stock your going to use and some of your engine bay dimensions, I do have a stock turbo manifold to get the dims of the runners and bolt holes from. If you want me to help design it send me a pm and I will send you my e-mail for dimensions and pictures.

Good luck.

i dont no what size of pipe to use and ill send you want ever you need to design it four me, just let me know what all you need and ill get it to you asap

Ok, sorry for the wait, I have the lower intake manifold. From that I will start building the concept on SolidWorks. I will talk to a few people who have made the FFIM before and ask them on what grade metal and what thicknesses to make it out of. When I get an idea on the metal I will let you know.

By the way, that van looks freaking sweet!
