[QUOTE="westgl, post: 95179, member: 2025"] Another thought I had to make a Intake Manifold like the Juans & LDwingnut manifold. Is to take a spare Goldwing head with the OEM manifold's mounted, to a muffler shop. Probably use some 1.625" OD x .055-.062 thin wall tube, with 1.5" ID silicone hose, the connects would very easy also. This seems like, to me, that it would have a better/Faster charge speed into the cyl.'s. as it would be smaller ID of the manifold, less of a larger air gap, like the vw manifold has and more directed. Have the muffler shop mandrel bend a couple of 180 degree U shaped manifold ends, the correct size thin wall Steel tubing to go from one manifold to the other, Like from Front to Rear cyl. on left side and Front to Rear cyl. on right side head, so they can be clamped in the oem manifolds, then at the top or end of the bend open a hole. Have muffler guy weld on a short piece of straight pipe on the new opening. Now you could use that same Silicone hose, between the two new piece's muffler guy just bent. Then a third piece could be made for the center section to mount the single barrel carb on, again using the same steel tubing for the center section and making a carb. mounting plate. I may build one of these also, Just to prove it, after i get the current one going. I will need to change connectors for my shop's 220V outlets, for my Compressor, Plasma Gun, and Welder, so they will be ready to go here at the new shop. [/QUOTE]
